The first game I ever played? Must has been Mario Bros 3 game for NES, or probably Sonic The Hedgehog, the first game that was mine was actually a combo of Grand Turismo and DBZ Ultimate Battle 22 for the PS1 at 6 years old, GT definitely was hard as balls, and not a fan of racing titles at that age, so I mastered DBZ lol.

NES playing Sesame Street 123 and ABC. I had a controller in my hand at like 1 and a half. I’m not sure how much the memory is from that exact time, but I remember that game pretty well. I played a lot of classics too, Mario and Zelda, etc.

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt on the NES. I was much better at Duck Hunt than SMB as a kid.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. It was a good one. Replayed it several times later.

NES, with just a handful of games at the start. Neighbor kids started passing around those knock-off cartridges containing a few games (usually titled 100-in-1 or 1000-in-1), as well as other games ("Super Mario 4", for example, which I found out decades later as just a ROM hack of a relatively unknown nintentdo game).

48k ZX Spectrum.

Treasure Island Dizzy is better than all modern gaming and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

Gameboy Pocket with Pokemon Blue. I may have played Space Cadet on a PC before I got my Gameboy, not sure.

Unsure, and depends on what counts as "playing". My brother got an old computer for cheap a long time ago. There was a floppy disc with a game on it. I don’t have more impressions of it than walking around in some weird geometry on the black-and-white monitor. Some sort of chess-board floor I think.

Truly gaming would probably be one of those small Tetris handhelds. I still have mine. Used to play for hours on car rides. Either that or Game Boy Pocket.

Wonder Boy on Sega

My earliest memory is playing either Chase HQ or Kinnikuman Muscle Tag on the Famicom.

Red alert on my brother's psx.

I am not sure which I played first but the most memorable ones are Bubble Bobble for the C64 or Goriallas on a really old DOS PC. Putting in really high velocity numbers to make the exploding banana fly through the building rather than trying to figure out an arch was my favorite strategy.

Can't quite remember if it was Donkey Kong Country on SNES or PokΓ©mon Blue on Game Boy Pocket, but one of those.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The system was a PS2. I think the first games I played personally would have been Ratchet and Clank or some licensed Disney shit like Peter Pan or Cars.

Ti-99. I'm old, but I can still Hunt the Wumpus.

Probably had to be Goldeneye on the N64. Split screen with my cousins.

But the first game I really played by myself was Link's Awakening DX on the GameBoy Color.

Honorable mention for PokΓ©mon Gold.

Edit: Just remembered Humongous Entertainment. Freddie Fish, Pajama Sam, Spy Fox on the PC.

Backyard Baseball. The original Super Smash Brothers on N64. Super Mario Bros Deluxe on Gameboy color. Perfect Dark on N64. OK I'm done for now πŸ˜…
