mine was snafu on intellivision. i think i liked it because it reminded me of the light cycles from tron.
Atari 2600! Dragster, Centipede and Pac Man!
Got 'em all on RetroPie these days too.
It was a Sinclair ZX81, which I built from a kit with my brother. I was astonished when it actually worked.
It came with a tape which included about 6 games in BASIC - all extremely simple since they had to fit in 1k of memory, of course. I can’t actually recall what they were exactly though.
My first one was NES. I was just the right age in the late 80s to be caught in all of it. Funny thing is, I don’t remember asking for it. I think my parents just got me one, but I fell in love with games from that point on.
Heck, my second system was the Genesis, and I didn’t ask, or know about it, either! One of the best memories I have of growing up.
Went to the movies with family friends. When I came back, my dad had set up the Genesis and had Altered Beast playing on the tv. Coming from only knowing the NES, my mind was blown.
Thanks for the excuse to walk down memory lane.
i was mainly into nintendo growing up, except for ps2. dark cloud was awesome. music was catchy but i loved how the weapon system worked.
my favorite memory was getting n64 for christmas. stayed up all night playing san fran cisco rush with my brother.
Atari Lynx! It was awesome, but it broke all the time.
handheld right? never played one but a friend had an atari jaguar.
we played some independence day game for it. i remember being put off by the controller. i was more of a fan of the n64 one.
Crash Bandicoot on the original PlayStation. I sucked at it then and still do lol.
I was scarred by the OG Crash and it took a long time to convince myself to buy the remastered version. The time it took to go for platinum still haunts me :D
GTA San Andreas on the PS2! (Barely remember it though because I was a smol wee little boy)
Other than that, Skyrim! This freakin game introduced me to the wonderful world of Bethesda Games! ❤️
Edit: Boy, there are many people here with decades of experience. I’m just 21, guys, don’t make me feel left out 🥲
deleted. double post.
ok apparently not double post.
i had gta3 up to san andreas on ps2 and pc. played a multiplayer mod for san an, glitchy but fun.
elder scrolls is fun. need to get back to daggerfall unity and finish it.
you dont have to feel left out. grab something like retroarch and dive in.
Got it! Thanks!
I remember playing Joust on the Atari 2600. We had a little black and white TV to play it on.
Super Mario World! My grandma bought a SNES for her grand children but only has SMW and Wheel of Fortune lol
I still remember the Xmas we got the SNES. We stayed up until 3 AM playing SMW.
Super Mario Land on the original Gameboy.
I invested so much time in this game as a kid and when i replayed it some years ago i was shocked at how short it actually is…
i was put off by it myself because of the graphic style. i beat it but liked mario land 2, and wario land more.
Atari 2600: combat and ET
Nintendo Game & Watch. (ca. 1981)
I guess that counts?
Atari Frogger and centepide
Donkey Kong Country on SNES! Still love it.
First video game?
DOOM on my grandparents PC
It has to be ran with a smaller image to play but I loved it.
When DOOM 2 hit it was amazing
I think the first my sister and I played was A Link to the Past. We didn’t know what we were doing, and we didn’t know why the princess and the green guy had the same name… We really got into the series when we watched our dad play Ocarina of Time. Detailed graphics, 3D, a day-night cycle, horse back riding… That game had it ALL.
i watched a friend play alttp at his house but i forgot the name of it afterwards.
some time later my parents took me to best buy and got me the same game.
i recognized it once i got near the water temple in the light world. sounds dumb but that made really happy.
one of my favorite games.
oot was pretty cool too. i beat that and spent so much time just screwing around with a gameshark.
