Title says it all, what was the first game you remember playing and had fond memories of?
For me it was the PS1, and hearing the OG Crash Bandicoot theme song never gets old for me, got it as my ringtone too!
Jumping Flash (ps1) was my first ever game. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_Flash!
It was pretty hard as a 5 year old.
Pole position on the commodore 64.
Wizard of Wor on C=64
we had quite a few carts so it might not have been first but it certainly was the most played
Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and I replayed a couple levels as recently as a few weeks ago. It has been a great game the whole time.
Sonic 1 on my newly acquired Mega Drive at Christmas when I was 5. Died to that first ladybug repeatedly for months on end but never gave up!
Sheesh. That’s a tough one. My memory is trash from TBIs… Maybe pong, or space invaders? I think it would be something that was in an arcade. Our first console was the NES with SMB, but we definitely played in arcades before that.
For me it must’ve been either one of the Commander Keen games or the original Prince of Persia back in the early 90s. Still damn good games.
Pong n a DEC PDP 11.
Pong for me too but on a Sears Sports Center pong console:
DEC PDP 11
Everyone else posting about Atari 2600, C-64, and NES. I think you may also win the thread on the only still supported platform with PDP 11 support extended to the year 2050.
Same here. I really am ancient,lol. I’d thought it might have been a Magnavox console,but they were sears diehards(no pun intended) back then. Makes sense. Even had the giant cylinder paddles with it,but no gun.
most likely Peek-a-Boo, or outside either Tag or Hide and Seek, if not something like Mouse Trap or Candy Land for board games
If you’re asking about video games, Pong on some sort of Realistic/Tandy console system in the late 70s when I would go to work with my father at Radio Shack (back when it was legit) and he would put me in front of the black&white.
Combat on the Atari 2600. There are games I remember better, but I do know that was my favorite… just no one would play it with me.
Various demos on PS1 demo discs
Super Mario Bros on the NES. I remember getting super frustrated and throwing a tantrum because I couldn’t figure out how to jump over the second hole. Hahahaha man I was pathetic.
That first goomba killed me three times in a row. Took a little bit to figure out the jump timing.
Hell yeah. I played duck hunt first, because my dumb ass didn’t understand a controller but cold BANG BANG at that fucking dog.
Then I discovered Mario.
Third was Dig Dug. I hate Dig Dug.
Rainbow Island was my shit.
Mattel Electronic Football
It was a racing game I can’t remember the name of on our first computer, a TI-99.
Pong on the Atari 2600.
