What's the first game you ever played?

[Maniacal]

Ya know, it very well might have been Tetris or a race car game for the first Gameboy.

 

[King of Town]

Commander Keen

Haha that game was fun back in the day!

 

[Gilder]

I think it was... Super Mario Kart?

 

[King Flevance]

I honestly dont remember exactly but it was probably one of these for our old atari. (Not sure what kind of atari - top mount cartridge with 4 switches on each side)

-Pac-Man
-Combat
-Galaga ... maybe Megalomania.... it was a space shooter game with an orange label on the cover and a weird name I never understood.
-Kaboom!

These are the 4 we played the most on it. It may have easily been one of the other ones though. Or maybe even one at a laundramat or store or something. (I wasn't really allowed to play with the Atari until I was like 5 or 6.)

The IBM port of Maniac Mansion, after that came games like Atomix, Warcraft I, Wolfenstein 3D and Hocus Pocus. There were plenty of other old games as well, but I don't remember the names. Of cource, all of said games were in English and back then I didn't understand a word English. All this on three computers, started with a 286 and a 386 and finally a 486, that my father brought home from work.

Duck Hunt was pretty far back also.

 

[warpstorm]

Dude. Two words.

SPACE WARS.

Fives up high.

I've played that in the arcade now that I think about it. Two ships dueling.

 

[Catharsis]

Probably Blobbo Lite. My dad had that on his old Macintosh.

 

[Swein Forkbeard]

First Video Game I Ever Played: Don't Know. I've Played Plenty of Arcade Games.
First Nintendo Game I Ever Played: Super Smash Bros. Melee
First SEGA Game I Ever Played: Super Monkey Ball

 

[Catharsis]

Oh no, wait, it might have been Space Junkie! Brilliant game, Space Invaders clone basically, still probably my all-time favourite.

 

[civverguy]

Command and Conquer: Red Alert. It really got me into strategy games.

 

[carmen510]

Starcraft, when I was two or three, because I had no idea what it was and my cousin made it look interesting.

 

[raketooy]

Our first console was NES, we had it before I was born, and we had lots of games for it. Among the first games I played are Super Mario Bros. 1-3, Cobra Triangle, Tennis, Tetris (although I guess I didn't have the patience very young). The very first is probably SMB 1 or 3.

 

[Swein Forkbeard]

For me it was RBI baseball, I was then and still am baseball crazy. I still play that game with my friends. I can beat anyone with any team.

You mean Baseball Stars?

 

[King of Town]

You mean Baseball Stars?

Nah man RBI baseball, it's the first nintendo game with an mlb license. While baseball stars 2 was fun, there is no comparison. RBI rocks all baseball games until Ken Griffey Jr baseball.

 

[D'Artagnan59]

First Nintendo Game: Pokemon.
First PlayStation Game: Spyro the Dragon.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

I think it was Civ.
Or Dune II.

 

[JtheJackal]

After talking with my parents on the subject I most likely played the game Dungeon Master on the Atari ST before any other game.

 

[Kal'thzar]

Dune 2

Sand and Spice.
