First Video game you ever played - Mar 18, 2005 09:33
Reading Da' roosh' s post in the games you never finished thread gave me a great idea for a new thread. Think back as far as you can, and what is the first video/computer game you can ever remember playing.

For me it was probably games on the commodore vic 20 computer. It' s hard to remember that far back, but I believe the game was called " pinball" I don' t remember it being called that, but after an extensive online search, that' s the only one that comes close. Anyways, it was kind of like araknoid if anyone remmebers that game, and you had to use the infamous ' paddles' as controllers. Ahhhhh the sweet sweet foggy memories.




YEEEESSSSSSS!!!! After an extensive search I found the box art! Man the internet is full of useless crap!

My first game

I can' t remember. ' Eck, it' ll be something for the ZX-Spectrum. Possibly " Asteroids" or " Space Invaders" . It might have even been a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. The first console game I played on a Sega console was Alex Kid which came built into my master system! No cartridge necessary.

The very first videogame I ever played was probably the arcade version of Pong.

I know...I know..." I' m showing my age."

Now, my favorite old-old-school videogame would be the arcade version of Lunar Lander.

Console gaming didn' t come until a few years later.
Videogaming is the contemporary interactive pasttime.

I find it scary that most kids nowerdays probably have never owned a Megadrive or Snes and in some cases never played a retro 2D game.

pong for me, followed closely by Super Mario Bros for the NES.

Oh, and GodofWar, Super mario Bros 3. was on the NES, it was super mario World on the SNES, both very good games though.

The first game I played in the arcade was Robotron. The first on a home system was Football on some old Magnavox computer that had a cartridge port on the top.

See it here:

Funny. A maximum of FOUR independent sprites!!!

And for you young' uns who want to see the FIRST home video game system:

Take note; " This system is very basic, having no CPU, score mechanism, colour or sound."

first arcade game was Space Invaders and then soon after Galaxian - just having color with Galaxian seemed like light years ahead of Space Invaders... ahh the memories!

Mario is Missing. No action, no plot to speak of, no chance of failure. Absolutely perfect for a 6 year old.

Ugh, you guys are old.

Mario Bros. for NES. My dad brought a coworker' s broken NES home one day to fix it for him, and then he " tested" it when he finished.

The testing took him 6+ hours. Haha. The next day he went out and bought it, and that' s how we got started to gaming.
Back to Adventure!
