Honestly, I can't remember the very first time I played a video game because I was 4 or 5, but the first video game I spent a lot of time playing was Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis when I was 5.

My first video game ever was Alex Kidd in Miracle World for the Sega Master System. I have very vivid memories of sitting in my room as a toddler and watching my mom play it, and naturally I picked up the controller too. It's still one of my top three favorite games ever.  <3

 

Also on that system, I had Double Dragon, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Out Run, Shinobi, Maze Hunter 3D, Helicopter, Action Fighter, After Burner, and a couple shooting games that I had the gun controller for.

SNES when I was like 5. Very first games were Jungle Book, Lion King, Aladdin, and Street Fighter 2. Not sure which one I really played first but all those were played pretty heavily.

I was so excited when we got an Atari.

 

No I wasn't.  I didn't know what the hell this stupid mass of boxes and bloopy music was supposed to be.  I was 2.

Unless you count educational games like Reader Rabbit on a truly ancient IBM machine, it was probably the original Sonic the Hedgehog and a few others of that era on my cousins' Genesis.  I spent a massive amount of time at our neighbors' house playing Super Mario Kart and Donkey Kong Country on their SNES too.  Sadly my parents never let us own a home console ourselves during the 16-bit golden years, since they figured it'd rot our brains or something.  (Hell, they were probably right.)  On the plus side, I did get in on some old-school PC gaming.  My true first love will always be Descent, and I spent who knows how many hours being confused by Myst.

I got a Playstation for Christmas when I was five.

 

The first game I played was Gran Turismo.

 

 

What a fine game. I played the heck out of it when I was 8, 9 even though I could never get the higher licenses or win the harder races. At least I was good at that first license test when you had to drive the white PT Cruiser 1,000 meters and make it stop in the checkered area lol, but then again a soccer mom could do that too.  :it:

The original Mario Bros/Duck Hunt game.

 

Or the original Legend of Zelda game.

 

It's a honestly a toss up.

 

My older half sisters indoctrinated me into video games very early on.

Pong, Dig Dug, Tempest, Space Invaders, Rygar, Castlevania, Mario games, Karnov, Solomon's Key, Lemmings, Shadow of the Beast, Robo Cod, Zool, Arkanoid, Toki, Ghosts N Goblins, Boulder Dash, pinball.

 

I think Pong might have been the very first.  Or something at an arcade probably?  then I guess I graduated to a friend of mine had a computer and we played games on that.  and then NES.  I kind of skipped the whole like - whatever was between Pong and NES.  Atari and all that stuff, didn't get into that.  Like Atari, Coleco - can't remember what all else there was.

 

But then NES.  Then Sega Genesis.  SNES.  and on and on up through today's PS4 and XB1.  Though I don't have as much time to flush down a video game hole these days.  Fuck - I miss the days when I could work 3 jobs, have an active social life, and still find hours at a time to do nothing but play video games.  How the fuck did I do all that?

you've never played a castlevania or mario game?

 

arkanoid is kind of just another version of "breakout".  that's the one where like theres a wall of bricks and you have a ball you bounce off a paddle to take out all the bricks and break through the wall.

 

and pinball is so common, there's like 1000 versions of video game pinball (and/or rl pinball).  It's been a long time since I've seen a real pinball machine.  It'd be cool to play one of those again.

Donkey Kong is the first video game I remember playing when I was five.  I still love that game.

Bought it from the Nintendo 3DS E-shop.  Also loved playing Super Mario Brothers 1 and Ms. Pac-Man when I was five.

 

Those were the main three I played in Chuck-E-Cheese and in arcades.  I didn't have Nintendo until I was 10 so

I didn't play them very often.

I had a Coleco three in one that featured Pong, a race car game and little plastic pistol that shot birds and outlaws on the screen.  I stopped gaming after Elevator Action was taken out of arcades.
