[bushboy]

Mine was Street Fighter Alpha on the PS1.

Pac-Man- Atari 2600

Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt

"PacMan"

[Tish-the-Scorpion]

i don't remember exactly but it was a nes game thats for sure.and it more than likely was the mario duck hunt combo.

[BlairH]

Shadow of the Beast on my Amiga 500. I was 3 years old at the time. Probably explains my screwed up mentality.

[Socrates1971]

Intellivision. Pitfall, Bump and Jump, etc... Good times.

[Josh S]

Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt

I got that, Rambo, Starforce and some other game at the same time.

Atari 2600
"PacMan"


I believe that was the first game I had as well... Or maybe it was Space Invaders or Asteroids.

More recent was Mike Tyson's Punchout, for NES.

[sirgod]

Atari 2600...
For me It was Combat, But IIRC My system came with that game. Got Space Invaders though that same X-mas.

Donkey Kong on the Colecovision :)

I did have some cousins with an Atari that I played a lot but Donkey Kong was the first one of our own (my brother and I) .

An Atari 2600 game, I can't remember which one. I was five, it's all a bit blurry though.

Logic suggests it was most likely Combat (which came with the system) or Pac Man though. If Pac Man was one of the games I got with the Atari that Christmas (knowing nothing about video games and casting about for a title that would interest a five-year-old, Pac Man would have been too obvious a choice to pass up) then logic says that's the first game I would have fired up.

So I'm gonna guess Pac Man, but damned if I know.

[Serik]

Super Mario, NES
Track & Field, NES
Paperboy, NES

I got them all at once, but can't remember which one I played first. :p

[SlightlyMad]

An Atari Grandstand!

There were different sport games: Football, Tennis, Hockey... basically, it was different amounts of white sticks batting a square ball back & forth controlled by a stick with a dial on top. Also, there was the shooting game, where you have to shoot a white square as it whizzes across the screen.

[Lester C.]

Dragon warrior 1.

[Gargus]

Bedlam for the vectrex.

[armyE2]

My first console game was Paper boy. oh yeah

[Ottmeister X]

I was going to say Bezerk for the Atari 2600, but then I remembered we had one of those Pong consoles back in the late 70's--if that counts.

[Athena Bast]

Donkey Kong Junior for the Gemini system. I think it was an Atari Clone. I went through 2 of them. The system... not the game.

[Anthony Johanson]

Super Mario 64, for N64.

[Super Samurai]

Zelda-A Link To The Past SNES

Not a bad way to start my RPG insanity.

[meethraa]

If you count the ZX Spectrum my dad got wheh I was about 5 or 6, then I have no idea, maybe Manic Miner.

Proper console game would be Alex Kidd, which came inside my Master System II.

[Blueferret]

Donkey Kong on the Colecovision :)

I did have some cousins with an Atari that I played a lot but Donkey Kong was the first one of our own (my brother and I) .


Me too. I also got the smurfs game with it for my birthday one year. The football game for Coleco-vision ruled with special controllers.

[hoffmandu]

Well, Super Mario Bros, the one that came with the NES. Otherwise, the first one after that was King Fu. Followed shortly by (in order) Ghost N goblins, Zelda, and Mike Tysons Punch Out.

[Perry Holley]

Asteroids - Atari 2600.

[Dr. J]

Sonic 2, packed in with the Genesis. Five seconds later I tore into Streets of Rage. Best birthday evar!

[Gezora]

Combat!
Atari 2600

I feel so old....

[Bobster777]

Super Mario Brothers, ha ha, many sleepless nights trying to beat that game.

[The Mirrorball Man]

Pitfall - Intellivision

[Buried Alien]

Coleco Telstar, with a variation of PONG on it.

Buried Alien (The Fastest Post Alive!)

[hoffmandu]

Shoot, I forgot about the Odyessey II. I guess mine was the "rings" game, some sort of fantasy game.

[Dreadstar]

Pong.

[Evil Teddy]

I think mine was something like "Punky Skunk" for the playstation. I don't think I owned any games for a while, the playstation was just bought so Da could play racing games. We rented games from this place called "Armchair Videos" which isn't around anymore. It might have been the Reboot game though...

The first game I actually OWNED was Legend Of Dragoon, I think.

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Mine was Rayman which came with my Playstation.
