[Emporius]

If by rifle you mean pistol thingy then yes, that's what I used. But it was at a friends house. The first games I owned were like Math Blaster and this really weird and messed up one tht was a point and click thing in space with aliens and all wack

I always refer to it as a rifle as it was uber long for unknown reasons. I think your speaking of Galaga as your second game?

[Steel.Inferno]

Either Mechwarrior 2, Space Quest 3, or Wolf 3d. Not sure which, but I'm leaning towards Wolf 3d.

 

[CyberPitz]

Mars...it's all I remember, but it was for DOS.

 

[Solaris]

Streets of rage

 

[Emporius]

No no no, it wasn't like a space shooter. It was a kids game, I think it ous supposed to be educational or something. It was like click down the hall to go there, or click on the door to go through it. Some other games were like "simon's railroad" with like him and his cat, and of course, "Gizmos and Gadgets"

 

[Stigmata]

Oh shit, I forgot another legend.

Chip's Challenge

 

[Teta_Bonita]

Reader Rabbit's Learning Advnetures! ... Followed by Doom.

 

[mrbloke]

vectorman for the megadrive!
I still play it sometimes.

 

[Dan]

Radar Rat Race for the Commodore 64. On the PC first games were Dangerous Dave, Commander Keen, and the original Duke Nuk'em series.

 

[theotherguy]

The original Legend of Zelda. It was my mom's 4th anniversary gift to my dad. For a long time, it was the only video game I had ever known.

 

[Rapstah]

Stunts. The racing game.

 

[Insano]

Pong.

 

[redruM]

My first game was either Space Invaders or Dangerous Dave in the Haunted Mansion

 

[Gormanmod]

age of empires 2

 

[Zarzak]

Heroes of might and magic 2

 

[Baal]

Duck Hunt for NES I believe.

 

[Dog--]

IDSPISPOPD
IDDQD
IDKFA

[NeptuneUK]

Sonic on the 8-bit sega.
HELL YES.

 

[kupocake]

I wouldn't know which game I played first, but it was from among a selection of rubbish Amstrad CPC games my family had. On a recent late-night procrastination spree, I found out that these games included Haunted Hedges, Roland on the Ropes and Kane. We also had Bad Dudes Vs Dragon Ninja apparently, but the tape wasn't a bad enough dude to Save the President or something, because i believe it loaded only on a single occasion.

First game i'd distinctly remember playing (and specifically enjoying) would be Alex Kidd in Miracle World, which rocked.

 

[Trevelyan]

Pong on an old Grandstand VCS or maybe space invaders on ye olde atari. two of my earliest for sure

 

[L33TPete]

Excitebike. Yea I got started on the hard stuff first.

 

[JFry]

I think either dig-dug or q-bert on one of those cool video game table things they used to have. Twenty years later microsoft releases.. a big ass table lol.

 

[Russian Mafia]

Doom, I believe.

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

The original Super Mario as for my first game, and my first PC game was Mech Warrior.

 

[Saturos]

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.

Duck Hunt? Oh yeah, that dog sucks. I'm remember being frustrated because the game wouldn't let me shoot that annoying beast. Duck Hunt doesn't take itself seriously though, as it was not a "hunting" simulator. I guess that's the primary difference between the rest of the hunting games and early "arcade-like" ones that utilize the NES blaster. They were actually fun.

 

[evil^milk]

I believe it must've have been Word Munchers. Maybe even before that, I got a CD named "Challenge Pack," which included titles such as Pushover, D-Generation, RoboCop, Contraption Zack, et al.

But earlier it must've been the first Super Mario. Hmm, don't know really.

I think the real question is - what is/are the most memorable games you've ever played?

 

[dfc05]

Something on the Atari or Colecovision. Can't remember the exact first game so I'm gonna say.... Air Sea Battle. The game was as crappy as it looks. Also, the targets made no sense. Things you might be shooting down from the sky: airplanes, helicopters, giant smiley faces.


This is definitely not the first PC game I played, but I really wish Rodent's Revenge still came with Windows.

[edit] Just found out MS lets you download Rodent's Revenge for free now. Yay

That's rather a hard thing to gauge, since how can things really be more or less 'memorable'? You either remember that you've played something, or you don't... but even then I can tell you that I played something utterly obscure like Park Patrol after I've seen an image of it, despite not having thought about it for just shy of most of my lifespan.

Besides, people would just take 'memorable' as a synonous with the months 15th opportunity to make a 'best games evar' list, because ultimately you're going to reel off all those games you remember because you love, rather than saying that you're reminded of Alex Kidd every time you look at your Master System's controller, because of the teeth marks you put in there when you were a fragile 6 year old psychotic.

 

[Musk]

I forget the name but it some really awesome game on the commodore 64. Something sisters I think. Not sure

 

[fido139]

[AKIRA]

Then the game that got me into gaming...still my fav game of all time is the original DooM...(when i mean original doom i mean DooM 1, 2 Final DooM and Ultimate DooM).
