Can you remember the first video game you ever played?
- Thread starter BWoog
- Start date
Some game on the Atari 5200. Was probably football since it was my uncle's system. It wasn't until going over to a cousin's house that had a 2600 that I played games that hooked me. Combat, Boxing, and River Raid. I can remember those three, because I stayed up all night playing them.
Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? (1985 MS DOS)
Did not play it that year, probably played it in like 1992-93.

Sadly I don't remember which one was the very first one. I'm pretty sure it was on the C64 though.
I remember seeing the Ghostbuster game on the C64 at a friends house, but I can't remember if I played it and if so if it was the first game I played.
It's kinda odd I can't remember with how much I love video games.

Sword of Vermilion, followed immediately by Sonic the Hedgehog in one sitting.
I'm with you; I've never heard of Tetris or Zelda either

I think it was ADVENTURE for the Atari2600... but I'm not completely sure.
First game I ever saved up for and bought myself was Simon's Quest, though!

I have vague memories around 3 or 4 of playing a tabletop Pac-Man unit at my babysitter's house, no idea if I was actually playing the game correctly. I remember my dad playing atari and some vector based computer games around that time as well. I think my first real videogame experience (as in I was playing it and knew what I was doing) was Super Mario Bros 1 on the NES at age 5.
I remember it being Toy Story 2 on the PS1. I may be wrong about if it was the first, but it was definitely early on
It was either Kessen, Pokemon Yellow(or TCG), Roller Coaster Tycoon, or Dungeon Keeper. Been a while but those are my earliest gaming memories.
I can't remember whether it was Tetris on one of those cheap, bricktastic one-game handhelds or... some swordfighting game on the Amiga, never got the name. I remember heads went a-flyin' a lot though.
On something I actually owned, it was Sonic the Hedgehog.

Super Mario Bros. at my aunt's house. My parents had to get me an NES soon after otherwise I never would have shut up about it.
