What was the first video game you played?

[Weiss Schnee]

LoZ: Links Awakening for Gameboy. I was a baby tho so I only remember the music. I never figured out how to get out of the woods.

 

[Seastar]

I'm pretty sure it was this! Most of the games from my childhood were actually CD-ROMs!
Also, I still have it...

 

[Pinkshade]

I know there was games before this but the first game I actually remember playing was Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games for some reason. Specifically destroying Shadow the hedgehog in table tennis.

 

[Mayor Ng]

I'm not sure which one came first but it was between Harvest Moon: Back to Nature on Playstation 1 or Roller Coaster Tycoon by Atari on PC

 

[neffblake]

Oh, I remember so far my first game which was Dota2. I remember that my parents were very against internet games but once I went to a friend's house and still tried. At first, I was afraid to play Dota2 at home so my parents wouldn't see me, so I always went to my friends' house and played there. After a while, I started playing at home, but my parents were shouting at me and I don't understand why they were so strict.
By the way, if someone is playing Dota2 now and you want it to be a fast MMR boost I used to make my account better. You can try it.

I believe it was my brother's old copy of Pokemon Leaf Green. I remember being stuck on the fight vs Gary on the bridge near the beginning, and grinding on low level rattatas in the nearby grass patch for like 30+ hours so I could get an ivysaur. I dont believe I ever actually beat that battle either haha, but I would really love to play it through fully sometime on an emulator (since I lost the cartridge :V).

 

[Xeleron]

Pretty sure it was either StarFox: Assault, Mario Kart or Smash Bros. Melee, all for the GameCube

 

[Stephanie92]

I played Pokemon way, way back. I also played Golden Sun (I loooved this) and Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.

I would honestly love it if they decided to remake the Golden Sun games I think it could be amazing (but then, I played it as a kid so I could be wrong) !

And I know that they've remade Friends of Mineral town so I'll probably play that but it looks very different so I'm not sure how I feel.

I’m going with a technicality because this story is funny. I first played Super Mario Bros 3 on the GBA waaaaay long ago. I always watched my siblings playing on that system, and I wanted a go at it. So, I get to the first level, take a few steps...and panic because I didn’t want to die. To the first GOOMBA. So I stopped playing games (still loved watching tho) until we got the Wii. Needless to say I’m not as timid anymore.

 

[ReanimatedSorceress]

Technically it was Duck Hunt for the NES but the first game I owned personally was Spyro the Dragon

 

[InstantNoodles]

I think it's a weird Sonic PC game where it was a bit open-world and you could breed Chao (?), as well as a My Little Pony PC game lol

 

[Uffe]

Super Mario Bros. for the NES.

 

[Cosmic_Crossfade]

Ahh, I was about 5 or 6 when my dad introduced me to Castlevania on our NES. I still remember playing as Bellmont with the whip. Then it was Duckhunt with Mario Bros. Goodness...so long ago!

 

[Vitis]

The 1986 Legend of Zelda was 2 years old when I started playing video games.

 

[Larsi]

Just with pacman when I was a few years old. On this machine:

Not much later I had my own gameboy with Super Mario Land and Donkey Kong. Think that was in 1992 when I was 4 years old haha.

 

[Irelia]

Pokemon Diamond. I still remember the exact moment I saw it.
I didn't even own a DS lite. I saw it in stores when I was shopping with my mom... I think I was like 8? I saw the sparkles on the case and thought Diagla looked so beautiful so I begged her to buy it. So we bought the game, and the clerk told us we needed to buy the system too. So a DS lite was my first game system as well.

I remember watching the entire intro it was all so magical to me. What I would give to go back and experience it all for the first time again.

 

[frogslime]

Either New Super Mario Bros. for the DS, Mii Maker on the Wii, or Wii Sports (Resort?).
Or maybe that one Disney Princess game, or that PotC LEGO game... the issue is that I was introduced to video games when I was quite young...

 

[virtualpet]

[ Eleanor ]

we got both Pokemon Emerald and Pokemon Pinball :3

 

[Bcat]

Does reader rabbit on CD count? My parents have home movies of me playing that on the computer at two years old.

 

[MiraculousGiraffe]

I think it's Super Mario Bros on my Game Boy Advanced. I could never get past world 2 lol
