What was the first video game you ever played? Details please!

my first game that i ever played was super mario bros. i have to admit, it wasn't that memorible, i played like 1 level. i really didn't think much of it. it was my uncles NES so it wasn't like i could play it everyday. but that was my first game i ever played.

but the game that's more significant was the first game i ever owned. i wanted a N64 in the worst way, all my friends had it. then on christmas my parents got me my first video game console. there really are no words to describe how happy i was. but i actually didn't even know what games there were for the N64. but my parents also got me a game. it turned out to be The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, the best game i have ever played at will always be the most amazing game in my eyes.. at first i had no idea what type of game it was. it was used, it had 3 pokemon stickers on the back, and 1 saved file that was actually in ganons castle (even though i didn't know it at the time). i played it, the brain teaser puzzles killed me, i got a faithful strategy guide but i still couldn't finish it. it was a great game. it's basically my general deffinition of a vido game should be. after 6 yrs of owning that game i looked at it, the memories just flashing before my eyes, and i thought to my self. "ya know, i really never finished that game." i finally finished it with no strategy guide!! i was so happy. but that game was just so great. i could never give up that game. it brought me into the world of video games, i'm addicted to them now, to a degree. but i always come back to play my first and favorite video game called zelda.

Well, I played an Arcade game before I played NES.

For the longest time I wasn't allowed to own a gaming setup like NES as it rots your brain or some such (parents can be so weird), but I've had a computer for a long time.

1st Arcade Game: Golden Axe.

Got so good that I could beat it on normal setting with 1 quarter. Didn't hurt that I owned the Arcade Game. :)

1st computer game (Commodore Amiga): Not sure on this one, it was either Eye of the Beholder II or Shadow of the Beast II. These were followed quickly by Lemmings and Tetris

Yep, the unbelievable Commodore Amiga. No hard drive, 3 1/2" floppies ran everything and the entire operating system ran on 5 megs. When windows came out (not as good as the Amiga at the time) it took much more power to run.

Oh, and to this day it is the only system with a side scroller BETTER than Super Mario Bros. which is Super Frog. Zool the ninja ant was pretty good as well.

Super Frog is a cross between sonic (you can run really fast) Mario (you're a frog, got to be able to jump high) and other stuff.

All those games are awesome games btw, check em out if you can find them.

1st game played at school: Oregon Trail

Amazing, what else can be said?

1st home game system (Texas Instruments): Hunt the Wumpus or Tombstone

Hunt the Wumpus is kinda like mine sweeper, but you have to shoot the Wumpus when you think you've found him and if you miss it eats you. Yikes!

Tombstone is kinda like space invaders, but you can move all around and hide from the critters in a grid of nine squares. 3 lives, one hit and you're dead, no save feature!

1st well known game system (NES): Super Mario Bros. or maybe Castlevania

Classics

Man oh man, I can't remember the very first video game that I have played. Such a long time ago. I do remember that we had the super Nintendo, and that my sisters were playing on it, I also remember some of the old Zelda game. I was to little to play on it. The first video game that I actively remember playing was on the PS1 and it was Jack 2. Awesome series by the way.

When I was about 2yrs old I remember playing an Indiana Jones game on the original Atari that my parents owned. I loved playing it, I still have that Atari and 9 games that we had for the Atari. I also remember when the NES first came out I was so excited when we got it and have really been a happy gamer ever since

I don't remember the exact game I first played, but I do remember playing Simpsons: Hit & Run on my PS2 a LOT. I loved The Simpsons as a child, I still do, and the game was/is wonderful. I still have it and my PS2, and I play it on infrequent occasions.

Other games I used to play a lot as a young child were Mario on Nintendo 63, Spyro on my friend's PS1, the skateboard one was such fun. And Spyro on PS2, Crash Bandicoot, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (one of my faves), and a few others.

My first gaming platform was PlayStation 2, one of those old big chunky ones. It broke after five or so years, then we got one of those slim ones. But that broke, so I bought a new one on Gumtree, because I still play a lot of my old PS2 games. Even though I've recently gotten a PlayStation 4. I switch back and forth between platforms, because sadly, my fave PS2 games haven't been remastered for PS4. Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds is also one of my number one faves, and it's pretty old, but I still play it a LOT on my PS2

My first video game was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. That game quickly pulled me into The Legend of Zelda series. I started playing when I was 3, and I'm 11 now. Right now I am working on Wind Waker and am excitedly awaiting the arrival (if they do it!) of Majora's Mask. The Legend of Zelda is something that I have LOVED my whole entire life and I believe if you play it you would be happily playing it a few years later, too!

The very first game I played when I was little was Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis. I never knew a thing about video games. Until my dad let me play the Sega Genesis. I played Sonic the Hedgehog. It was very fun, I loved video games all my life. I especially loved the Sonic the Hedgehog classics. That's why someday soon, I'm gonna buy Sonic Mega Collection for the PS2 to play on my 80GB PS3 (yes the game will work on the 80GB, it says so on the Sony website).

The first game I played was the first Lego star wars for the PC. To tell you the truth I have little memory of playing the game (that might be because I was five when I played it) but I do remember playing and I thought it was fun because it was two of my favorite things Legos, and star wars

Alex Kidd in Miracle world was the first video game I played, and as a kid I would often buy other platform games like Castle of Illusion, Lucky Dime Caper and Chuck Rock etc, after that I got the Mega Drive (known as Genesis in the USA) and played a greater variety of games with that console than previously, Streets of Rage 2, Shinobi 3 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles are particuarly memorable titles for that system.

As for casual games they have opened up a new revenue source for developers, and attracted new people to gaming, personally I tend to avoid most of them but if its good enough I will buy it, after all a good games is a good game regardless of its genre.

My FIRST game is Pac-man on Atari 2600 my dad own that game back in the 1980's. I really never have that much game back than. When I first got nintendo everybody elss have super nintendo. Now I own all 3; Wii, Xbox 360, Ps2(gonna get Ps3 this winter) Im casual gamer I dont care what other gamers say. At least I'm not hardcore like they are. I have life and they dont
