First game you played

What is the first video game you ever played?(If you don't remember, the first one you remember playing.)
The first game I ever played was "the Game and Watch Gallery" for the original Game Boy.(If you don't count that as a real game, the first "real game" I played was "Super Mario Land" on the Game Boy.)
What's yours?

    Probably Columns on the Mega Drive. Or Sonic 2.

    I'm not sure if I got it before or after the Amiga though, so it might have been something on the Amiga? I had Crash Dummies, a game I'm pretty sure was called something like Ozone, but can't find anywhere on the internet, a demo of an Aladdin style game and a Lotus racing game, so it could be one of them.

    Hmm. I don't think I remember. I know it may have had graphics... some 'bleeps', and maybe the occasional 'bloop'... probably had some manner of inputting commands...

    Oh! It had a thing where you did things! And it might have had characters!

    I just googled "that game with the things", and I randomly clicked the last link on the second page, and it came up with God of War. So, I guess it was God of War. But I've been playing games LONG before God of War was even speculated upon, so this may not be accurate. But Google doesn't lie... I don't know what to believe anymore!

    The first game I remember playing was I think Red Baron, but there was also some game I, I think, involving a donkey going up a road and dodging logs or something? Or possibly Pole Position in the arcade with my dad...

    First Video Game: Probably Super Mario Bros. for NES. I was terrible at it. That would have been followed shortly by Duck Hunt, The Legend of Zelda, and whatever other games my friends owned. I wasn't allowed to have video games back then :)

    First PC Game: Battle Chess for Tandy, possibly. Maybe Word Munchers on the ancient school computers.

    Hmm. It was either Joust or Zork. I also got a high score in Kaboom! and sent a picture to Atari so I could get a patch. I wonder what happened to that thing...

    The first video game that I ever played was most likely Asteroids or Space Invaders for the Atari 2600 that my parents bought when I was around three or four years old. Although, I spent more time trying to take the unit apart to see how everything worked than I did actually playing the games themselves. Following that, I wasn't allowed to touch another game console for a few years.

    The first video game that I was serious about was Super Mario Bros. for the NES. I had the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt cartridge and the zapper accessory.

    I think... maybe... uh...
    It was either Pokemon Red Version (I got caught right in the middle of the huge popularity hike; sad thing is, I'm playing the games to this day. They're actually pretty good games, though; most everything else from the franchise is... well... pretty stupid. Especially the anime.) or... um... probably Super Mario World. Maybe some car game that I vaguely remember playing.

    Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)! It's funny, I used to think the objective was to jump on the spikes, and him dieing was him leaping for joy.

    Super Mario World on the SNES... either that, or Wario Land 3 for Game Boy Color.. I'm not sure. Still, they're both awesome games! =D

    Yeah, my first video game was Pokemon Red also. Followed shortly after by Spyro the Dragon.:)

    Gertrude's Secrets in 4th grade.

    It was either that or Oregon Trail. I played them around the same time, so I can't say I remember exactly which was first.

    Wasn't Spyro supposed to be Sony's Mario or Sonic?

    And my first game: King's Quest.

    Spyro was kind of like Mario 64, but Spyro had a lot of humor in it and the worlds were a lot differently designed.Crash bandicoot was nothing like mario 64.Its levels were like, super linear.

    I can't remember if we had a Pong machine, so I'm going to guess it was Combat for the 2600.

    take that back, the cartoon was awesome.

    i guess my first game would have either been a sonic one (either 1, 2 or and knuckles) in 94 ish or pacman or maybe teenage mutant whatever turtles on my dads amiga

    I remember when I was four or five, i played those old tonka computer games with the plastic tools or whatever else you were supposed to use was attached to the keyboard. For example this:
    61EZDSDTZPL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
    EDIT: I take that back, the first game I played was either pro skater 1 (which I remember my parents muted the game whenever I played it so I wouldn't hear the "bad words" in the music) or either of the first three spyro games which still rule to this day. It's really too bad that Insomniac only had three games before they sold the rights to spyro to some other company (Isn't that what happened?) and made all those terrible games after the first three. Sure, now they have Ratchet and Clank but I don't think those games will ever be as good as the Spyro.

    Not exactly, I don't think they owned the rights to begin with. They created the characters, world, and the game, but Universal published it, and had full control of the franchise as part of the contract. I think that's what happened to Crash Bandicoot as well.

    Remember back to the first movie.
    Remember the moral? "Fighting is bad? You shouldn't solve problems with violence? Pokemon aren't meant to fight... not like this?"
    I think my point has been made.
    But, alright, that's just one example. Look, I dunno, maybe it was good at first, but it sure isn't now.

    I think it was some no-name arithmetic game I played on a 286, followed shortly by Mixed Up Mother Goose which was a for-kids Sierra point & click.

    Sheesh, that's almost too long ago to remember, lol

    I do know though, that it was a text adventure, where I had to type something like:
    Go N and Look walls etc...

    It was about a guy on a boat that sunk, and he ended up in an underwater cave, where he had to find out where a humming noise came from....
    I think it had to do with Atlantis.... not sure though.

    I don't remember Tony Hawk 1 having any cussing in the music.I know if you hear the full version of "police truck" it has some, but I thought that part wasn't in the game.I don't remember very well, though....
