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.

    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.

    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.

    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].

    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’!

    My family got Duck Hunt, Track & Field, and Mario as a package, though I sure remember a LOT of Centipede time.

    First PC game I remember was Super Solvers

    Or the Apple IIe Glider game was a real fun way to waste some classroom time, barring Oregon Trail.

      Oh man, my family loved Super Solvers Midnight Rescue! I vividly remember playing that with my older siblings, but our monitor was green and black, no color, so I’d never actually seen it before in color. But the music stuck with me and probably sparked my love for In the Hall of The Mountain King.

      Also had Ernie’s magic shapes and colors… which was pretty hard to do when everything is green. What were my parents thinking buying a color matching game without a color monitor?

      Store near me had 30+ copies of Combat for 1USD each. I regret not buying them all, but I was an EXTREMELY broke teen.
