What was the first video game you ever played?

[Unhelpful]

Majora's Mask. I got OoT a year later. Still prefer Majora. First PC game was Warcraft 3.

My first ever video game was the catastrophically bad 'Thunderbirds International Rescue' for GBA. But I suppose I was too young to realise this until I found my GBA a few weeks ago...

Never played those.  But it's all good, I'm just curious what everyone else was into.  My Pirate Adventure game was on cassette, not disk, not cartridge but cassette tape that would sound like an old modem when loading the game to the computer.

I played something similar on Sega.

I think the first time I picked up a controller was to play the original Tomb Raider, but I was 1 then so I had no idea what i was doing.

 

But the first game I properly played was Pokémon Red. Still have the GBC i played it on.

Personally, I class console games as video games and PC as computer games. So my first video game was Alex Kidd in Miracle World built into my Sega Master System II

Incoming on PC

[MrDucco]

it was when I was around four or five it was a RPG style racing game it was all pixelated can't remember what it was called but it was on a giant white box monitor so that gives you an I dea of the time, around the 1990s.

First was Super Mario Sunshine on the GameCube. Still one of my top 5 favorite games. First PC game on a PC I owned was TF2, which I had played already for 750+ hours on a Mac (I shudder to remember those days)

First PC game was a Hot Wheels game where you had to destroy things by launching the car at them. My first game I played with my first/current system is PS2, I have so much trouble with that game since I've played with a controller my whole life and only have the starting weapons. First true game was either Jak and Daxter, Backyard football, Sly Cooper, or Ratchet and Clank.

[Paralectic]

Rollercoaster Tycoon, Hydro Thunder, then came Runescape and I've put 15K+ hours in that game in the last 10 years.. lol

[Humbug]

I can't remember exactly which I played first. But on that PC I used to play...

 

Prince of Persia

Wolfenstein 3D

Pacman

Dangerous Dave

Grand Prix Circuit

Paratrooper

What is the first game you played and absolutely loved?

Edit: mine was Gears of War 2, I played the shit out of horde mode, but that was before I knew of the master race. Sadly, no emulator for it yet.

[RelentlessAF]

Half-Life
