What was your first video game that you can remember?
-
Can't really remember my first, but I know the first one I actually owned was The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for Gameboy. The first game I played may have been some SNES games at my cousin's house (Link to the Past, Yoshi's Island, and Kirby Super Star come to mind)...
-
i remember playing games like galiga or pac man and hateing donkey kong at the arcade
but my first game was super mario brothers for nes I still love that game.
-
sonic on the sega genesis
-
Asteroids :D
-
Yep, Asteroids.
-
First one I ever played was Donkey Kong. First one I ever owned was the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt combo.
-
Don't remember the first I played, I think it was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament on NES or something. And by playing I mean, I saw my brother was having problem fighting the last boss, so I thought "hey, I'll play as the last boss and let him beat me" and pressed start. I arrived as a "new challenger", of course, and he had to restart the whole tournament. I must have been 3 or 4 years old.
First I owned was Mario/Duck Hunt, along with some hockey game, Defender II and some shitty ninja game where you fight against some huge one-eye monster. Still can't find it to this day.
-
I cannot remember. It was on Colecovision. You played as a dragon, you flew around and shot fireballs.
Best game ever!

I have a vague recollection of many "first games" but I can summarize them:
Superman for the Atari 2600. It was awful and didn't make any sense. If you'd like to see it, watch the AVGN review of it:

The first game I really remember playing was Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt and the first game I remember renting was Superman for the NES which is also on the AVGN review.
Finally, the first game I was obsessed with was Mike Tyson's Punch Out! To this day, it is still one of my all-time favorite games.
-
I still play it during tutorials in school.
-
Mario 3
-
Mario/Duck Hunt for me as well. Played Mario for hours, just trying to beat it. That shit was tight.

I remember when I figured out that I could run faster by holding B. I felt like a fucking bad ass because I figured it out before my little brothers.
And then when I was able to skip across the tiny gaps between platforms by running faster I was a god!

Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt was one of the first for me as well. I will be forever indebted to my uncle for explaining how to beat World 4-4, the first looping castle stage, because I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. My experiences playing Mario as a child remain with me today; even now, playing on the Wii virtual console, my girlfriend seems to think that I have the entire game memorized. Unfortunately, although I've made it to the last stage, I have yet to save the princess. :-( I try to soothe my wounded ego by reminding myself that I beat The Lost Levels in Super Mario All Stars, but it just isn't the same.
I also used to play quite a few games of Mrs. Pac Man on an old arcade machine that used to be in the waiting room at my pediatrician's office. I was never very good at Pac Man, though. After three or four stages, Inky, Pinky, Blinky, and whatsis-face usually managed to gang rape me.

Mario/duck hunt was my first owend game, but the game I loved to play and watch played was, the first Final Fantasy, god that game was/is still hard, but so good!
-
Just like all the other 80s kids in this thread: Mario/Duck Hunt. Gotta stick to the classics.

Oh man... do I have to say it?
Pong.
There, I said it. Now I feel all old and shit.

That's kinda funny, I feel like I'm oddly at the other end of the spectrum, jumping in in the mid-90s...

Back in my day, we didn't get given points, we took'em!
Does it make it better if I was only a kid when I had pong? I'm younger than Dennis... (I'll give a point to whomever gets that reference)

Autodue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoduel)l on the Apple II.
My dad and I had a contest to see who could beat it first. I was well in the lead, but found out that the enemies had suddenly gotten insanely hard. My dad had reprogrammed the game, so I had to learn how to code in BASIC out of self-defense. (I was six.) This is probably also the reason why that I hated computer programming when I got to high school and so didn't want to do it.

Haha, good story (I can see myself doing something like that if I ever have a kid though)...
