First game period was some sort of kiddie game when I was like three or something, I forget exactly what.

First real game was I think one of the original Pokemon games for the game boy- I think it was Pokemon red? And then the first game that I got really into and cared about improving in was actually the original Starcraft back when I was about 8 or 9.

Pretty sure it was Bride of Frankenstein on my cousin's C64. All I remember of the game is some room and some stairs and some highly pixellated people running around, but then again, I imagine I was somewhere around 3 or 4 years at the time, and my memory's always been terrible.

Here's a pic, for you pic-loving people.

I played tons of awesome games on the c64.

For PC it was Civilization I.
For console, I don't remember if we got NES or Gameboy first, but it was probably Super Mario or Tetris.

First game was Brick and Bat. My Dad's work computer (so old it didn't have a colour screen) had some windows clone of Breakout.

Probably some other ones I used to play as a kid, but I can't really remember them as much as that one.

First videogame was either Ghostbusters or Sonic 1 for Genesis.
First PC game was Super Munchers! Oh how I love that game! We played it in our computer class.

Another classic that I haven't seen in here yet is X-Wing! I can see it's not a game you'd start playing as a first game ever, but what an awesome game! The X-Wing series are best space simulator games I've ever seen. (X-Wing, Tie Fighter, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, X-Wing Alliance etc.). If they'd make a new up-to-date game like that I'd buy it right away.

Definitely needed a joystick for best gameplay & optimal playing pleasure. The games had some awesome missions, great gameplay, a good skill ceiling and it definitely caught the real Star Wars vibe

I think my first computer game was either Starcraft or Diablo. I remember Starcraft the most vividly, I think I started playing when I was 7 or 8. Then again those where the only two games we really had on our computer at the time lol. Good days.
