What was the first video game you ever played?

[Seriel]

Pokemon Blue. I still have the cartridge around.
Aaaahh, memories..

If we're talking about real games, then it was Super Mario Bros. on a bootleg Chinese NES.

If not, then it was probably one of those 9999 in 1 brick games.

It's sort of funny, as the first video game I've ever played is displayed in the OP's avatar (no, I'm not kidding).

It's manhole:

Manhole was one of the many nintendo game & watch games that became a fad in the mid '80's. I was probably three or four at that time. It wouldn't take long before all my friends and everyone at school had one, but I really think this is the first one that I actually played (and absolutely certain it was the first one I owned, as I think it was a birthday gift).

My first game was Shrek 2 on the ps2

Shrek is love, Shrek is life

I used to walk to a store in the neighborhood to play vs. Super Mario Bros.

I'm realizing most of you probably don't even know it was an arcade game. http://www.mariowiki.com/VS._Super_Mario_Bros.

You can't seem to link to something that ends with a . - it keeps moving it outside of the [/URL]

im not 100% but i think it was Super Mario Bros on NES because my aunt made a good living and could afford it - not soon after my dad bought us one and we got Zelda 2...I'm not sure if i played anything before those but i remember those vividly.

it'd be a 4bit game or something xD

Pft, "bits"? Old skool gamers use analog computers

 

[DinohScene]

20 years ago, Astroids on an Arcade cabinet.
Earliest memory I have of videogames and one of the earliest memories I have.

 

[Supster131]

I'd have to say Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back for the PS1.

 

[yusuo]

First one I actually remember playing was either Alex the kidd (the one that came built into the master system) or duck hunt/super Mario on the snes

 

[BORTZ]

I am a tad bit fizzy on the whole "first game" thing. It might have been any of the following titles. Tetris for the GB, Sonic the Hedgehog for Genesis, or Jet Moto for ps1. but again, not quite sure.

 

[Deleted User]

First game I ever played was Sonic Adventure 2 Battle for the GameCube. I've had it since 2005, and I still have the (now rather scratched) disc to this day!

 

[orangy57]

I think mine was Mario Kart: Super Circuit. It was so difficult for me when I was little, but I eventually perfected the game after playing it almost everyday for a long time.

I got a notification that @Bortz quoted me, and when I opened the thread, I see that he didn't. Is Tapatalk just being a troll or what?

Edit:

 

[RustInPeace]

I honestly don't remember. In fact, I can't remember anything pre-1998 except kindergarten. The first video game console I think I played was Nintendo 64, and the earliest Super Nintendo memory was around that time. So it's definitely Nintendo. As for the video game, either Mario Kart 64 or Pokemon Stadium. I know it was a multiplayer game, playing with my sisters. I want to say Stadium to show that Pokemon was the first and still the best for me in terms of video game franchises. So either of those two, I'm not sure.

 

[yuyuyup]

Duke Nukem Forever

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

The first I can remember is TMNT Turtles in Time and the Gen 1 Pokemon games, so probably one of those.

 

[Sakitoshi]

Has been a looong time since that and I can't remember which one was exactly the first but I remember a few games, all PC games.

Jill of the jungle. Fun platformer where you control Jill, who is more or less a woman version of Tarzan.
EGA Coloring book. A coloring game, nothing special about it but amused me.
Prince of persia. No much else to say about this one, everybody knows it. It was hard for my former self that I struggled to pass the first floor until I did it, the farthest I made it without cheats was floor 3 I think.
Commander Keen 4. PC gamers had nothing to envy about the NES, quite the contrary, I don't know if there is a game like this one on NES.
Wolfenstein 3D. I doubt this is the first game I played but is among the first 5 I think.
Jazz Jackrabbit. My favorite of my childhood and totally recommended.

Those I remember playing them with PC speaker (AKA no Sound blaster or anything), so it was before my dad got a sound card.
I also remember Battle chess but as I suck at chess I preferred watching rather than playing.
