View Full Version : Whats the first game you ever played?
I was just reading GameCube's Sonic The Hedgehog and I thought how old the first sonic is, then I got to thinking the first game I ever played, it's a while ago now ;/
and I can't fully remember but i think it was something like ... Pac Man or an old arcade game called Bubbles. 10p a game and you could play till you lost all three lives.
Oh also dose any one here remember the old BBC computers? One of the first floppy disks *card board* games in schools was called POD?
POD was cool :D

Super mario bros and duck hunt here. I got my first NES with a zapper pistol when I was five, and I got my Amiga 500 at the age of seven.
First game? Rescue Rangers for snes. First RPG? Secret of Mana. God I love that game.

Castlevania um... something on NES. I played it all day long Christmas when I was 3 (maaaaybe 4, but I think I was 3... that's Christmas 15 years 6 months ago btw). =) Own
Sonic the Hedgehog 1 I think, might have been the original mario Bros. though.

For me it was BURGERTIME. I loved that game! It was for some system that came out before atari. I think it was called intelevision or something like that. My first RPG was Phantasy Star 4 for Sega Gensis. Such a good RPG!

I think the name of the football game you were refering too Insolance was called Techmo Bowl or something like that. I remember the hocky one called Blades of Steel. I think that was like the first hockey video game you could fight in.

i bet that no one here has ever beaten the game mafat conspiracy, golgo 13, the one for the really bad graffics in those super hard mazes, yes people tend to quit the game right when you go to the maze but dude i freakin beat the maze and 3 more and so i had to beat that dam game for good...and so i did..if you want to TRY to play it, i think you canget the game and emulator for the dreamcast, i try to beat the gam at least once a year so i dont forget

I am so reviving this thread! The first games I ever played were Mario Cart [SNES], Mario RPG [SNES], and RPG Maker [PS1]. Not a joke, I seriously just revived this thread. I wonder if anyone was subscribed to this thread, and will get an email, and they will come back. Now that would be interesting.
Damn. I think actually the first video that I ever actually played was Super Mario original. I was around 3 at the time, I quickly became addicted and then moved to Super Mario 2, and it began.

It was a negative because you added a negative to me on the "Leveling?" thread. Just don't do that, and I won't.

I negative repped you because all you do is spam about cheese. That is a meaningful thread in "FORUM DISCUSSION" not The Chatterbox. Keep spam where it belongs and stop ruining decent threads.
Retaliating by giving me a neg. rep on a post where I did nothing but stick to the OP is immature and may cause me to neg. rep you in the future.
Have a good day.

How about we not have an argument in a thread about the firsts games you played T_T... As for me as far back as i remember anyway, the first game i played was Tony Hawk Proskater when i was five, then final fantasy eight was the next.

2008-03-22, 12:37 AM
I'd have to say pitfall for atari.
My first 'computer' game was either Oregon trail, or Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego .. good times. I think I got hooked after that :)
HandOfHeaven
2008-03-24, 07:53 AM
First computer game would've been SimFarm.
WetWired
2008-03-24, 08:07 AM
Heh, I remember there were several different Carmen Sandiego games. Where in the USA, Where in the World, Where in Time. I remember playing Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego on my 4 color CGA.
My first computer games were probably the shareware ones that came on 5.25" disks with computer magazines back in the 80s. I remember Kingdom of Kroz and Dr. Seeptite pretty well.
I remember when Doom came out, it was so amazing. I still play Doom, using an OpenGL port, jDoom.

I remember the Oregon Trail, though I was too young to understand how to play and the concept of the game. It now won't work on any of these new computers due to the compatibility issues.
First Computer game I played: SimCity, I think.
