I had one of these bootleg Atari systems because we were poor and these were assembled locally.

Then I made enough money to buy a Mega Drive

First video game I remember playing? Short Order on NES (with the pad.) That was followed shortly by monopoly- also NES.

First game I beat? was dad's copy of Zelda (NES,) Which... I wasn't supposed to be playing. I got caught when I saw my dad was struggling with the water temple.
"Dad...dad DAD. you go here. get that. Do this. And then do this that and this."
"Oh. Cool. wait. how do you know this?"
"Oh i beat it last week."
<awkward pause>
"you better pay attention. that's the boss."
"We're not telling mom about this."

I think the first my sister and I played was A Link to the Past. We didn't know what we were doing, and we didn't know why the princess and the green guy had the same name... We really got into the series when we watched our dad play Ocarina of Time. Detailed graphics, 3D, a day-night cycle, horse back riding... That game had it ALL.

Mine was The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap on a Gameboy Advance

Super Mario World 3 for the NES.

I think it was either Mario Party on the GameCube or Crash Bandicoot on the PS2. The first one I remember well would have to be Pokémon Firered in the GBA SP.

I used to play this RTS called Dune 2000 i think. It was my first ever RTS and it was mindblowing.

Nintendo Game & Watch. (ca. 1981)

I guess that counts?

Dynomite on Windows XP

Crystal Caves on DOS

Dynablaster aka bomberman Wolf3d on win 3.11

It was fruity Franck on armstrad CPC. You had to insert a floppy disk and type EXACTLY the program’s name, which i couldn’t because me as a child always called it tutty fruity. My uncle needed to be here if i wanted to play.

NES playing Sesame Street 123 and ABC. I had a controller in my hand at like 1 and a half. I’m not sure how much the memory is from that exact time, but I remember that game pretty well. I played a lot of classics too, Mario and Zelda, etc.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. It was a good one. Replayed it several times later.

Wonder Boy on Sega

48k ZX Spectrum.

Treasure Island Dizzy is better than all modern gaming and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

Unsure, and depends on what counts as "playing". My brother got an old computer for cheap a long time ago. There was a floppy disc with a game on it. I don’t have more impressions of it than walking around in some weird geometry on the black-and-white monitor. Some sort of chess-board floor I think.

Truly gaming would probably be one of those small Tetris handhelds. I still have mine. Used to play for hours on car rides. Either that or Game Boy Pocket.

Red alert on my brother's psx.

It was dome child friendly puzzle game that was given us for free with the school milk.

NES, with just a handful of games at the start. Neighbor kids started passing around those knock-off cartridges containing a few games (usually titled 100-in-1 or 1000-in-1), as well as other games ("Super Mario 4", for example, which I found out decades later as just a ROM hack of a relatively unknown nintentdo game).

The first computer game I played was Scarab of Ra on a macintosh 512k. The first console game I played was Super Mario Bros 3 on NES.

Gameboy Pocket with Pokemon Blue. I may have played Space Cadet on a PC before I got my Gameboy, not sure.

I am not sure which I played first but the most memorable ones are Bubble Bobble for the C64 or Goriallas on a really old DOS PC. Putting in really high velocity numbers to make the exploding banana fly through the building rather than trying to figure out an arch was my favorite strategy.

The system was a PS2. I think the first games I played personally would have been Ratchet and Clank or some licensed Disney shit like Peter Pan or Cars.

Amiga 1200. Great times 😉

My earliest memory is playing either Chase HQ or Kinnikuman Muscle Tag on the Famicom.

Can't quite remember if it was Donkey Kong Country on SNES or Pokémon Blue on Game Boy Pocket, but one of those.

I don't know the game, but definitely an Atari.

Gameboy with Metroid 2: Return of Samus

Some Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn game on the Apple 2e.

I don't really remember the first I played, but the first I owned was a Nintendo DS Lite with Mario Kart. Yeah I'm not that old.

C=64

Wizard of Wor

I remember it was duck hunt or an snes game of Popeye which is based on the original Donkey Kong iirc.

The first one I played was Zelda, on a gold cartridge, on the original NES.

The oldest system I played on was an Atari.

The oldest system I played games on was an Appie IIe, and it was Sticky Bear Basket Bounce. That game is like, my youth.

Mmmh, not sure. Problably Outlaw.

Pokémon Yellow on the GBC.

First I can recall was definitely either Yoshi's Story on n64 or some pirate themed edutainment game on PC. Those two are most definitely the furthest back I can actually recall with certainty, even if I cannot remember the pirate game.

Though there also was some Egypt themed Tetris like matching game we had on the ps1 that could also have been the first. It's all kinda blurry since this was before I was even in kindergarten, so I could very well be misremembering some things or not remembering another game that came before all of those.

My first was the GameCube, the one that came with Super Mario Sunshine and I would play that game for hours. Even though the Gamecube wasn’t Nintendos best console it’s one of my favourites just for the nostalgia factor.

I think it was some tux related game, supertux 2 or some other
