what was teh first game you ever played that got you into video games and what platform

mine was Die hard on playstation1 years ago.
 
Don't remember my first console game. But my first PC game was Tonka trucks, and my first online killing game was starcraft. Which lead me to become me!
 
Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt on the NES. (I still have that game pak somewhere as well as the instruction manual. Yes, that's what they used to call those old cartridges back then. :))
 
well, first games were this green pixlated computer game called Jungle Jane, very, very old game. And a really bad simpson's game for window's 95.

But the game that got be into video games was HL1. And it's basically been my one and only babeh ever since, no other game sagas will compair. :p
 
I believe it was Sesame Street Counting Kitchen. I ruled at that game.
 
Technically Math Blasters on the school computers in grade three, but my real first videogame was Goldeneye 007 on the N64. This was quickly followed by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64), Super Mario 64 (N64) Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis I think), StarFox (SNES), Super Mario Kart (SNES), and Starcraft.

I think it's one of the best introductory gaming experiences anyone could hope for.
 
Math Blasters! Oh man, forgot about that, saving Spot and all! Still have those laying around because I have a little brother :p

There was this other game we played at school on the old Apple computers.... like, amazon trail or something like that? what was it, it was popular with the kiddies..
 
Oregon Trail.

Ford the river.

You now have dysentery.
 
I cant remember the title, but it was one where you flew F14 fighter jets and blew shit up. On the NES.

EDIT: No, scratch that. It was a game called Mars. It was on the PC, off a one of the old, actually floppy floppy discs. It had 2 colors, green, and black. You jumped around and shot aliens and stuff.
 
You have enough food to last two weeks.

Sally now has dysentery.

You now have dysentery.

You ford the river.

A wheel on your cart has broken. You do not have a spare wheel.

Sally has died of dysentery.

You have died of dysentery.

I've played several of those types of games on the NES too, and probably the one you mentioned as well. They mostly had extremely generic names back then like "F-14 StrikeEagle" or something.

Are you referring to those old 386 adventure games where you type a command for you character? "Walk here", "examine pumkin", "look inside cabinet" etc. I've played several of those too.
 
Whenever speaking of flying games on NES I am reminded of Captain Skyhawk. You flew around in an F-14 and blew up aliens in that game as well.
 
One of the reasons I tried out gametap was to play Oregon Trail. Freaking awesome.
 
Since there was a thread identical to this one, I'm going to copy my post from there.

Oh, then that's an even more generic name than "F-14 StrikeEagle".:p I'm probably thinking of a SNES game in that case. I also remember the first Legend of Zelda and a game by SNK called Crystalis that was supposed to be SNK's answer to Zelda. Crystalis Wiki Good times. Good times. Looking back though, the dialogue in early RPG titles was extremely lame. To think youngsters complained about dialogue in today's games too.:p

Nah, just Oregon Trail again.
 
That looks extremely fun.

Hmmm. I think it was some NES game. Deer hunter. Most likely.

wtf? Why a deer hunting game? No offense but deer hunting games are retarded imo. What is the satisfaction to be gained from blasting helpless deer? I could never understand this. Even in the modern deer hunting titles like Cabela. I could think of other digital baddies who deserve to be shot more than deer. :dozey: Like nazis or the Combine for example.

Deers deserve to die. They're too peaceful.
 
Minesweeper and some helicopter sidescroller.

My first proper games were Doom and Wing Commander.
 
Umm... I vaguely remember playing Doom on a friends computer.

IDKFA
 
Think it was the Age of Empires demo.

I feel really young now :(
 
My first game was sonic the hedgehog 2. Ah memories :)

Well, it was early days. In any case, it wasn't deer hunter, I misremembered. It was Duck Hunter. The one with the ****ing dog.
 
I remember growing up with a lot of games on many platforms, so I can't say which I played first.
My most memorable is the Zoombinis though. Amazing game, and I want it now.
 
Contra on NES.

Before that, I had seen people playing videogames, but contra was the firsdt one. And it still kick's ass!
 
Double dragon or some arcade game where you hold and shoot guns.
First console game was zelda.
Both made me fall in love with games.
 
The first Decent on the family's very first PC. Came free with it :D
 
I don't remember the first first game, but among them are Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Jazz Jackrabbit, SimTower, Tyrian, Terminal Velocity, and many others I can't remember right at this moment.
 
Ah, Jazz Jackrabbit. Sonic with a pulse rifle.

I loved Terminal Velocity. I kept trying to find ways to bypass the fact that it was a demo. Awesome dives and things.
 
Yes, Terminal Velocity was my first and last action flight simulator i ever played. >__>

Many fond memories...
