What was your first game? -

[Da Pickle Monsta]

I posted earlier in the thread that Super Mario Bros. was my first video game, like many others here. However, I'd say the games that turned me into a "gamer" all came out during the N64 era, when I was in high school. Those would be Super Mario 64, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, and Goldeneye.

My mom got me a microvision at a yard sale when I was 9. Played with it until the screen rotted.

According to my dad, my very first game was Duck Hunt for the NES. Specifically, the one that shared a cartridge with Super Mario Bros.

Although the first game that I remember playing was Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back for the PS1.

The first games I ever played also were Mario Bros. and duck Hunt my parents bought a Super Nintendo some time in 1991 or 1992. The first game I ever owned on was SimCity 2000 it was a surprise for New Years 1995.

Pretty sure my first game was Pokémon Stadium on my brother's N64.

Decap Attack and Splatterhouse are my earliest memories of video games, but there's probably something predating that.

Whitch Splatterhouse? 3 was my favorite.

PC: ComixZone and SimCity2000. I remember finding some really cool game library on Windows way back and playing the hell out of those two. I could never beat the 2nd map on ComixZone.
SNES: Primal Rage, Super Mario Bros, and Kirby Dreamland.

Those were so far back I can hardly remember anything aside from the fact that I failed miserably at them. The first games I remember playing were Runescape and Diablo 2.

Some day I want to create a Mr Plinkett style 3 hour review of why Diablo 3 is the most soul crushing disappointment of my entire life. I cannot name anything else that hurts my souls as much as Diablo 3.

Street Fighter II. I always have a fondness for that series even though I'm still just as bad at it as when I first played it.

At first I remembered playing Donkey Kong Country 3 as the first game I ever played. Then I remembered that I used to play point-and-click kids games on the computer like Pajama Sam and Putt Putt.

It wasn't until my parents got me and my brother an N64 and Super Mario 64 that I became really interested in games.
