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

Mario/duck hunt for NES

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.

Legend of Zelda back in 1989

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].

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.

OG NES Duck Hunt.

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

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

It might be Jak & Dexter: TPL.

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'!

Crash Bandicoot Warped for me.

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

Combat on the Atari 2600.

Sonic the Hedgehog on Mega Drive (Genesis).

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).

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

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

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

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 :)

Pong

NES Batman

Tetris on the OG Gameboy

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

On PC though, Little Big Adventure 2.

Probably The Incredible Machine (aka TIM)

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

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

Pong

Pong on the Atari 2600.

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

Toejam and Earl on the Sega Genesis

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

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.

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

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 ;)

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

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

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

Mattel Electronic Football

Pajama Sam: There's no need to hide when it's dark outside

The original Prince of Persia, in DOS.

Played the shit out of that game. I could probably draw maps of every level from memory.

Pac-Man on the Atari 2600. I understand the complaints about that port, but I'll always have a soft spot for it for getting me into the hobby way back when.

Mine was a point-click quest written in visual basic that taught Russian alphabet. I was 2-3 years old, playing while sitting on my father's lap. Apparently this created some core memories since once I was 15-17 I found it and still remembered every dialogue word-to-word

For me it must’ve been either one of the Commander Keen games or the original Prince of Persia back in the early 90s. Still damn good games.
