What was the first video game you ever played?

What was the first video game you ever played? The first one I ever played was Yoshi's Island, but the first one I beat was Super Mario 64.

I think it was the first Tekken on the PS 1 or some other very early titles for the thing. My memory is a little hazy on the matter but I do remember enjoying it a lot though. As for what age I was, I got nothing.

Burger Time on an Atari 2600. Suddenly feeling old here.

Not counting educational videogames... Probably the very first Crash Bandicoot. Man, the memories.

Final Fantasy X-2.

I was 8 years old, knew almost no english and I still managed to get to the end.

I think mine was Jurassic Park for the Sega. That or Super Mario Bros.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I was maybe eight or nine years old. My friends were obsessed with it, but I didn't see the appeal... until one day they convinced me to play it. They all have lives and girlfriends and stuff now, and me... well, here I am :P

Super Mario World + Super Mario All Stars.

Can't remember if it was Street Fighter II or Mario 64.

But it was one of those.

Not counting Edutainment Games, mine was Tyrian. After those two were Bug! and Mega Man X3

The first one I saw but did not play (as I was still a 3 year old kid) was Raiden. And it's a good thing that I didn't at the time.

Either some educational game or other, or Doom. No, my parents did not get me Doom as a kid; it was at a family friend's house.

Minesweeper and that arcade game with the colored spheres whose name escapes me ATM. The first console game I played was Donkey Kong 64.

Super Mario All-Stars, I think.

Star Fox 64

It was either the old Atari 2600 games with the tanks and planes or some edutainment thing on the school computers I would fix for the other students. I'm real old school. First one I remember playing for each system was Terminator 2 for the NES, Super Mario World on the SNES, 5 in 1 on the Game Boy, Golden Eye on the Nintendo64, Apache on my first computer, a demo disc with F1 Actua Golf Tekken Battle Arena Toshiden Die Hard ect on the Play Station, Grand Theft Auto 3 on the PS 2, Resident Evil remake on the Game Cube, NBA 2 K 5 on the XBOX and Smackdown Vs Raw 2007 on the 360.

Well, we had an NES and a Super Nintendo when I was a kid, though both of those came out before I was born. I loved Donkey Kong Country on there. We also had the original Game Boy. So I remember playing the early Super Mario games on the it. I really loved Super Mario World for the SNES too. Yoshi's Island was even better. I also remember later playing the original Pokemon Red and Blue, and Yellow after that. And then Gold and Silver...I liked Sonic on the Sega console too.

That PS 1 Spider-Man game from 2000.

The earliest game I remember playing is a relative's Pac Man machine. He also had a Genesis, and I used to play Sonic 2.

I think it was the "boxes" game on Windows 95, followed by a pinball game.

Super Mario Bros. 1, I think. It might've been that Tank game on the old DOS windows or whatever, though.

Most likely Macadam Bumper or Jet Set Willy on Amstrad CPC.

Sonic the Hedgehog

Alex Kidd in Miracle World, on the Sega Master System.

Not counting edutainment games because I can't remember which I played first, Pokemon Red.

Well, I can't remember what I played first, but I think the first video game I've ever owned was Yu-Gi-Oh: The Sacred Cards for the GBA, which I got for my 8th birthday.

Man, I've always wished that it could have been something cooler, like Pac-man or Pokemon or the original Kingdom Hearts
