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

Ninja Gaiden : The many attempts to kill the 1st boss at the age of 7 lol

I started young, I am not sure if it was Ernie's Big Splash, Space Invaders, or Load Runner. All three where put to shame by Fort Apocalypse.

I can't remember the exact game. It was an old arcade game at a corner store. Not as old as Pong but one of those black and white ones that they just put a colored film over so it would be green and black or orange and black for example. Could have been a newer Pong like game, the one where you could move the paddle left and right as well as up and down. Anyone remember that one?

Super Mario World on SNES... I love everything about that game

The first Video Games i played were Duke Nukem 1991 & 688 Attack Sub, i don't have too many memories of DN91 but as a kid i always loved crashing my submarine down upon the ocean floor

My first video game was Spiderman 2 for the Ps2 and I remember completing that game over and over for a year because my parents wouldn't buy me any new games until Christmas.

My first one was Sonic on the Sega Mega Drive. First Christmas present I ever remember. And I can remember being unable to beat the first Robotnik fight!! For some reason, I tried hitting the wrecking ball but, obviously, it always killed me. I even asked a son's neighbor (he was 20 or so) if he could ask me and I showed him a screenshot of that boss that appeared in a promotional poster that came with the console. His answer: "I don't know, never played it, but try hitting that little device with lights under his ship". I did and accidentally realized that hitting Robotnik would beat him.

I wasn't the smartest kid around.

The earliest game I can remember playing was Michael Jackson: Moonwalker for the Sega Genesis. I remember dying over and over and over on the first and second levels. Don't know if I ever beat it tbh.

If not that game, It could be Sonic the Hedgehog as I had that game alongside Moonwalker, but don't have much memories of it...

My very first game was super Mario world 2 for the Super Nintendo. My favorite memory back then is when I first discovered the star road. It was an actual shortcut to Bower’s castle not to mention you can pick any of the different color Yoshi. As a kid I always picked red as it is still my favorite color.

Sonic the Hedgehog, for the Sega Mega Drive. I don't think I have a favourite memory, other than nostalgia for the whole thing. I guess reaching Star Light Zone for the first time was nice. Considering the inability to save, after the torment that is getting through Labyrinth Zone, reaching a "peaceful" level with great music felt like an achievement.

First real game has to be Heroes of might and magic 3, goddamn i loved that game and play it still. First memory is doing the campaign with my shitty english not knowing whats the objective for days, goddamn was that fun.
