My first video game was when I was about 4 or 5 years old, it was the original Sonic the Hedgehog on my dad’s Mega Drive (or Genesis if you’re outside the UK lol).
I still have the game and the Mega Drive console. It doesn’t feel the same unless I’m playing it on the original system, emulators etc just don’t do it for me :’)
Probably Super Mario Brothers for the NES. My brother had that system growing up. He also had a Sega and I remember sneaking up to his room to play Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on weekends while he was sleeping in.
My oldest memory is of playing Pokemon Sapphire, but I don't think it was my first. Might have been some licensed TV show game (like Lizzie McGuire.. anyone remember that?) or a Petz game on GBA.
The earliest memory I have of playing games is Creature Create on the Leappad...? The first "real" game I remember playing is Super Smash Bros Brawl. The first game I owned all to myself was Yoshi's Island for the GBA!
I don't have the best memory but one of the first games I remembered playing is Pokemon Red for GameBoy (Color)!
I was, and still am, a huge Nintendo fan so some of the other older games I've played include Duck Hunt, Super Mario World, Harvest Moon 2, Donkey Kong 64, Super Smash Bros., Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and so on.
But I've mentioned Pokemon Red specifically cause I had the most fun with it when I was young ^^
probably, and this is me guessing, TLOZ Oracle of Ages or Seasons. I remember how my dad implored me to please NOT save over his super ancient save file, because I was a little gremlin and he never got around to finish it. I never did, but I never got far on my own savefile either. If I had to guess what the first game on a console I owned myself was, probably the original Nintendogs closely followed by Harvest Moon DS. The joys of not yet being able to read and playing games sure was fun if you had to run to your - currently busy - mom every five minutes so she could read you what kind of present your virtual dog just picked up.
I'm drawing a blank. I can't remember if it was on the Nintendo 64 or if the GameCube was the first system I played on. I want to pick the Nintendo 64 because we had it longer but I was young and we got a GameCube around when I was 6 so it might have been that one has it was a newer console. If the 64 then it would have been Pokemon Stadium and if it was the GameCube it was Animal Crossing.
