Rev7 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 It was actually pong for the Atari. My friend had one and we played all the time. Yes, I'm old. You will never be old. You are PRIME! -- Hmm, my first video game played ever. Probably Super Mario Brothers on the N64. Years later, my older brother gave me his PS1, and played a whole bunch of games on that. Jedi Power Battles, Driver, Bowling, ect. Very fun. Then the PS2 came out, and we got it for Christmas one year. Even more fun, with better graphics too. Eventually I bought myself a GameCube, which was a waste of money & I need to sell it soon, and for my birthday one year I got an Xbox. Had that since. Hopefully I will get an Xbox 360 soon. The story of my gaming life. :/

I have played it at a couple of friends houses, and they keep telling me to get one. One day I will get one. It is nearly inevitable...
swphreak Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 If you wanna be technical, it was one of those mini Pac-Man handhelds from like the late 80s/early 90s. It was like a mini pac-man cabinet. Can't remember a whole lot about it. I was pretty young and it was my cousin's. The first game I really played would be the Mario Bros/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet combo cartridge for the NES.
Litofsky Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I think that my first game was either Mario or Tetris. My, how the times have changed.
igyman Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Now, this is a tough one. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it was either The Lost Vikings, or Wolfenstein 3D.
Lantzen Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Have played videogames as long as i remember, and really have no idea what the first i played was. But the first PC title i have clear memorys of that i played when i was very young was Wolfenstein 3D, but i know i had played other games before that
HigherPower Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 First game I ever played was at my baby sitter's about thirteen years ago. I could've played Mario, I could've played Sonic but no... I played Super Metroid.
tk102 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 History! http://www.pong-story.com/intro.htm My first game was of course Pong (called "Tennis", "Hockey", and "Squash" but really just pong variants), and it was played at a friends' house who had a bright yellow Magnavox Odyssey 300 system. We Pong players are the real hard-core gamers. Dig.
mimartin Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 a bright yellow Magnavox Odyssey 300 system. I had one of those until my stepbrother broke it. Then we had a pong/sheet shooting game system. However my favorite early game was: Excellent graphics on that 9 inch screen capable of showing black or white only. Visually stunning. I remember MS Flight Sim having just the outline of buildings, the ground and other planes and still it took every bit of computing power my little IBM could produce. I think the office coffeemaker today has more computing power than that PC had, I know my cell phone does.
tk102 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 ^ You earn one Magic Atari 2600 Adventure Dot for that, mimartin.
Totenkopf Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I had one of those until my stepbrother broke it... *pic snip* Used to have one of those a long time ago too. Forgot about it till I saw your pic. Really had a way of focusing one's attention...
Arátoeldar Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I remember getting this game for Christmas of 77. IT was easy to beat once you knew the secret.
TKA-001 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 The first game I played with any seriousness (odd word to use, I know) was the Space Invaders remake for the Playstation 1. It took me and my brother years to discover the extra levels.
RedHawke Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Dig. I remember when people actually dressed like that too! Now how many of you all have a working Pong system still?
mimartin Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Now how many of you all have a working Pong system still? Darn you RedHawke, that sounds like a challenge. I’m going to have to go to my parents house and go through a old cedar chest filled with all my childhood heirlooms. I don’t imagine it will be working, but perhaps I can find my Pete Rose rookie card if I didn’t use it as a bicycle engine. At least I know I’ll find action figures of Steve Austin, Evel Knievel, GI Joe (from when he was 12 inches tall and had the knug fu grip) and a bunch of damn dirty apes. My mother will love you, she has been trying to get me to clean the cedar chest out for twenty years.
Point Man Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 My first video game was Pong at the arcade. I remember playing it while the Beatles' Got To Get You Into My Life was playing on the radio. Who here has played a pinball machine that took dimes? We had one in the little country grocery store my parents owned. It turned over at 100,000.
TriggerGod Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I'm not sure... I didn't really have games until I was about 6 (aka 2000) and I got a Playstation 1. I got the 2 Megaman Legends. Last year, I finally got off my lazy a** and completed both
Boba Rhett Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I still have a working pong system. Granted, I wasn't playing it when it actually came out, but still, working pong.
TheExile Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Sooper Mario on PS1... My first PC game however was Medal of Honor: Allied Assault...
StormSinger Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Pong. Even ended up making my own pong game and a lightgun game from plans in a popular electronics mag around that time (highschool). Played them on a little B&W Sony portable I had... visions of things to come.
Da_man Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 My First game was either Sonic Adventure or NBA basketball on the Dreamcast. Sonic adventure was so fun, bu the sequel sucked.
Darth_Yuthura Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I'm a dinosaur, even at my age. I've seen the days that preceeded Super Mario Brothers. My first games were pacman for the game council. For the computer, it was Grandma's House... of course it wasn't really a game. The computer needed a floppy to boot up!
JCarter426 Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Eh, first would be Donkey Kong or Pacman, but if we're talking more modern stuff, JK1.
