This is so hard to answer because it was a million years ago. I'd die to know what was the first game I played!...we'll never know the answer to that ?
I had a "famiclone" pretty early, so it was most likely Super Mario Bros. (this one..)

I also have vivid memories of playing these titles:

• Adventure Island 1 and 2
• Elevator Action
• Road Fighter
• City Connection
• Super Mario Bros. 3
• Monster in My Pocket
• Dick Tracy
• Mappy
• Formula 1 Sensation

My niece on the other hand I can tell you exactly what was the first game she played.
She was born in 2020, at...

Alex Kidd in Miracle World, the one that was built into the Sega Master System 2 console.

My mum was mad over this game, played it constantly. Then I played the heck out of it when I was old enough.
Glad to see it has been given the remaster treatment, while still offering the original experience.

 

[ciro64]

Either Mario 64 or Banjo Kazooie

Closed due to being a duplicated thread.

Don't worry, we all make mistakes!

For me, it was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
I played it for the first time when I was eight years old on my family's ps2 With my older brother, back when we didn't have internet.
I didn't know English at the time, so I didn't know what the story was and I couldn't read English.
But I always had a lot of fun just messing around, killing civilians, stealing cars and driving around the city, and writing down cheat codes on a piece of paper to mess around even more.
No matter how much time passes, this absolute masterpiece will always have a special place in my heart.

The first game I can remember playing was Sonic Chaos on my dad's Game Gear when I was... 3 or 4 years old, I think.

Of course, I wasn't good at it, and I didn't really know what I was doing, but it was a start.

 

[slyfox92]

Mine was Alex Kidd in Miracle World on Sega Master System. (It was built into the console)

My mum and uncle were mad over this game, then when I was old enough I played the heck out of it.

Glad to see it has received the remaster treatment, while maintaining the original experience as well.

Super Mario 64. That was definitely the first 3D game I ever played. For 2D games? Pacman or Mario 1.

 

[prnzoDraGoonZweiOrta]

first games I remember playing - Pac-Man. Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede. Moon Patrol. Defender. Mr. Do!, Elevator Action, Q*Bert, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, OG-non-super Mario Bros. (all from arcade cabinets)... at home? Parsec, Hunt the Wumpus, Jawbreaker, Jumpman Jr. , A-Maze-Ing, T-I Invaders (on TI-994A)... Spider-Man, Popeye, Adventure, AD&D: Treasure of Tarmin, Pitfall, Congo Bongo, Jungle Hunt.... this could go on a while but y'aLL get the point hehe.

[Abecero]

If I remember correctly, the very first game I've ever played was F1 Race for the original Gameboy brick, a hands-me-down from my big bro, along with some other games, but I specifically remember that one being my very first game ever.

When I had my own first console, the PS1, I remember the first game I've ever played for it was Bugs Bunny: Lost in time, lol.

 

[Bakuma1997]

I still keep the Famiclone Cartridge that held that awesome debut into this hobby, both in my shelf as in my heart

 

[prnzoDraGoonZweiOrta]

M a p p y!! <3 now let's see some City Connection or OG (The) Goonies! ^_^ or Flicky for the GenMD lol

 

[PrismRed]

Rampage World Tour on PS1, I primarily only watched my uncle and cousin play before, but this is the very first game where I took hold of the controller.

 

[Снегопад]

My mother had to be a sadist, as she let a three-year-old with little-to-no prior knowledge of video games play this. She had finished it already, so she knew exactly what she was doing.

 

[Zerpina]

I Dunno if it really count's as a Videogame per-say, but i Vaguely recall being about 5ish? my uncle had came over. and had one of these type games. i Don't remember now what it was called, but it looked like this as much as i can Remember. But if we mean on a TV, then Probably Asteroids or Centipede

I find it a travesty that Ryu Hayabusa n Joe Musashi never teamed up in some crossover ninja game of some genre. I guess they would have to invite Naruto in it too to sell some copies xD

I am ancient enough to vaguely remember this

 

[OkinawanMagick]

We didn't know no Mario in our household, only Charlie the Duck.

 

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

one of these 2, my dad took computers from his job and gave them too me after sometime he gave me these cd's he found. i remember that he did gave me a snes later

 

[Deean]

It's either Adventure Island 2 or Road Fighter, played on a famiclone(i think it's VCom or something)

 

[Yukyon]

It was probably an arcade game like kof 98 because I kind of remember going to the arcades before I got my first console...
If not, probably Ocarina of Time or Gauntlet Legends on the n64

 

[IyoTheHelpfulWolf]

I don't know. I've been playing games since I was able to push buttons. My first console was a hand-me-down Nintendo 64. Probably the games I played most on it were Super Mario 64, Cruisn Exotica, Goldeneye, and Tonic Trouble. I sucked massive amounts of ass at all of them.
