:)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Genesis. Either that or my dad's Game Boy (Tetris and Dr Mario), I can't remember which I played first.

Arrgh! It's coming right at me! <Grips desk in fear> It's only a game, kailsar, only a game...

That's the scariest thing on the ZX81, except perhaps typing in a listing with a 16k memory pack attached.

ELITE for the C64 whilst sitting on my Dad's knee, aged around 3 (okay, so I didn't do alot but I'm told I flew the ship a bit).
First one I played alone: ACE for C64. Guess it's worth mentioning I didnt get a better gaming system until 1996 (a Packard-Bell P.C. with Windows '95).

Lemmings

Cross Country Canada on some weird variation of what was either a MacOS or Linux, its too long ago for me to remember.

MichaelH:
Wow I feel old. Some sort of Atari 2600 game whose name has been lost to the mists of time. It had...spaceships?

lol me too. My 2600 had Galaxian, Pitfall, Centipede, f14 tomcat, phoenix... cant remember which I played first tbh, but ahhhh... memories. Might go and set it up again right now.

Super Mario Bros on Christmas Day 1990 I finished it that day (I think, I was 5 and refused to move until I had beaten it) Then I played the marvel that was Duck Hunt and that fucking dog.

Pokemon Blue version on the gameboy color when I was about five years old. The graphics were so bad, I had trouble differentiating between a bulbasaur and a shrub.

Chaos on the Spectrum 48k

I think it was battle toads if you mean first game played on a console. I played with my brother and we both were terrible. It was either that or Bubsy Bobcat, a game which has been lost in the mists of time.

Pong, on some sort of black and white, stand-alone console which dident have a proper control pad as you would think now days, just a single turning section on top of a stick and one button on the handle (think like a mikephone shape basicly).

....

Oh gods I feel old now...

duck hunt.
nice target practice

Duck Hunter for the Super Nintendo. God I loved that game, I must have been about 7 when I got it.

i think my first game was cave man(or something like that) , anyway i used to play it about half a day for a month bbecause it was my first game :-D

My first game I ever played was NHL 01 for the PS1, I played it so many times that it went to crap,New Jersey Devils Kick ASS!!!!

It was either some crappy Pac-man ripoff on an ancient PC (it was supposedly related to Tom Sawyer somehow) or Duck Hunt

duke nukem 3D when i was about 6 lol

Either pong on the old dial-based machine which Wraith mentions or some Zeplin-era game on the C64. I remember Zeplin was the win, along with Jump Man and Forbidden Forest.

Oh and Congo Bongo. All that was when I was about 4, so... mid-to-late 80's?

let's see this is probably going to be one of those proving how old you are moment,

Defender on the commador 64 - The game got a lot easier if you killed all of the people then went after the ufo's, I think I was 4

Wolfenstien 3D for DOS back in '93...

even got one of the limited Apogee releases... only like 100 of them sold.

I think it was 'Head over Heels' on an old Amstrad; can't remember any details, and since the game itself came on two disks with nine other games I'm not sure which was the first game I EVER played.

I'M WRONG!!! Oh it all came back to me in a flash! It was for the super nintendo and it was some ... goofy rip-off. He had a kid (max I think) and they were on an island, and it was sort of like legend of zelda in a way. You would run around and try to get new peices of equipment so you could get to new places. It was two player and my older brother wanted help so he sort of forced me to play. It had a grappling hook and a shovel and stuff and I always used the grappling hook. It was kind of like a puzzle game.

I loved that game! I haven't thought about it in years! Thanks for reminding me.

FF7 on the ps1...

some anonymous Japanese upscroller where the planes shoot lightning and horrendously large lazer beams at other planes when they're not shooting at 'boss' planes roughly the size of football arenas. joystick + 2 buttons (1=machine gun, 2=ridiculous super power). I think it was called "Raiden-" something.

Three way answer-

Arcade- Galaga or PacMan, I honestly don't remember but it must have been.

PC- Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? On my dad's pre-286 HP "laptop"... it weighed like 45 pounds

Console- Pitfall on Atari 2600. FTW Pitfall Harry! FTW!

The very first game I ever touched was probably Mummy's Tomb on C64. This was preschool years maybe?

for me it was Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES

Donkey kong 64, or ecco. Im not sure which i played first

Jet Set Willy! That was round a friends.
Soon got a NES and plugged in Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles before Super Mario Brothers.

The first game I ever played was Kirby's Adventure for the NES.

Oddworld: Abes Odysee. still my favorite game of all time

Contra when I was 5 on the NES with no konami code.

age of mythology and Knights of the old republic
