Although I must have been playing games since I was born, the first I can remember playing is NHL '94 for the Genesis. Amazing game. Among the first few I've played are the Genesis Sonics, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Road Rash, and Pokemon Blue.
Let's see... I vaguely remember playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Genesis) at my uncle's house when I was like 2 or something. Super Mario 64 was the first game I owned, though -- at age 4, I believe...
I got Pokemon Yellow, Pac Man, and a Gameboy Color for Christmas when I was 8. That was my first excursion into video gaming, and Pokemon Yellow still holds a place in my heart as my first (and one of my favorite) video game.
[quote="Shadow_]Gengar: I was hooked on gaming from almost the moment I started, and I think TwilightKing influenced me a bit. Koehler, why did you start so late?[/quote]Nobody in my family was a gamer so I just never got into that kind of stuff until my parents bought me and my brother a GCN one day. I was hooked from then on.
Haha wow this brings back some memory's... I would have to say the first game I ever played was Hardball 95 for the PC... dang I can't believe I remember that! 2nd game was Mario Kart for the NES.
Same here, my Dad got an SNES when they were practically brand-new for my family, of course, the SNES would come to be known as mine in little-to-no-time
The first game i ever played was Pokemon Blue Version. There was this kid at the airport playing one, and I asked if i could try, and he let me play it for the next hour xD
The first game i owned was Pokemon Gold Version...good times....good times....
