What was the first PC/Console game you played?

[Arika]

the furtherst back i can remember would have been Sid Meier's Pirates on the NES, at someone else's house, was probably just "grown-ups are talking boring stuff, go play on the nintendo and leave us alone"

Centipede on the Atari 2600. The first console I owned was an OG NES but my Uncle had a ZX Spectrum +2 and a C64 so I was always playing on those. Turrican blew my mind as a 6 year old.

 

Edit - Hmm, I guess my memory is playing tricks on me, I would have been 11 when Turrican released but I swear I was playing it when I was much younger.

I had the Atari 1600XL and my buddy had the Commodore 64. Epic times.

First game I ever played was Wii Sports Resort dogfight on my grandparents' Wii.

That Wii still works - I just don't have it because we use it at my grandparents' house.

I do have the disc, though.

It was a brand new Atari 2600 when I was a kid...but a revised slim 2600 Jr. First cartridge put into it was Megamania...a game I actually still play to this day granted on a newer Atari Flashback 9 Gold console. Nice to relive a little bit of childhood.

I don't remember which first game I started to play on my first console, Yeno Super Cassette Vision ( = Epoch in Japan) with games set, it was for my Christmas '85 or '86.

 

 

 

 

 

And I still have my Yeno console with 7 games. It still works

Eh...

Console game??
Probably something on the Atari 2600.

 

PC game?
Was either Sargon II, or The Search for the Most Amazing Thing, on the Apple II.

[rice guru]

Im just a zoomer so these are the earliest games earliest I can remember playing

 

[DeadnightWarrior]

hmm... not counting the Commodore 16 & 64 games, I guess it was... Nibbles on Qbasic!
More seriously, I THINK the first PC game I deliberately bought was Indianapolis 500 The Simulation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis_500:_The_Simulation
I was playing it under DOS 5.0 on a Compaq 286 laptop with a green tinted CGA 640x240 display: painful to look at but I did have a lot of fun with it.

Hard to say what was actually first. I was born in 1986, and my dad worked at Digital (DEC), and we had some early computers. 

 

My first actual recollection of a PC game was Loadstar: The Legend of Tully Bodine. It was a DOS release in '95 and I would have been 9/10 at the time. I also would have played Doom around that time too, but hard to say if it was before or after Loadstar.

My dad was also a gamer, and he had an Atari 2600 and 7800. I imagine a game from one of those would have been my first console experience, probably common like Asteroids or Space Invaders; IIRC he had ~30 2600 games.

 

Then of course, the usual suspects of Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt on NES.

My first gaming console was NES back in 1993 when I was 6. I think it was a knock off NES console as it includes 64 games internal (with 11 or 12 recurring games slightly modded for easier gameplay). I think City Connect was the very first game I played in that console.

Super Mario on the NES.

My grandma got me the whole kit one that came with the one cartage with mario, duck hunt, and world class track meet plus the running pad and zapper. Needles to say i had the coolest setup in the 1st grade.

Pong
