What was your first game?

[Kyriakos]

For me it was Jet Set Willy, for the Amstrad cpc 6128.

It was my first computer, which i got when i was 10 years old. Three years later i had an Amiga 500, and my first game there was Centurion: defender of Rome.

Those graphics are actually not bad. For the scenery at least.

My first game was possibly Tetris for the Gameboy, Number Crunchers or some other game on some really old computers we had in kindergarten (which were replaced with Windows 95 the next year).

Then came a bunch of educational games, and Oregon and Yukon Trail and Civilization II was on the two computers in the library for some reason.

I don't remember specifically, as my brothers are both a decade older than me and I leeched off of their NES and SNES games. I seem to remember the first game that I was good at in my own right being Mega Man X, but I'm unsure about that.

 

[Serutan]

The first computer game I ever played was Empire on a DEC-20 terminal over a 300 baud
connection.

 

[Till]

Captain Comic

I still play it.

 

[Leonel]

I can't remember. It was very similar in game play to that of Blue Thunder but instead it was over a city and ground and it was in a fighter jet. I want to say it was an F4 Phantom.

 

[Synobun]

A very old Wolfenstien.

 

[PreLynMax]

The first game I've ever played was in 1986, a very popular Japanese game called Super Mario Bros (NES) using my older brother's shiny new NES.

I have been playing a lot of games created by Minnesota Educational Computer Corperation (MECC), and thier popular Number Munchers games years earlier, but the most memorable game was Mario.

First game that I EVER played?

Probably Mario on the SNES. No I don't know which game specifically, I was 6 or 7. It had Yoshi too, though.

First PC game I played was Oregon Trail (2?) on a school comp. First comp game I owned and played was Civ2

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

I don't really recall, but I believe it was Super Mario Bros. on the NES. I did think it may have been Desert Strike on the Amiga, but a quick wiki check makes me think that might be my memory playing tricks.

 

[Bobbtjoe]

Supermario 64. Epic game that is.

 

[t0mme]

First game eh? I don't remember, but it must have been either Grand Prix Circuits, Grand Prix Cycles or Qix.

 

[azzaman333]

First game that I played extensively was AoE2.

First computer game I ever played would've been around the age of 5, so I can't remember what it was.

 

[Luckymoose]

Duck Hunt for the NES back in 1990. One of my first memories.

[ZeletDude]

Well since im only 15 computers have been in my life basically the whole time the first game I ever played was probalby the game called Freddie fish or something like that lol. I really didn't get into games until like 4th-5th grade when I got sims2 for Christmas then I got civ3 and here I am today With many games

 

[MobBoss]

My first computer game was the original 'Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord' that I played on my first computer I owned: An Apple IIc.

 

[Rub'Rum]

First games I played were many games on the Coleco Vision in the mid 80s.

Most notably Lady Bug, Donkey Kong, and Zaxxon!

I got a NES in the late 80s with Mario 1, important games at the time for me were various Ninja Turtles games, Zelda, etc. Then I got an SNES on which my most important games were Zelda Link to the Past and Earthbound. After that I got a N64 but by that point I was already changing to PC really. N64 was limited to goldeneye and Ocarina of Time.

I'm quite fond of my first experiences with PC gaming at friends' houses. Oldies like the old Ultima games, I loved obscure western RPGs, running crap from big and small floppies, finding the unlock words in the booklet (old days DRM hehe). XCOM, etc. My first own computer was a Windows 95 one so I was going into teenage years then with Warcraft 2, Diablo, Half-Life 1 a bit later, mostly the multiplayer TF1, Counter-Strike, and all the awesome mods. Good days. Spending so many summer nights in the basement playing these games with friends through LAN and such.

Glorious!

 

[sophie]

It was some weird game on my parent's mac. It was this weird black and white castle game in which you were some dude who had to get to the end of the castle.

My first real game was Lords of the Realm II, and after that Age Of Empires.
