What was the first PC/Console game you played? Mine was Omega Race that I played on my Dad's Commodore VIC 20

Must have been Power Rangers ZEO on my dad's Windows 95 machine.

My best gaming memories come from Windows XP though. LEGO Island 2, Re-Volt, Hot Wheels, LEGO Rock Raiders, LEGO Loco (yes, I like LEGO games) and that sort of stuff.

The first game I played online was Medal of Honor Allied Assault. From what I remember, it was a good first person shooter for its time. 

 

My first console was Playstation 2, so many good memories on that thing too. SSX On Tour, Tom and Jerry War of Whiskers (fighting game), etc.

Why did I have to grow up 😭

It was a model train set game for our PowerMac back in the early 90s.

 

There was also a asterioid type game too and KidPix if anyone else remembers that.

Thats a hard one, i started very young, to the point where my memory of the time is hazy at best.

 

It wasn't on PC i know that, I didnt get to use my dads Amiga/PC till a couple years later,

 

Dunno what game specifically but it was one of the Atari 2600jr games. Still have them, could have been Pacman, Space invaders, Pong, Warzone, Atlantis,Centipede, and a bunch of others.. honestly cant remember which specifically.

 

After that though the 1st PC games i played were those like Lemmings, Doom, C&C, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, Worms, etc.

 

I feel old now >.<

PC I am unsure. It was some generic windows 98 dell or something, played Unreal Tournament 99 and counter strike 1.6.

 

Nintendo 64 was probably the first one I played.

My earliest gaming memory is playing Neighbours from Hell 2: On Vacation on my mother's laptop. I forgot what laptop it was, I was like, 6 or 8 or something, sorry. 😅

But according to my mother I used to play games or fiddle with my father's computer before he passed away -- I was 2 or less years old at that time and I literally have no memories of this.

I didn't really touch gaming until later into my childhood, but I think it was probably this bad boy

Super Mario Bros on NES. Born 1990.

 

Only actually beat it in a 2010-ish revisit. It's way too hard for a kid.

From what I remember, it was the original PlayStation. Great console, along with the PlayStation 2.

Definitely something on an Atari 2600, Im thinking Donkey Kong. It was mid 80's and my mom had one. I also used to play an adventure style game that was text based with my dad on his old monster computer that had a speech add on module that would tell him what was on screen, also early to mid 80's. He was blind and wrote code hence having that particular machine.

First game I remember playing?  That old Compaq maze game... I was barely old enough to remember it!

 

First game at home?  Sierra's The Black Cauldron.  It was the most terrifying thing in the world when the dragon took Hen Wen.

Console would have been video pinball or Pitfall on the atari 2600.  Still have it and amazingly both games still work.  On a computer it would have either been Oregon Trail or the Carmen Sandiego game series on an Apple IIGS.

Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer, or LEGO Racers. Still love that LEGO Racers but haven’t played it in a while.

I recently picked up my first vintage machine, a VIC 20. Any user tips?

I can't actually remember what order I started playing games in. It was either: Super Mario World, HyperZone, one of the Pokemon games that was available at Game Boy Advance Platinum launch, or Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.

The one I recall the most is Microsoft Flight Simulator 4, but that may just be because I played that all the time.
