My first game was jet pac for the zx spectrum. I can still remember my mum taking me to the shop to get it and me spending ages to pick a game. My mum kept saying that jet pac looked rubbish and to pick something else. She gave up eventually and let me get it. Little did we know that jet pac even today is considered one of if not the best game ever on the zx spectrum.
Trying to remba how much spectrum games we're back then may of been £8.99 and with commodore and amstrad £9.99 nearly every game I had think the cassette cases always ended up getting a crack:lol:

Remember playing these a lot in the car as a kid. There was also one that was a maze that kinda moved like an old smt games down corridors and stuff. Color was mostly black on that one, but I can't find it for the life of me

It must have been Super Mario World or Super Mario All-Stars because the SNES was the first console I had as a child, but I really can't remember. Zelda was probably too complicated for me when I was very young.

I have very fond memories of playing Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA), though. It was my favourite as a child because it had no timer, I loved just messing around and throwing enemies onto platforms and watching them move back and forth.:lol:

I also have great memories of the first Rayman game which was the first game my parents bought for my very first computer. I still have the cardboard box of the game and my extremely scratched CD.

First one for me was Super Mario Bros on the NES. I was something like 3 or 4, at a neighbor's house while my parents were gone. At the time the older girl watching us had an NES in her room and was something I got to try. I remember quite clearly having no clue what was going on, but the fact I could move the little dude on screen was awesome to me :rofl2: . After that, fast forward about 10 years and the first "true" game I ever beat was Pokémon Yellow, on a DMG-01.

Believe it or not, the first video game I (remember) playing was the original Super Mario Bros. on my Dad's old NES. I distinctly remember shouting "Rose, rose!" whenever a Fire Flower would pop up. Ah, those were quite the days...

Oof man, it was some platformer on windows 98 when I was 4 or 5.
I wish I could remember at least the sprites on screen, I just remember jumping from platform to platform with water in-between, and at one point there was a cyclop that I don't think I ever got through..

Otherwise, at the age of 6 my mom gifted me a GBA with Pokemon Leaf Green.
