Your first ever video game.

[Laiska]

I don't know for certain the first video game I personally played, but if computer games count too then my first gaming experience was watching my parents play stuff like Loom (by LucasArts, still one of my absolute favourites) and Lemmings, on their old Mac IIs. I get the impression, though that ths was probably the first game I played on my own, when I was 2 or 3... xD

As for the first console game, Super Mario World or Mortal Kombat, on consoles owned by other people. I didn't have a non-PC game of my own until Pokemon Yellow, I think.

My super first video game? Man that's hard to say. I mean, I did play games a lot as a kid, and that includes computer games like solitaire and some random old form of snake that was alone on a simple handheld console. But...If we mean console games, I guess the first ones I can really remember are some sort of basketball/sport game on the Sega Genesis. I played Genesis a lot as a kid, particularly with my dad or my cousins. Sometimes we'd go to my basement when I was around six and play as a group of me, one or two of my friends that lived nearby, and one or two of my cousins that were visiting.

...Sometimes they went easy on me though because they felt bad I was the only girl, and I'd get mad. xD

I think my first game was this old windows 98 era game on pc with 3d graphics. You walked around a grocery store and you picked up stuff like pringles and jiffy, you pressed space to let go of your cart and then you bring the item back to the cart. It was some sort of race, all i remember is that one of the characters looked like the gamespy logo. BUT I can't remember the name!!!!!!

I don't know if this counts, but the first few game I played were PC and educational (sigh...this feels a little sad now that I've typed it). The first was called Grammar Factory, which as its name suggests, helps to improve your grammar with quizzes. The one I racked the most hours in was Bookworm, which expanded my vocabulary (especially when you're stuck and need to start making up words and hoping they are in the dictionary in order to survive).

But in terms of console games, the first would be Pokemon Platinum. A late start in my life, but a start nonetheless, due to my brother's constant nagging for a DS.

I honestly don't remember my first game ever (Super Mario? Tetris? Something like that, probably), but my first ever game on the PC was Age of Empires II, it came for free with our first ever PC and I was incredibly amazed by this whole new world that opened up. Mind you, I never actually finished the campaign, but I had a lot of fun building cities and mining resources and the likes and I was almost obsessed with the game! Me and my brother would always fight over who would play. We've never seen a game that was so realistic and I even dreamed about it.

Crenshaw: If they count, it was the same for me. Except I started on a typing tutor program when I was a toddler...I think it was Mario? I forget really. xD

My first video game? I remember it as clear as day. Sega Genesis: Sonic The Hedgehog. Loved it man, of course I think my family had a sorta 5 games-in-one cartridge, so I also played tons of Streets of Rage and Super Hang On. But Sonic was my first; that's why he's my most favorite game character/hero

?

Yooo, this was my jam.

[Rinima]

Fairly sure it was Pokemon: Blue what introduced me into the world of games?

[Green Glasses Girl]

Duck Hunt for the NES. Remember that plastic gun that came with it?

[LVUER]

Yes, a light gun! The legendary gun that can blast everything away... Captain N, the Game Master!!!

[Hyraculon]

I had Mario/Duck Hunt. I used to sit right next to the screen with that blaster and cheat... as a kid I never knew you could actually just aim it at the wall.

[Midnighticequeen]

Probably Tetris or Ms. Packman. Good times.

[Derpravity]

Some old DOS arcade game or other, probably a knock-off of Pacman called "Chomp" or a snake game. My family didn't get any kind of video game console until the SNES came around.

My first console game was Super Mario All-Stars, because the SNES package came with it, and that's very nostalgic for me. Then the next game was Kirby's Fun Pak (Kirby Super Star), I think. That was the first game that was sort of mine, because I wanted to get Donkey Kong Country 3 when I learned that the main character was a girl, and when the game store was sold out of it my mum asked them to recommend another good game for girls. Such innocent times.
