    Mine was from the early pc´s a game called King´s Quest from Sierra.

    That was a historical moment and the game was awesome!!!!

    We had that game too!!! Actually on our Macintosh (wow, how long was that?!?!). I can't remember which King's Quest it was...you were this boy who lived with a wizard on top of a mountain. Besides sweeping the floors and emptying the chamber pot, you had to snoop around the house to find a way to escape. It was kinda scary at the time because the wizard would disappear for a little while on "quests" and just when you were snooping around he'd appear in a poof of smoke. If you got got, he'd turn you into a rat or something.

    Overall, it was a HARD game. We never got very far...I think I had to cheat on the game to actually escapte that house

I remember spending hours trying to find warp pipes, and trying to find hints in magazines (hard to imagine it being difficult finding cheats now with the internet). I also remember being about 4 or 5 years old and putting the light gun right up against my tv screen to make sure i never missed a duck in Duck Hunt.


      Does anyone remember "Gyromite"? It came with the original NES along with the robot (forgot his name) that supposedly played against you in the game. You sat him in front of your computer and put a controller in his "hands". You played a "Mario" looking character and had to walk to through the levels, gather turnips (to feed and distract the birds?), and avoid getting squashed by the pillars that went up and down.

        My older brother got that game and the robot a few years back, it's name was ROB. I don't remember ever being able to put the controller into the robots hands, though you had to have the robot spin these gyros, and place them on these two stands that would in turn press either the A or B button on the second controller. pressing down A and B would move pillars up or down, so you had to get it right and move throught the level quickly before the gyros lost their spin.

        That game frustrated the hell out of me.

          Dude, my first game was Pong on the Oddessey 300. It had several other games built in (no cartridges), but they required screen overlays that we didn't have. Still, I remember sitting in front of the TV with my brother twisting those little control knobs (no controllers or joysticks either). The first 'real' game I remember being into was Qix, though.

            Oh christ, now that brings back memories, when I got the SNES and my mum got her Sega (i know.), my dad got his old Atari and the like out of the attic, he was oneo f the original game buffs but after the 30 minute modem-esque loading screens disappered he kind of lost interest.

                ^Ditto on that.

                Although I never could beat it back then. Damn you hammer brothers, damn you all to hell!

                The first game I actually beat was Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.

                  ^Mario Land 2 is probably one of my all time favorites, but definitely not my first.

                  I actually can't remember what my first was. I'm guessing it was either Super Mario Bros. at my mom's cousin's house, Sonic the Hedgehog at my uncle's, or Tetris for the GB at the summer day care. I do remember that the first I ever owned were Tetris and The Incredible Crash Dummies for GB.

                    The first game I ever played was Cosmic Cruncher for the Commodore VIC-20. It was a pretty obvious Pac Man ripoff, but still tons of fun. I can still remember the theme "song".

                    Atari 2600 - Adventure

                    Arcade - Exciting Hour Wrestling

                    Commodore 64 - Impossible Mission

                    IBM PC - Police Quest

                    Commodore Amiga - Death Sword

                    Sega Genesis - Altered Beast

                    Super Nintendo - Final Fantasy 4

                    I pretty much quit the console scene after the SNES and the Genesis became obsolete and started focusing more on PC gaming at that point.

                              My first video game console was Atari 2600. I think Asteroids came with the system when I got it...but I'm not sure.

                              Next came Atari 5200, with Pac-Man.

                              I didn't get another system until 1995; that new system was Sega Genesis with Sonic 2.

                              Several years ago, I started playing with a Nintendo Game Boy. I've since then upgraded to Game Boy Advance. I've also inherited a Sony PlayStation...from my thirteen-year-old nephew! I've picked a lot of games for that since then.


                              :)

                                      The TI 99/4a home computer system. That's what it was called. the TI stands for Texas Instruments.


                                      Awesome! I had the TI 99 as well, and played Hunt the Wumpus when I was 2 years old :P And my parents wonder why I have an addiction to video games :P

                                        Good topic. I can't recall what game it was for sure. I started in the arcades, but my first console to own was the ColecoVision with an Atari 2600 adapter. The very first games I remember playing were [u]Pac-Man[/u], [u]Pong[/u], [u]Donkey Kong[/u], and [u]Frogger[/u]. I'm nearly 27 years old, I go back a ways as far as video games are concerned.

                                          I think the first videogame I ever played was SMB1, but it was in an arcade at Chuck E. Cheese up in Northern California (that Chuck E. Cheese closed down a long time ago but strangely enough, a few years ago another one opened up a few blocks from the original location). At the time, I didn't understand neither how to jump on top of Goombas to kill them nor how to jump over pits so I don't die.

                                          I got my NES during the summer of 1990 and it came with SMB/DH, Iron Tank and a jacked-up copy of R.C. Pro-Am.
