What was the first video game you ever played?

[kaisei]

My very first game that got me into this whole gaming craze was Super Mario World on SNES. It was a gateway to games like Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, and eventually Pokemon Blue. When I moved onto the PS, I loved the hell out of FFVII and Crash Team Racing. I broke my first controller (through usage, not rage... maybe...) on CTR.

Age of empires ! The first one! Played it when i was 8 years old i believe....

[Keudn]

Sonic 3 on the Genesis

[joester050]

StarShot for the n64 but I actually never finished the game.

[Badly Browned]

X-Wing

[DildorTheDecent]

Burnout Ledgends on PSP. best arcade racer ever.

Would buy a new burnout game if they where ever brought back.

Cod 4, playing it round my mates house! Didn't have the game at the time so used to go round and take turns to play it...

[madscientist56]

super Mario brothers 2

[Bigdaddy5414]

Wacky Wheels on MSDOS on the Pentium 133 I upgraded from an i486.

[Opcode]

Rollercoaster Tycoon... 2  B)

 

Probably the strangest entry here, but this game was what basically got me into games and computers.

Oh and roller coasters, of course. 

Playing RCT 1 atm actually

I would say Pokemon Red but that was my first game so it's kind of cheating. I'll go with Sonic Adventure 2.

One of the first games I remember loving and playing over and over is either Doom or Jill of the Jungle.

 

[Dumaurier]

Doom the shareware version got me hooked. Even ended up taking the diskettes into the school maths department and playing on the pc's there during the breaks.

Actually begged my parents for the Atari Jaguar because it came with Doom lol

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.

I loved Gears 1/2.

 

But as far as a first I'd have to say Mario 64, or Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (Mario NES remake on GBC).

[duckstop]

Metal Gear Solid on the PS1, or Half-Life.

 

Can't really decide.

[xXxrekt_u_m8xXx]

i used to play the shit out of pokemon games on my ds but on pc i gotta go with flatout2 or nfs carbon, those games are awesome!

[DarrenP]

Diddy-Kong Racing - N64. Played that game for 100's of hours. 

[yoshimitsu666]

Dungeon keeper or Theme hospital. Still play dungeon keeper all the time

[HannahLewis]

Super Mario 64 for the Nintendo 64 got me into the whole gaming thing. Oh man I loved that game!

[IustoFulmine]

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!

[darren49402]

Fate, the free version that came on my 1st laptop. I played that game all the time!

[Mudgee1994]

Doom was the first one I played when I was a kid and loved. Although it is tied with Diablo 2: LOD. I've loved playing those games and find myself going back to them every now and again to this day. Although I wish that diablo 2 could be modded so that it can be run really well on high res with updated graphics

[rebirth_assasin]

DOTA 1

[AngryPandaPC]

Probably Command and Conquer series.  I played the shit out of those games on my own and with my friends.  Crazy addicting.  They are also what introduced me to Starcraft, Age of Empires, Civilization, and the entire RTS genre.  That then led to my exposure to general video game consumption.

Star Wars: Races
