So guys / girls, I was just wondering what was the first game you remember playing on your first console. I' m sure my first game was an obscure Sinclaire ZD Spectrum game as my dad owned one. If I had to guess I' d say a Ninja Turtles game for it. But it could have been Space Invaders as he had that too.

But my first ever console was the humble Master System, with Alex Kid built in! Yeeeah. Alex Kid was aaaace. Rock Paper Scissors was the bomb. I remember me and a group of friends would play the game once every week and would memorise the best way to beat each boss. I personally didn' t kill the last boss but I watched a mate kill him. Ahh, that was the happiest day. The only other game I actually owned for my Master System was a strange top down shooting one. You started out in a car and then it started to fly or something. That was cool, I finished that by myself. I had my Master System a year then my parents decided to take it for a Mega Drive. Woo.

I don' t remember what my first arcade game was. Maybe Pac Man. I don' t remember what my first Atari game was... I never owned the thing. But my first console was the Sega Master System and it came with Hang-On and Safari Hunt on one cartridge. I also purchased Space Harrier and Choplifter at the same time. The first game I played was Hang-On.

PS - You need to send me Out Run 3D. It never came out over here.

My first game was Super Mario 3 for the NES in 1993.

That would be Pong, on my father' s old Atari back in 1982. I was only 4, but I do remember holding the joystick for the first time. My first arcade game was Pac-Man and my first PC game was an old text adventure entitled " Cave Adventure." In other words, I basically started traditionally.

My first gaming experience is very similar to Fathoms' . The fist game I ever played was on the old Atari I used to own and " Pong" . Soon afterwards I played Pacman and Space Invaders. Also used to have this ancient gaming machine that had a cartridge with many pong variations such as ice hockey where the square ball/puck could go behind the goals.

After the small steps into gaming with the Atari, my first really memorable gaming started when I got my Commadore 64. The first game I played on it was Super Tanx (sumoething like that anyway), followed by Gangsters (a light gun game bundled with the C64 and gun package). The first text based adventure I ever played was also on the C64 with a game called the Cranmore Diamond or something like that. You were a thief staying in the hotel across the road from the museam the diamond was being displayed in. You had to get acorss the road unnoticed and steal it. All those " wrong syntax" errors used to drive me nuts.

Frogger and one other game on the Atari.

I think mine was some game on a tape called Crazy Rider or it might have been paper boy. First console i owned was the Megadrive and me and my brothers got Altered Beast and MJ Moonwalker, still have those games aswell.

my first game is pong. on a small device that had 4 games on it. tennis/squash/ice hockey/and a game i dont recall.

right after that i' ve got me an atari 2800 (2 buttons more on the console than the 2600) with pac man and the smurfs.

i think that it was q-bert for the caleco system...it was really fun until i jammed a grilled cheese into the game port bc i thougth q-bert would do better if he ate...no kidding....god i was dumb

Why has nobody yet sent me Out Run 3D?

My first game would also be PONG
I guess I' m only as old as I feel.

First game i think was pong... first game that really made an impact : 4D boxing on PC. Me and my brother would play that for so long. We played that so hardcore that the " K" key was used so much (the punch button) that the letter wore off and stoped working.

frogger was def up there too...can we stop this thread....i feel old and crap.

The first game that I played would be hmm Dark Chambers for the Atari 2600. It was a real blast and the multiplayer was awsome Oddly enough I still remember it when I first played that game and that was in somewhere in 1988 and I was like 4 or 5 years old.

I should hook up the system and play it again

edit: And woohoo first post

Ok, i remember playing a " video game" that was pong, it wasn' t a cartridge or anything for another system, it was a machine that you hooked up to a TV and all you could play was a primitive form of pong. there was one player and two player (vs) and that was it. We loved it when dad would hook that thing up to the TV.

first game i played....Duck hunt on the Nes. Nothing better than shooting down pixelated ducks while standing an inch away from the TV.

Frogger in arcade.

some Liu Kang game on the NES

I can' t even remember the name now, but it was on the Atari 2600. You were like a little square travelling thru puzzles to find keys and slay what looked like dragons(made of squares )
