First Game You Ever Played

Attack of the Mutant Camels on commodore 64.

Everyone has to remember this. If not, what was the first one you ever owned. For me, the first game I ever played was Keystone Kapers on Atari 2600. It was a basic chase game where you had to chase a criminal who was trying to escape your jailhouse. You pick up random suitcases and ride escalators from level to level. There are also round orbs and when you catch the prisoner you have to do it again. This is what gaming was in the mid-1980s folks.

Mario / Duck Hunt cart, I don't recall which game I actually played first.

When I was super young I used to force my dad and babysitter to play Mario while I watched, because I thought it looked super cool but I was terrified of making Mario die. I'm still proud of my dad for beating Sonic 2 for me, even though he'd never have touched a controller of his own volition.

I don't remember definitively what the first game I played was, but the first game I owned was Pokémon Blue. The first console game I owned was Pokémon Snap (came with the N64).

 

[DangerousGas]

I remember playing forbidden forest on the commodore 64, and the final stage with the devil scaring the absolute shit out of me when I was about four years old.

The Empire Strikes Back for the 2600.

Don't remember the name, but you were two cowboys trying to shoot each other through obstacles and such. Was on Atari.

Sounds like Outlaw:

 

[AnOminous]

I would guess some Pong variant on one of those things you plugged into a TV.

You are correct!

 

[Lorento]

Christ, its been so long...um...

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 2 for Gamecube. Blowing up the Death Star is always fun for kids.

 

[Mimic]

Grand Prix on Atari's the earliest one I remember.

 

[Darndirty]

First game I vividly remember playing was super Mario world, it came with the SNES I got for Christmas that year crash bandicoot wrath of cortex was another really early one I remember well.

 

[Black Waltz]

Either Pokemon Red or Super Mario Bros for the Game Boy Color, I'm not entirely sure.

 

[Piss Clam]

Pong. Atari.

Sounds like Outlaw:

Wasn't the arcade version of Outlaw seen in the original 1978 Dawn of the Dead? I think that one was black-and-white, but, still, it must have seemed amazingly high tech at the time. They also showed one of those weird analogue video racing games.

EDIT: More green than black-and-white, but I think it's Outlaw. Pretty good graphics for a game released in, what, 1977? (The movie was filmed in January 1978 if I remember correctly.)

That was Taito's Gun Fight, a pretty similar game where you shot at an enemy through obstacles. (I looked it up.)

 

[sasazuka]

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I suspect that Outlaw might have been "inspired" by Gun Fight, but the Atari 2600 didn't have the resolution or memory to have as many obstacles or the size of the play area as the (presumed) original.

Legend of Zelda on the NES.

I think I was about 4 or 5, but I got through Level 1 and then proceeded to wander around and kill everything because I had no idea where Level 2 was.
