First video game you've ever played in your entire life

[wallchicken]

The first game I ever played was Super Mario Kart for the SNES. Though it Mario Kart was the first game I played, it wasn't the first one I beat. The first game I beat was Ocarina of Time.

[weesh]

I played on a game system that had a controller that looked like an iPod precursor. It had two buttons, and a rotating disk. I think the console and controllers were brown. I have no idea what it was called.

The first game on it was a war game in which you would try to outmanuver your opponent's tank and shoot it before they got you. You would rotate the disk to turn, press one button to move forward, and one button to fire.

I always had to unscrew our antenna to screw in the contacts of the console.

Anyone have any idea what that was?

I was talking to an amateur video game historian about this. He asked one question to rule out the Atari and correctly narrowed it down to the Intellivision console within seconds. The game was Armor Battle. Check it out:

So my memory had been bad. It had more than two buttons, but only two were relevant to this particular game: move forward, and shoot. Now that I see pictures of it, I remember pushing all the other buttons to no effect. I was probably four years old.

I can barely remember.. I think.. Punch and Judy, on the Commodore 64.

The first game I can remember playing was Time Runner on the family's old Colecovision, when I was around three, I think. I barely remember much about it, other than the fact that it was one of the funnest games I've played, even with today's contenders. Something so cathartic about those old arcade style games. Time Runner was also the game that probably helped me become a huge fan of flight and space combat games such as Rouge Squadron or the new Moon Breakers game on Steam, so it holds a place in my heart.

Crash Bandicoot.

I had... too collect... all of the... apples.....

[Haseo]

The very first game I played was Super Mario Land for the Gameboy.

I have that brick somewhere around here, with the same cartridge still in it.

Mine was Majoras Mask!

Mine was majora's Mask as well.. Best game in the series in my opinion...

Edit: WRONG! My first game was...

THE BEST GAME EVER!

It as on the Atari, I don't remember the names seeing as i was like 4 or so at the time, but it was like Asteroids. Actually, might have been Asteroids, not sure. I remember more fondly playing Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunter.

Back when the rating system was barely enforced, my first game was Mortal Kombat. Despite me being 6 or 7 at the time, I had no problem with it and neither did my dad. He got me on it in the first place so blame him. xD

I remember my First Video Game system was Nintendo, and My Very first game was Super Mario Bros. Since then I have been a big time gamer and remain one to this day!

[EquestriaForever]

I think it was Doom... ... Yes, I think my first ever was Doom. And I think I was... ... 3, 4, 5... I want to say 4... Somewhere in that range.

The first video game I ever played was Super Mario Bros, system wise anyway. As for arcade, if I remember right, it was Alien Invaders.

[Tinker]

I believe my first video game was King's Quest. Came with this amazing handbook too that you needed to translate the runic language used in the game or browse for clues. It's sad to know you no longer get any of those fancy handbooks any more, much less adventure games

[TaleWind]

I think it was either Same (a Win95 default game), or Gemstorm, a game similar to Tetris. After that, it was a Spyro game when I got my paws on my very first game console, the beautifully huge and cloudy grey PS1 with Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon. Getting a dragon on a skateboard was the best idea to come out of the gaming world. :3

[TempoMix]

As far as I can remember my first game was

I played this a lot when I could first walk.

I can't remember which was my first console, it might have been a gamecube game or Shadow King for PS. Can't remember. Or Halo, I remember a butt load of Halo, my dad was a huge X-Box fan and all he played was Halo.

The first game I've played was probably Super Mario World for the SNES. On console, I mean. I can't really remember too far back, but it seems to be the one that pops up in my mind the most. So yeah, my first console with a Super Nintendo. Not as classic as some, but oh well.

[Shivaree]

The first game I played was Pokemon Yellow. I think I was about 8. I played that game for the longest time, until I gave it away to a friend who wanted it.

[LightningChaser]

Twisted Metal 2, I have so many fond memories of that game. So disappointing there were no good Twisted Metal games after #2

Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, & Frogger (all on the same day)

[Spaced]

I'm fairly sure my first game was either:

Or

Good times....

[frostfauna]

I think the first game I played was either Rayman (Playstation), Soul Calibur (Dreamcast), or Hydro Thunder (Dreamcast). I can't remember for certain which was first, but those were the ones I remember as my earliest games. I don't think I was older than 6 at the time.
