Games

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.

Pong n a DEC PDP 11.

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.

On my dad´s 386 PC: Prince of Persia, Dune II, Doom

On my Amiga 500: Turrican I + II, Street Fighter II, Lemmings I + II

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.

Mario/duck hunt for NES

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].

Legend of Zelda back in 1989

Total annihilation on pc. That game was dope when I was a young teen.

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.

I'm pretty sure it was Paperboy on one of those Tiger Handhelds. Looking them up now brings back memories.

It might be Jak & Dexter: TPL.

OG NES Duck Hunt.

Sonic the Hedgehog on Mega Drive (Genesis).

I had a Commodore 64. I played Ultima 3 and Archon (wizard's chest) as my first games I really liked.

Got a NES with Mario and Gradius as a Christmas present. Opened the present with Gradius first and had no clue what it was but that would be the first game I ever played. Then running into the goomba in Mario like everyone did :)

Combat on the Atari 2600.

Pong

NES Batman

Tetris on the OG Gameboy

PONG in the late 70s, at a pizza parlor.

First PC game? Math Blaster on a Macintosh 128K

First console game? Super Mario Bros.

First Board Game? Parcheesi/Monopoly

Also was included in my parents D&D group once I was 5 or 6

The original Super Mario Bros on the NES, purchased for me by my grandmother.

Crash Bandicoot Warped for me.

The Warp Room soundtrack is still stuck in my head twenty years later.

Pong

I have very fond memories of playing Freddie Fish in our local library while my father thought I was going to children's choir stuff (I hated it and was hanging out in the library instead, just to be back in time, when my father came to pick me up again).

Probably The Incredible Machine (aka TIM)

Jazz JackRabbit on MS-DOS on my dad's computer.

Prob some racing game on Commodore 64. Or Mario on NES. It's hard to remember.

On PC though, Little Big Adventure 2.

Lego Star Wars on a PS2 at a friend's place.

Console would have to be the Mario/duck hunt/track and field combo. Pc would be either dos MegaMan or kurstys fun house.

Mattel Electronic Football

Spyro 3. It was a great introduction into the world of video games, and I still play it regularly

Pokemon Yellow. I wasn't able to read very well but I still managed to beat it.

I have only the vaguest memory of something on what I think was the Atari, but I'm not even sure if we ever actually owned that console. I think the first game I actually remember playing was Super Mario Bros, on the cartridge that also had Duck Hunt.

Pong on the Atari 2600.

Toejam and Earl on the Sega Genesis

Jump Man, Space Taxi, and Ghostbusters on Commodore 64. I was using that version of the Ghostbusters song as my ringtone for years, back when I got phone calls ;)

Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES. I was five and at grandma's house.

Original pong, at the Toronto international boat Show, probably in about 1977.

Pole position on the commodore 64.

most likely Peek-a-Boo, or outside either Tag or Hide and Seek, if not something like Mouse Trap or Candy Land for board games

If you're asking about video games, Pong on some sort of Realistic/Tandy console system in the late 70s when I would go to work with my father at Radio Shack (back when it was legit) and he would put me in front of the black&white.

Mr Do on the colico vision. There was another game we had Carnival. Good (simpler) times.

Manic Miner for the ZX Spectrum.

It was shit. And I don't have to tell you why. Just look it up, sound on, that bit is mandatory.

My first ever gamer was a disappointment lmao. I did get super into the Megadrive and everything was fixed. But man.

My earliest would probably be Space Invaders on the Atari 400.

But I also did a lot of PC gaming around that time - Alley Cat, Paratrooper, Prince of Persia, Dangerous Dave, GORILLA.BAS, NIBBLES.BAS - these were some of the earliest DOS games I played and still remember them fondly.

When we got a NES later on, spent a lot of time on Duck Hunt. And Super Mario of course, but don't think I ever managed to get past level 3. Still had fun though.
