In my case, the first video game I ever played was Super Mario Bros. on the NES console when I was about 5 years old in the late 90s. What was the first game you played and how old were you?

Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Genesis was the very first game I ever played in the year 1994 when I was 4 years old! Sonic has been my favorite gaming franchise for a long time now too, without my cousins I don't think I'd ever got into gaming! They had the Genesis and brought it over to my grandparent's house.

This has been a very long time. I never played the centepede game. Surely, you are an old man .

I can't be sure 100% because that happened when I was a kid 6/7 years old (no meme intended). I think it was Heroes of might and magic III but I could be mistaken.

I’m not going to talk about my very first game, because I played a few little games when I was younger but I don’t remember them very well. Instead, I will tell you about the one I consider as my first video game, for it is the first one in which I truly felt something, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Well, Doom was the very first game that I played, as far as I can remember. I fell in love with Doom when I played it for the first time. I also played Resident evil as well when it was released in PlayStation at that time. It was a long time ago.
