What was the first Video Game you Remember playing?

[Lady April]

oh jeez. Me and Robbie came up in a house with one tv, a few game consoles and one VHS player (the only movie was Stuart little). We had a N64, PS1 and PS2. But the first game i remember playing is between GTA san andreas and Super mario 64! I cant make out which one was earlier. We always rented games from a video store so we didnt own a game until we got superman for our Xbox at 8
Robbie also owned a Gameboy that our uncle gave him!

For me, it must be game like a Tennis in Atari, its so much fun when i was kid and playing with my Dad.
But the real first love in game must be Suikoden II ... Amazing...

Pong but a friend had it so that was it. A few years later one Christmas My mom score me a Refurbished Atari 2600 console through her work at the time since her work was a chip supplier to Atari.

I've been a gamer since I was an infant... at least it feels that way. My Dad was very into technology and we were one of the only houses in town with not one, but TWO computers through the late 80s and early 90s.. So I played a lot of video games in that era... But let's see what I can recall - The very, very first video games I can remember playing are:

Battle Chess:

Scorched Earth:

Lemmings:

I also have vague memories of a video game that had like... a knight side scroller at the top of the screen and words for the bottom 2 thirds of the screen. If you typed the words in correctly the knight would do things like ride his horse, leap over bottomless pits, slay dragons, etc. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called though. Tried looking it up but to no avail.This was how I learned how to type quickly and with few-ish errors


Games Played at School in the early 90s:
Oregon Trail

Number Munchers:

There are a zillion others.. but those are... I /think/ some of the very first games I've ever played.

Once, I went to a pizza place with my parents as a kid and we played Mrs. Pacman while waiting, but after that, Tekken 2 (could have been Mortal Kombat, but the boy I was hanging out with wouldn't allow girls to play). My parents bought me a gaming system for a birthday and Tekken 2 was the first game I received.

Hmmm this is so hard to remember. It's along the lines of Commander Keen or The Secret of Monkey Island.

Yes, it was an old game but man old is gold...

 

[Aaron]

Hard to say... First game I ever personally owned was Spider-Man 2.

As far as first to play I believe that was Pokemon Blue? That or Star Fox 64... I know my first gaming experience ever was a nintendo console just not sure which one and which game...

The first video game that i remember playing was a Dino flash game. It had a membership for 1.99 and as a kid, i couldn't afford it. All i know now is that i had a candy cane on my dinosaur's back. I don't remember what the game was called, though.
I think it shut down. Since i forgot my old password i botted about 200 accounts because i couldn't remember a password.
