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
I’m pretty sure it was Pong on a dedicated console from Sears. I remember playing Pong when I was super young, but I don’t remember if that was at the same time as us getting an Atari 2600 or not.
Was it pong with two gigantic, wired controllers with turn knows? That’s what we had
I’m pretty sure it was Paperboy on one of those Tiger Handhelds. Looking them up now brings back memories.
Legend of Zelda back in 1989
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].
Console would have to be the Mario/duck hunt/track and field combo. Pc would be either dos MegaMan or kurstys fun house.
We had that, Mario 3, and Marble Madness. I never got more than a few levels into any of them.
Total annihilation on pc. That game was dope when I was a young teen.
OG NES Duck Hunt.
Prob some racing game on Commodore 64. Or Mario on NES. It’s hard to remember.
On PC though, Little Big Adventure 2.
For me it must’ve been either one of the Commander Keen games or the original Prince of Persia back in the early 90s. Still damn good games.
The original Super Mario Bros on the NES, purchased for me by my grandmother.
First PC game? Math Blaster on a Macintosh 128K
First console game? Super Mario Bros.
First Board Game? Parcheesi/Monopoly
Also was included in my parents D&D group once I was 5 or 6
