Games

croc for ps1; first game and system I owned - this was when ps2 just came out time wise - had to sneak buy the ps1 and hide from rents

River Raid for the Atari 2600

The home version of pong when I was 4 years old.

My friend's dad owned a small local cable station so he had access and money to get all the latest crap.

I remember he also had a brand new beta max, and I was just this innocent 4 or 5 year old kid and I was asking why the time was flashing and the adults didn't know. So I just walked up and programmed it. They praised me as being a literal genius and I was like you idiots It's just a fucking clock.

It was either the dungeon crawl game "Eye of the Beholder" or a Japanese translated strategy game “Romance of the Three Kingdoms III” on a floppy, around 1991-1993 I think.

Mario kart on the Wii. still load it up on occasions to play with friends

It's weird reading through the posts and seeing how vivid these moments are for some. I think I may have a memory problem because it's honestly hard to say what I played first. It was sometime around 1988, and my guess is original Mario for NES since it's the first console my parents got, and it came with it. I remember playing it but it's hard to say if it was the first since I may have played something at a relative or friend's house. Played a lot of random NES games after that. My parents also owned an intellivision so it could have been something on that as well.

The very first game I remember was Alex Kidd on Master System II, my mother was always playing it!

The very first I played was probably NFS 3 on PC with my father. I remember playing it during the 1999 Athens earthquake aftershocks and getting scared

Iirc it was a Sega Master System racing game. Can't remember the name.

I think it's either Super Mario Land on gameboy, or Super Mario Bros on NES. I can't remember which.

I think it might have been Falcon 3.0?

I don't really remember. Maybe Kirby on my aunts Gameboy?

Edit: Should read the whole post instead of just the title. So it'd probably be Bomber Jack. It was on a Gameboy cartridge with other games my dad got me when I was in the hospital as a kid (don't remember what for).

Crash Bandicoot was also my first game! I was only around 2 years old give or take. I enjoyed the NES and Sega genesis a lot more until I got a bit older as it was easier to get the hang of.

The second game I saw(but did not play) was tomb raider. It made me cry when the wolves jump scare you in the first level lol.

Scarab of Ra

All of the games in the 42 in 1 cartridge for the Nintendo Famicom.
