Title says it all, what was the first game you remember playing and had fond memories of?
For me it was the PS1, and hearing the OG Crash Bandicoot theme song never gets old for me, got it as my ringtone too!
Super Mario Bros on the NES. I remember getting super frustrated and throwing a tantrum because I couldn’t figure out how to jump over the second hole. Hahahaha man I was pathetic.
That first goomba killed me three times in a row. Took a little bit to figure out the jump timing.
Hell yeah. I played duck hunt first, because my dumb ass didn’t understand a controller but cold BANG BANG at that fucking dog.
Then I discovered Mario.
Third was Dig Dug. I hate Dig Dug.
Rainbow Island was my shit.
Pong n a DEC PDP 11.
Pong for me too but on a Sears Sports Center pong console:
DEC PDP 11
Everyone else posting about Atari 2600, C-64, and NES. I think you may also win the thread on the only still supported platform with PDP 11 support extended to the year 2050.
Same here. I really am ancient,lol. I’d thought it might have been a Magnavox console,but they were sears diehards(no pun intended) back then. Makes sense. Even had the giant cylinder paddles with it,but no gun.
Well my first game I think it was Duck Hunt with my family and I didn’t understand how to play it lmao.
But the game I played alone for the first time was Mega Man & Bass on an zsnes emulator on our family pc.
On my dad´s 386 PC: Prince of Persia, Dune II, Doom
On my Amiga 500: Turrican I + II, Street Fighter II, Lemmings I + II
Mario/duck hunt for NES
Total annihilation on pc. That game was dope when I was a young teen.
It might be Jak & Dexter: TPL.
best.
Legend of Zelda back in 1989
Pokemon blue on gameboy or Super Mario 64… both were around the same time I think.
Just got retroarch setup with all N64 games so the nostalgia train is about to start rollin’!
Pokemon Yellow over here, with by brother getting Pokemon Red.
Tetris on the OG Gameboy
Wolfenstein, in my dad’s office on his work computer while he was teaching.
Dad’s colleague: [sticks his head in the door] Hey, what are you doing?
Me: Killing Nazis with a Gatling gun.
Colleague: Oh, well that’s good [comes in to watch].
Crash Bandicoot Warped for me.
The Warp Room soundtrack is still stuck in my head twenty years later.
This wasn’t my very first game, but was definitely an early one I played. I beat the remake recently and it was exactly the way I remembered it.
PONG in the late 70s, at a pizza parlor.
Sonic the Hedgehog on Mega Drive (Genesis).
Me too! First game console and the only game I had for a while. I played that game to death.
Pong
