...ffffiive ? ...are you sure ?

cause that game was never released in the west until 1998
and that was on the ps1

( unless your 19 something then disregard that ;p )

No, he was playing the Gameboy Version.
... And I'm 16. :P

gba you mean there is no original gameboy version ;p

That is what I meant. I use the name Gameboy to describe all of it's 5000 incarnations. Sue me. ;)

Wolves?, I was thrown to a prison full of spikes and death when lara crofth still had pony tails, Charles Bronson had to deal wih World War 2 at his 20s, I had respect for larah way back then but not for the game.

TR2? TR2 alright it was down right hilarious and awesome at the same time, even if it made me rage quit harder, until I found a jump glitch in the game, it works kinda like Sonic Boom and RE, stop the game, play, press the jump faster than you can scrub a street fighter match and you are good to go

Woops, mistook "My first game ever" as "My first PC game ever". So here's my ACTUAL first game ever:

Super Mario Land

1992, 7 yrs old, GameBoy

And way before that, I had this LCD thingy called Sleep Walker. Man, that thing was fun! I should try to get one of those on ebay! I still have that beeping melody vividly in my head.

Sleep Walker

on or around 1988, approx 3 yrs old, some obscure LCD format that I don't know the name for

The first game I remember was Pong (or maybe a clone, only remember the gameplay) at a relative's TV. Don't remember how old I was then, maybe 6 years old.

My first games was

Pirates in Hyperspace and Winter games on the C64 ;)

Shortly after i got Super snake simulator on one of the 3in1 cassette tapes - which still to this day is one of the best nibbles type snake games in existence, IMHO.

Wouaou! I totally forgot this game. It was amazing a really great game.

Love the boxart on that game,.reminds me of the original Battlestar Galactica

Shoot, really hard to say. Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo is right around there.

Man I have played alot of games as a kid.
My first games were KQ1 on our old Tandy 1000.
SMB1 on the NES.

My dad would put a blanket over his head and be a monster. My brothers and I would have to slay him without getting pulled under.

That's one of the earliest games I can think of. Or perhaps racing on big wheels. Or baseball. Those were our go-to's. More often than not, we'd have adventures in the woods.

At some point we got an Atari and had the classics: breakout, pac-man, even E.T. I don't know which one I played first, but they were all amazing.

We also had an Aquarius. We had no games for it, but my brother would make text adventures in BASIC and we would play through them. With no hard drive, we had to leave the thing plugged in for days while he would program it up. Then we'd each have one play-through and see who did the best, then shut it off and a month or two later, make another one.

One of my favorites of the firsts was The Empire Strikes Back. You flew a snowspeeder and shot down endless AT-ATs. I was terrible at all forms of games, but would occasionally win at the tanks/airplane game Combat and a competitive centipede-like game that I forget the name of.

Games were neat, but not exactly my cup of tea. Until The Legend of Zelda blew my mind. That moment on, I was hooked. I like games for being games, but living inside of someone else's world is a thrill that I still haven't gotten over.

I was too little to choose games when I played my first.

I was sat down in front of a C64 and remember playing potty pigeon and Bozo's Night Out. I played Atari games around the same time, but I remember very little of them.

The first gaming choice I ever made was to get a Nintendo and play The Legend of Zelda.

My first PC game that I chose to buy and subsequently upgrade my PC to play games on, was Riven (followed by Myst).

It had to have been something like Number Munchers or Math Blaster. Definitely something from school. Non-learning based? Maybe Marble Madness? It was so long ago, it's hard to remember.
