I will be 31 in May

just turned 39, and I was just about to post tank

 

[Angelcurio]

One of them at least. It's either this or Super Mario Bros. 3

I'm in the same boat as you. When my father first brought the NES to our house, it had precisely those two titles, Metroid and Super Mario Bros. 3.

 

[mattchuuu]

on

I was no older than 4. Just turned 29

 

[Tabz]

 

[Hightower]

I old.. so mine was a 2600 game.. I think Kangaroo...

 

[PandaL]

 

[The_Lump]

Think this was mine. Although I remember a few from the BBC Micro which were similar so not sure exactly which was first.

 

[spadge]

 

[rakhir]

On a old-ass, two colour monitor. I was around 4 or 5 then.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

Couldn't find a screenshot :/ Also, I probably played some other games earlier but couldn't remember.

 

[Dusk Golem]

First game I ever played. Was at a friend's house, they just had reached Tidal Tempest, asked if I could try it (first time seeing a game on something other than TV), sucked terribly but had fun.

 

[FOOTE]

Yup. I remember wanting to be "the green one instead".

 

[Cosmozone]

Lady Bug (arcade):

Good times. Too bad I didn't have enough money.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Pub Games on the original ZX Spectrum with rubber keys sometimes in the 80s.

 

[Stet]

Repton for the Apple II.

 

[nin1000]

Still the best Soccer game to date !

 

[duotres]

Msx Rally!

I loved that game, waiting for the cassette to "boot" was a large part of the fun...

 

[wurstkind]

 

[McBradders]

It were proper shite.

If this is the NES Batman movie game then you are out of your damn mind, that game is awesome!!!!!

This is my first game, though, at least the first one that left a lasting impression on me.

 

[Dekadez]

Shooting the rainbow apple since 1995.

 

[Wix]

First I remember, surely was not the first one.

 

[Stet]

Repton for the Apple II.

Actually, I was probably into Gertrude's Secrets before that.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I have vivid memories of the arcade I played these at. Place has been an abandoned concrete slab for almost 20 years. Apparently all of these games were new in 1982, so I imagine that dates my earliest gaming memories pretty well.

Just turned 36.

 

[Jiguryo]

Not 100% sure it was the first game I played, but it was the first one I had.

 

[drukqs]

 

[Brick]

Gertrude's Secrets. I wish it was something more hardcore or classic, but this is the sad truth.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

EDIT: It's definately Pokemon Yellow, and the starter choice probably took me a couple hours to decide, a lot of my childhood was spent playing Pokemon because my parents couldn't afford to buy me a console for awhile. In terms of on a home console it is probably the original GTA on consoles at my friends house, GET THE POLICE CAR! It's fastest! (Me and my friend were like 6 haha!)

You realize in Pokemon Yellow you don't have a choice for the starter...?

 

[FloatOn]

the one and only River Raid.

I'm turning 30 this month.

 

[ThankeeSai]

'Monsters' on the Acorn Electron -

 

[Oppo]

It was on one of these – Hunt the Wumpus.

god I am old...

The first non-text-adventure game I spent any real time on was Lode Runner C64:

I remember how to beat that board just looking at it. heh.

 

[jett]

I'm not sure, but it may have been Commando on the C64, when I was six years old.

In reality it probably was some edutainment crap on an Apple II back in pre-school or something.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

holy shit @ this thing

 

[Oppo]

holy shit @ this thing

yeah. I know.

Space Invaders in the arcade form was somewhere around that time as well

 

[forknknife]

An Amstrad CPC 464 game, not sure which one was first. I think Boulder Dash, which my sister and I would always call "Hormiga" (Ant in spanish). Oh, the memories :_)

[stay gold]

Lion King on Mega Drive. I tried to play it a year or two ago for nostalgia's sake and got stuck on one of young Simbas stages, brutal.

 

[Dr Prob]

The Electric Company: Word Fun

Probably not the first game I played, but the one I remember.

Seeing the Intellivision stuff in here brings me back.

The dragon in that D&D game WAS terrifying. The NFL game had physical playbooks. Shark! Shark! !

 

[Bauhaus]

So, now I'm a little older I realise my parents really were not strict with me.

My first game was this:

How did you know to answer the questions in the beggining?

My bros.

 

[Muku]

My first as well. Though probably helped with it coming with the NES. But actually played it at a relatives house. Before we left on our trip back home, we ended up getting our own NES to take home. So awesome.

 

[1emons]

Gex for the 3DO...

 

[Staab]

Not quite my first game but, I'm moving soon and was packing some stuff...

Tumbled across these gems : pretty close to my first games played. Nostalgia

I also had the sky slalom game and there was one similar to space invaders, blue background iirc, with this big spider as a "boss" or at least I remember the cover with such drawing haha

edit:

I've found them! :'-)

Space Monster:

Skiing:

How did you know to answer the questions in the beggining?

My dad sat and played it with me...

 

[Spierek]

 

[Noisepurge]

Alleycat is my earliest memory too i think

 

[Kissenkopf]

Days of Thunder on the Game Boy...man, it was rubbish but the first game my Dad bought me for the System!
