Title says it all, what was the first game you remember playing and had fond memories of?

For me it was the PS1, and hearing the OG Crash Bandicoot theme song never gets old for me, got it as my ringtone too!

Super Mario Bros on the NES. I remember getting super frustrated and throwing a tantrum because I couldn’t figure out how to jump over the second hole. Hahahaha man I was pathetic.

That first goomba killed me three times in a row. Took a little bit to figure out the jump timing.

Hell yeah. I played duck hunt first, because my dumb ass didn’t understand a controller but cold BANG BANG at that fucking dog.

Then I discovered Mario.

Third was Dig Dug. I hate Dig Dug.

Rainbow Island was my shit.

Pong for me too but on a Sears Sports Center pong console:

DEC PDP 11

Everyone else posting about Atari 2600, C-64, and NES. I think you may also win the thread on the only still supported platform with PDP 11 support extended to the year 2050.

Same here. I really am ancient,lol. I’d thought it might have been a Magnavox console,but they were sears diehards(no pun intended) back then. Makes sense. Even had the giant cylinder paddles with it,but no gun.

Well my first game I think it was Duck Hunt with my family and I didn’t understand how to play it lmao.

But the game I played alone for the first time was Mega Man & Bass on an zsnes emulator on our family pc.

I’m pretty sure it was Pong on a dedicated console from Sears. I remember playing Pong when I was super young, but I don’t remember if that was at the same time as us getting an Atari 2600 or not.

I can’t remember if it was the one with wired controllers or the one with one box that had two wheels
