mine was snafu on intellivision. i think i liked it because it reminded me of the light cycles from tron.
I think the first my sister and I played was A Link to the Past. We didn’t know what we were doing, and we didn’t know why the princess and the green guy had the same name… We really got into the series when we watched our dad play Ocarina of Time. Detailed graphics, 3D, a day-night cycle, horse back riding… That game had it ALL.
i watched a friend play alttp at his house but i forgot the name of it afterwards.
some time later my parents took me to best buy and got me the same game.
i recognized it once i got near the water temple in the light world. sounds dumb but that made really happy.
one of my favorite games.
oot was pretty cool too. i beat that and spent so much time just screwing around with a gameshark.
Atari
Atari, tanks
Atari: Tanks, Pong, Pole Position, Frogger, Pitfall, Pac-man, Megamania, Donkey Kong
Some kind of Pong game. I was really little and it was my grandmother’s, so I don’t even remember what the actual unit looked like.
Then the Atari 2600 (my aunt’s), then the Atari 5200 (my grandmother’s - she was unstoppable at Pac-Man and could start from Cherry and work all the way up to nine keys without dying once).
Then there was the day we rented an NES. That day changed my life.
It was Super Mario Bros. Start the game. “Oh hey, the screen moves sideways! Good lord, this is a huge game.” Dies a bunch. Find pipe shortcut. “Oh wow!” Finally beat level 1-1. “Yay, I beat the game! Oh wait, World 1-2? WTF?!?!?”
It’s hard to explain the feeling when the most immersive game you’ve ever played was Pitfall.
Atari and Pac Man
Crash Bandicoot on the original PlayStation. I sucked at it then and still do lol.
My Gameboy Advanced. Couldn’t tell you my first games, but some favs were Mario Tennis, crash Bandicoot, and some kind of Mario Party game. I also remember a full Frogger game that I really enjoyed. PlayStation 1 was my second console, more Crash Bandicoot and Mario games, Ratchet and Clank, and Madden.
Late 90s and early 2000s were the best times to be a kid (but, of course, I’m biased)
I used to play this RTS called Dune 2000 i think. It was my first ever RTS and it was mindblowing.
The first game I ever played? Must has been Mario Bros 3 game for NES, or probably Sonic The Hedgehog, the first game that was mine was actually a combo of Grand Turismo and DBZ Ultimate Battle 22 for the PS1 at 6 years old, GT definitely was hard as balls, and not a fan of racing titles at that age, so I mastered DBZ lol.
I remember intellivision. I played pit fall. God damn that makes me feel old
Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt on the NES. I was much better at Duck Hunt than SMB as a kid.
The earliest game I remember is Dangerous Dave that I think was on a 386.
Either that or Gorillas, a DOS game on a similar system. Still remember having to park the heads!
Still vividly remember the day I saw and plated Space Invaders (1979) for the first time. I was walking home from primary school and there was a new machine, that Was Not Pinball!, in the arcade (called pinball parlours then).
I watched for about 30 minutes while I waited my turn, played 2 games and was hooked and still am 45 years later.
The Commodore Amiga. But before that I remember entering into an arcade room when zi was camping with my parents. It was semidark, and there were all these machines: Dragon’s Lair, R Type, Double Dragons. Boy, I’ll never forget that.
Also Amiga it was great computer, great games lot of memories
The first I owned was Alex kid on Sega master system
