What was your first video game and what was your favorite memory associated with it?

[Inculta]

I remember playing the original Spyro game and passing the controller off to my Dad every time one of those little guys who'd stolen the egg needed chasing because I was about five and had no patience or skill for chasing them without dying.

My first video game ever is a complete blur. Possibly Worms? Maybe emulated Pokémon? I'm not sure.

But my first game that was truly my own and not a hand me down or shared game was Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. What an absolute gem of a game it was, still love it to bits and wish they'd done a better job building on its solid foundations. I still remember spending hours upon hours in the Chao Garden, and when replaying it recently I want out of my way to learn how to optimize my runs of Sonic and Shadow's levels in particular. Easily one of the most impressive looking games out there still if you play it well.

I don't remember the specific first but Mr Robot and his robot factory on Atari was my most memorable first, was the first game I ever played with a level editor, which inspired me to become a game dev/modder later in life <3

Console was SNES LoZelda Link to the Past.

[mxk]

Super Mario Bros. 2 on NES. I remember it being kind of a scary and weird game at the time (I was 4 or 5), but I still played it alot. Probably because it was the only game we had at the time.
The boss battle music, some sound-effects, the birdheads that straight up vore you and weird enemies were a healthy dose of nightmare fuel.
I am glad I still have the game and the NES, plus both are in fine condition.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, when I was about 5 years old. I used to watch my cousins play it for me because I was too much of a pussy to do it my self. Eventually I completed the first level without assistance which I remember vividly.

First (home) game memories were of the Dragon32. It had its Donkey Kong and PacMan clones as well as a "speaking" game called Android Attack and also a strange Star Trek kind of simulator/text adventure called Dragon Trek.

First console was the Sega Mega Drive with Sonic/SoR on bundled.

Greatest memory was loading up the Half-Life Demo disc for the first time.

I don't remember the first game, but I remember my first gaming system - ColecoVision. I remember being amazed that I could make the TV do stuff by pushing buttons.. I was young enough to be amazed by pretty much anything at the time

[Origami-Unicorn]

Sega Game Gear, I was brought a second-hand system as a kid, it came with a whole bunch of games but I clearly remember Sonic, Columns and some F1 racer game that I was hopeless at.

[zehcoutinho]

My first game was Pitfall on the Atari 2600. I have very good memories of it, as I remember it blew my young mind at the time, it really was a great adventure for me. Looking at it today makes me marvel at how a couple of pixels could transport me to a whole new world. Such is the power of a child´s imagination.

Doom95 and the Myth series (Myth:the fallen lords and Myth 2: Soulbrighter). Myth: the fallen lords is bungies first game they developed for both mac and PC (they did games first for mac), then they created Halo and sold myth. These where my dads games. I remember one of my own games where Pharaoh (Sierra, those who made the Caesar series), which i played a lot. Had Warhammer 40k Chaos Gate demo. One of these are my first, exception for some kids games.

[Gamerwolfe76]

I think my first was Airborne Ranger on the Commodore 64, I had to play it on my brother's computer and it was one of the few games he would let me play.

[raremens]

Need for Speed: Underground on the PC.
I played that game with my dad and I loved it so much back then. I think I was around 5 or 6 when I played it.

My most vivid memory in that game was that I wanted to rename my dads save but I accidentally pressed the delete button. I still feel bad to this day.

[Hakuna matata]

Age of Empires II - History, this Game made me want to learn more about History and fun Games with my Brother

[Magvel]

Pokemon Silver, I remember beating the game with Typhlosion lv 100 and some trash mons that I used for HMs and when I needed to revive my big guy.
