My first memory was "hey, who chewed up this Atari 2600 controller?" Before realizing it was me...guess I was just forming memories at the time.

Probably had to be Goldeneye on the N64. Split screen with my cousins.

But the first game I really played by myself was Link’s Awakening DX on the GameBoy Color.

Honorable mention for Pokémon Gold.

Edit: Just remembered Humongous Entertainment. Freddie Fish, Pajama Sam, Spy Fox on the PC.

Backyard Baseball. The original Super Smash Brothers on N64. Super Mario Bros Deluxe on Gameboy color. Perfect Dark on N64. OK I’m done for now 😅

I had an off-brand pong, then got an Odyssey game console. Then got a Commodore 64 and played BC’s Quest for Tires for hours.

My first video game system that I ever bought was a NES. I got it back in 1986 I think.

Sim Farm on MS-DOS. I’m pretty sure it came on a 5 1/4 floppy disk.

I vaguely remember an Atari and Pong, but that’s so hazy that I can’t be too sure.

Not sure which game was first, but I have early memories of Tomb Raider, COD2 and Larry on a Win95 PC. My first used console was an PS2 while the first I owned was an original Xbox. My first used handheld an original GameBoy, with the Advance SP being the first I owned myself.

The oldest ones I used are different tho. I’m not that old but I went back to try a few older devices over the years.

Some kind of Pong game. I was really little and it was my grandmother’s, so I don’t even remember what the actual unit looked like.

Then the Atari 2600 (my aunt’s), then the Atari 5200 (my grandmother’s - she was unstoppable at Pac-Man and could start from Cherry and work all the way up to nine keys without dying once).

Then there was the day we rented an NES. That day changed my life.

It was Super Mario Bros. Start the game. “Oh hey, the screen moves sideways! Good lord, this is a huge game.” Dies a bunch. Find pipe shortcut. “Oh wow!” Finally beat level 1-1. “Yay, I beat the game! Oh wait, World 1-2? WTF?!?!?”

It’s hard to explain the feeling when the most immersive game you’ve ever played was Pitfall.

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

PS1, but I don’t have a definitive answer for which game.
