Your first video game?

[BronzeHeart92]

Same as title. My memory's kinda fuzzy but I do remember having the first PlayStation in my childhood so I suppose it's kind of a toss up between Ridge Racer and Crash Bandicoot. What about you?

The Magic Schoolbus Explores the Human Body on Windows 3.1

 

[Nanaki Skywalker]

Super Mario Bros. on NES. It was actually part of a 3-in-1 cartridge that also included Duck Hunt and World Class Track Meet.

My first was Golden Eye. Paint ball mode. I was about 4. It was a ploy by my brother to get my mom to stop sicing me on him to get him to put it down and get ready for whatever. I don’t remember my second, but my third was Mario 64. Idk why I counted lol.

 

[Lulcielid]

I think it was a Tiny Toons licensed game for the Saturn.

 

[Wol]

Super Nintendo, edition that came with Super Fucking Mario World.

 

[ForceStealer]

My cousin brought her Sega Genesis with Sonic 1 to Thanksgiving when I was ~4.

I spent the next year referring to him as "Sega the Hedgehog"

 

[Ghost X]

Mario cement factory (table top)

 

[LNK]

Bowling. Atari

 

[Eerie]

A game on a Japanese handheld where I had to catch cows I think (?) with a lasso. It used a tiny solar battery XD

 

[looneymoon]

either Super Mario Bros 3/Street Fighter 2 on the SNES, or Sonic on the Genesis

Also from the Windows 3.1 era, either Hugo’s House or Horrors (a text adventure game) or Minesweeper. Video games weren’t really allowed in my house, but when my older brother visited, he brought his Nintendo and I have faint memories of Super Mario Bros. 3, Megaman, and Final Fantasy, mostly watching him play.

3.1 high five! I had so many educational games on that thing, plus lemmings on a floppy disc. The fact that I could navigate MS Dos as a 6 year old is very weird to me, definitely couldn't do it now.

If we're talking non-pc though, Pokemon Yellow on the gbc. First proper console was a gamecube with Mario kart double dash.

I never had a ps1, and got a ps2 in like 2008 for cheap on ebay, which is how I played VII.

 

[Odysseus]

It was Super Mario World I think. The GBA version.

 

[cold_spirit]

I have a vivid memory of playing outside, literally in the dirt, and my oldest brother appearing at the doorway and saying something like "wanna see the Playstation?" I guess I had some concept of what that was because my next memory is us at the TV and he's playing Ace Combat 2.

Then he offered to let me play "Crash." I remember him clarifying "Not like car crash, he's a character". So I suppose the first game I actually played was Crash Bandicoot 2.

Really struggling to remember here. First computer game was a virtual pinball machine with a space theme I think. That came with windows. First bought computer game was Age of Empires II (which changed my life at the time).

First PS1 game was Tombraider II I want to say? But I never made it past the training area at the house because I was deathly afraid of the tigers in the first level lmao.

Oh, oh, oh! Or was it….


This might’ve been my first actually. Or we got both games at the same time haha.

Nice, same here…with no internet on my computer at the time, this was my life lol

 

[Leafonthebreeze]

Aah I think that thing opened on our computer but for some reason the controls didn't work? So it was only ever a tantalising image that I couldn't interact with...

 

[Eerie]

OMG 3D Pinball, I remember that ?

 

[fancy]

Y'all remember Chip's Challenge?

I was all about that game back in the day.

 

[ForceStealer]

Bummer

 

[Eerie]

OMG, I found my little cow-boy game hahaha! I'm pretty sure it's this one because it's the only one with solar batteries lol.

AHHHHHHGGG I've been trying to remember the name to that game for years! Even googled "computer game boy in green jumpsuit" in the past with no luck. Thanks for this, about to look up a playthrough now.
