Your first game - Apr 28, 2008 16:27
We have some old f.ucks in this forum i think its going to be fun to see what people got as their first game.

Iv been playing computer games since the C64, but my firsdt purchased game is actually

Monkey Island 1 was the first game i a bought. I remember finding it in a bargain bin, it was in 94.

Before that it was all about piracy ;)

The first game I' ve owned was Super Mario 3. My father bought it for me along with a NES on my 7th birthday. Pretty sick gift now that I think about it.

I can' t remember the first game I' ve played. The first one I bought was Contra (still haven' t beaten it).

probably my first game was something like one of those tank battle ones on the original atari videoconsole, but first game that I really have any recollection of is Jelly Monsters on the Vic20.

The first games I owned were for the mighty Sega Master System and were all purchased at the same time:

-Hang-On/Safari Hunt (space age technology allowed an entire TWO games to fit on ONE cartridge!!!!)
-Choplifter
-Space Harrier (TWICE the MEGA POWER... you don' t f*ck with that).

Since I was born in 1990, I believe my first game was Super Mario World. However, we did have a Gameboy and a number of games for that.

The first home console game was on an Intellivsion rip off it had about 5 or 6 carts, Shooting gallery, Invaders, pong that type of stuff, but it was in colour!!!

Just found a link to the console and carts.

I also had a " mini Munchman" hand held.

Earliest ' PC' games would be on the ZX81 and they were text based adventure games and chess games, whilst there was a version of Manic Miner as well. My gaming was quickly moved to Commodore 64 then Amiga.

Yep I remember the ' golden' age!!!!

ah, Manic Miner I remember that on the spectrum.

First really stand out game for me was Gridrunner 2 on the Vic20 - Jeff Minter insanity at its best.

Attack and Revenge of the Mutant Camels were great games and very comical as well.

I still thought the Cinemaware games were good. The most infuriating game was Ghostbusters though

Would have to be Sonic on the master system 2. Have absolutely no idea how old I was back then. Probably the only reason I still love Sonic to this day even after all the crappy games is because it was my first gaming experience.

the first thing I played that I can remember the name of was Oregon Trail on my cousin' s C64. There were probably some Tiger handhelds before that, but I don' t remember any of them.

The first thing I owned was this thing:



Got it for chistmas one year, and I had to share it with my sister.
The next year I got the Defender version.

First game i ever played was Super Mario Bros. on NES. However, back then it was way too difficult for me and I never got past World 4, so I prefered to watch my uncle play it while I was jumping around while watchig him play.

The first game I actually owned was Sonic the Hedgehog 1...and it was also too difficult for me, while my father managed to beat the game. What an awful childhood I had.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World. I mean, seriously. You just turn on your console and instead of some boring menu a masterpiece automatically starts

' Frak!' on the Acorn Electron - was a platform game where the main character was a caveman with a yo-yo that he used to kill christmas trees with teeth, whilst simultaneously trying to avoid floating balloons and raining daggers! Very surreal. When he died, a speech bubble would come out saying Frak!. Hehe.



Probably around the same time it was Rebelstar on the ZX Spectrum, which led onto obsessions with Laser Squad and then the UFO series by the Gollop twins. Such great games!

The Mario/Duckhunt cartridge. However, when my dad bought, he bought like another 10 games, like Burger Time, Contra 2, Ninja Gaiden and I don' t remember the rest, but Mario and Duckhunt where my firsts.

As far as my first owned console (paid by me and owned by me) it was the PSOne, along with Final Fantasy VII, the Resident Evil trilogy, Parasite Eve 2 and some motorcycle racing game.

" Air-Sea Battle" for the 2600, a.k.a. " Target Fun." My parents surprised me and my brother with a 2600... but then they made us clean our rooms before we could play. I remember hearing my Dad playing it from my room, and cleaning as fast as possible. Actually I still have a strong urge to clean my room before I play games...
