Hmm... Mine was Sonic the Hedgehog 1, my parents bought a Sega Genesis before I was born, they loved that game to bits lol!

I believe it was either:

Crash Bandicoot, FF7 and/or Tekken 3.

Legendary.

Ah, bringing back memories of sitting in my sisters' bedroom, staring at a computer screen as they played game after game. An old Amiga; Retro!

My first... Can't really remember, but might have been either Lemmings, Lemmings 3 (classic, the little squeaks they omitted as they were crushed, blown up, plummeted to their doom, drowned, fell into meat processors... so sadistic, yet so fun), uh... there was this wierd thing where you typed in commands to get a crane to pick up an elephant and load it into a lorry, crazy that. Might have been a 'Dizzy' game, Dizzy Magicland or Dizzy treasure Island (both starring a little egg with red shoes, an annoying habit of dying frequently and very easily, and terrible controls, yet how I loved it). Then again it might have just been Tetris. I spent loads more time watching my sisters' play than playing myself, cus I couldn't start the Amiga up on my own, and they didn't ever want to help me do it!

So many of us played the same games, or recognise the games we each started on, it's like the retro game family or something. Getting all nostalgic now.

I was given a gameboy later but only ever had one game for it (Gameboy Gallery 1), then got a Sega Mega Drive off of a guy who didn't want it anymore, not now he haad a Dreamcast (ooh, aah), with loads of games (several rubbish, and even a couple of empty boxes, never quite understood that, but loads of great classics: Sonic 1, 2 and 3, Ecco the Dolphin, Road Rash, Columns, Tiny Toons: Bugs's Treasure Hunt, Micro Machines Tiny Turbo Tournament Two. Still got it hooked up in my bedroom).

AE was the first game I got not from someone who'd finished it. By the time I was done, the box was falling apart and the game book was in pieces. Good Gravy, I loved that game. *sniff* Stupid Windows XP :crying:

I'm not sure if it was Super Mario World on the SNES, Mario Bros. 2 on the NES, Street Fighter 2 on Sega Genisis, or Mega Man X on the SNES. My memory isn't quite clear, but I think it was Mario World.. I think. I vaguely remember my sister playing Final Fantasy 3(or 6) and Zelda 4.

I think mine was Commander Keen 4 or something. . . Old DOS games FTW. :) A friend of my dad's showed it to me originally. . .

Then I went onto really old, but really cool Macintosh games which were awesome before thier time.

Rex Tirano 08-09-2006 09:31 PM

the Exoddus: please try to use proper spelling and punc. It makes the entire post nicer and easier to read.

I'm sure by using such horrific text-talk you will be lynched soon enough.

Is any one else shocked that there are children in this world who do not know about Pokemon? [I mean the games, those games were the first ones I played on a GBColour {but also the entire fad of pokemon}.]

My memory isn't quite clear, but I think it was Mario World.. I think. I vaguely remember my sister playing Final Fantasy 3(6 in Japan) and Zelda 4 and the Toy Story platformer.

The first DOS game I played and still love to this day is X-wing I kicked so much ass in that game

the demo of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

This was the first video game I had ever played

ANN NEELY 08-10-2006 01:32 PM

The first game I ever played was some Batman game for the Game Boy Hand-Cramp. I was the first in my family to beat Jack! :D

Nate 08-10-2006 06:34 PM

Oddys - you got a demo for christmas?! That's really ghetto.

Kamille 08-10-2006 07:07 PM

maybe it came with his playstation

Mojo 08-10-2006 11:32 PM

Yeah, I remember that, with each new PlayStation (Never underestimate the power of Playstation!) a demo disc was included. Whish featured AO, amongst others. I believe Rupture Farms was the only playable level.

Rincewynd 08-14-2006 06:06 AM

I can't remeber which I ever played first. But it was probably Heimdall for the Amiga *cheers* I tried to play a section after watching my brothers...And I sucked at it *hurumph* (gaming child now *dances* ;) )
