Planet Discussions Vault What was the first game you ever played?

Think back to the very first time you played a video game. Do you recall what the game was and which platform did you first play it on? Mine was the very first Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis! I was only 4 years old when I first played it, this was over 30 years ago. My cousins had a Genesis and they brought it over to my grandparents' house. Ever since I have been hooked on games!

Not really sure. I do know the first game I ever owned was The Little Mermaid for Nintendo.

It was a match game where you match objects and then it would say you won huge prizes (but didn't really win anything)

Green objects and writing, black screen.

It was a computer I had in the early 90s and it was a big floppy disc.

Now that's old my friends LOL

I’m pretty sure it was Super Mario on that small yellow GameBoy device. I remember how that jump sound. It used to make me feel like a champion. Later PS1 and PS2 came and changed everything, but Mario was the real start for me.

I played Captain Tsubasa on the NES when I was just a kid, I didn't understand anything, but as time went on I was able to play it and understand it. Today I play it again on an emulator and you know what? I think it's an incredible game. It has several installments; in my case, I play number 3.
