I remember I had an NES in my room when I was two or three. It was hooked up to a small monitor, and I'd play Excite Bike on it all the time. Later on, I had both a Genesis and a SNES in the living room.

Star Control 1 and Brick It on the Atari. :< Shit was old and ugly back then lol. The computer monitor only had like 3 colors. Black, Green, and a sickly Orange.

adorable picture T_T

My first time was probably when I was 6 or so; my (younger) sister had been going to piano lessons for a while, and I think I had started wanting to play piano as well by then, so we ended up having the same teacher. During my sister's lesson I'd get pretty bored, and the teacher's kids happened to have an NES + the original Super Mario sitting around in the house.

I was hooked as soon as I stomped my first Goomba. I remember later on begging my dad for an SNES, and my grades (even then!) going downhill from there.

Mouse Trap on an computer so ancient I don't even know what it was. You played a farmer trying to trap the mice in his barn, and the graphics were basically a black background and walls made of green lines (along with basic models for the farmer and the mice). The walls turned in different directions depending on which side you pushed from, and the goal was to surround each mouse so it couldn't move at all. I loved it.

My first was Wolfenstein 3-D, man it was so fun killing nazis when I was 7 years old. And you just go up to walls and sometimes when you press spacebar the walls expands out and you get a bunch of secret goodies :D I also remember when you pick up the gattling gun, the picture of your character's face on the bottom panel gets a huge smile.

Don't remember which exactly was the first, but I think it was either Giana Sisters, Bubble Bobble or Maniac Mansion on the C64.

I remember Maniac Mansion driving me crazy because it was too hard, I never finished it

the first video game i ever played was sonic the hedgehog on the master system ii.

i was still waving around with the pad into the direction my character should move.. must have looked extremely silly

shortly afterwards i was also introduced to DoooooooM by my neighbour. this game was so much fun. and all these weird noises that came out of it. like really ugly monsters hiding in some corners suffocating on their bile. doom was sick.. i loved it. and this huge fucker aka goat man - good we had cheats.
and afterwards.. DUKE NUKEDEM THREE D.. yeah. wow i was still so young that i got turned on by these strippers in lev 2 flashing their titties. hilarious. one of my favourite scenes was where he ripped off the head of boss act 2, sat on it and had a nice shit while reading newspaper and whistling duke melody.. aaw.. the harmony

then.. playstation.. and then FFVII - GTR HAS A BLOG ABOUT THIS? NEEDTOREADASAP

My first game was I THINK Mario 2 on NES. At least, I remember something about Mario 2 before I remember playing any videogames.

I think the first PC game I ever saw was this one, or an extremely similar looking one:

I'm pretty sure the first game I played on the PC was 1942 on an emulator

But the first video game I played was this NES (I think) game which I don't remember the name of. It was a platform game where you would do levels and then transform into some other creature which had a special ability like running up walls. We still have old tapes of me playing this game when I'm 2 years old.

I tried looking up NES platformers; I remember playing Wonder Boy, but it's not that one.

Can't remember if it was the original Prince of Persia(PC) or Super Mario Bros on the Atari. Both are fantastic games. Never beat Prince without cheats or Mario without skipping levels. I used to play Prince of Persia on my uncle's computer until one day I was messing around with the computer and deleted every single game. Playing Mario at my cousins was great too. I think I owned an atari or one of those crappy ripoffs that can run anything then a PSX, I never got a SEGA or Nintendo system and it has stayed that way till today.
