no.panic Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Something on Commodore 64... I don't remember the name. There was a man on the left of the screen and something (a bag of money i think) on the right, some kind of acid rain in the middle and some points with little roofs to avoid the rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith92 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Pac-Man for me as far as coin-op. For consoles I used to play Combat with my cousins on Atari 2600. It was the pack in game. All we had for a bit. Later got Pitfall, Ms. Pac-man, Cosmic Ark and Frogger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doo138 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 My very first memory in life was playing Asteroids on a 2600 when I was roughly 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispux3 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I think this is my first post here. Anyway, I think my first video game was 1942 at the local roller rink in around 1986 or so. Followed shortly after by Pac-Man on the Atari 2600 at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamuru Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I can't remember exactly but it was either Zelda ocarina of time or Yoshi's Island on the super nintendo. Can't remember the order, they were both my cousin's. But I do remember being like 8 and being amazed at how beautiful Ocarina looked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talbin Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The first game I ever remember playing was Vs. Super Mario Bros. They had an arcade machine at a gas station near my house and my parents would always send me in with a quarter to play a game while they filled up the car. Unfortunately, there were almost always teenage kids at the machine and they would never let me cut in. When I did get to play, I vaguely remember not getting very far.

SYS64738 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I actually remember seeing "PONG" in all it's black and white glory. First spotted at the bowling alley in my town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Horris Goes Skiing on the ZX Spectrum 48k It was the first time I had ever played any kind of computer, console or any game on a TV. Horris gave birth to my gaming passion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talbin Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I looked up the game on youtube. Looks like a mix between skiing and frogger when you have to cross that road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 haha yeah! two games... you have to cross the road to get your skis and then, come back. If your safe you get to ski down the slope dodging trees, navigating slope and hitting checkpoints... LOVED IT! hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perndawg Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Toledo Ohio, 1978 "The Blizzard of '78"My Dad walked 8 miles in the blizzard to purchase a "Pong" system from a store called "Cooks / Rinks" I played it on a 9" black and white TV and it was the most boring electronic system I ever touched; still, the bug had bitten me. I had no life from that day until this very moment when I am up at 1:30 am doing nerd stuff. Thanks Ralph Baer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 hahaaa yeah! I forgot about the black and white thing. I had to play my ZX Spectrum on my sisters black and white TV. Nothing back then could be plugged into the "big TV" (12 inch hehehe) So I was at the whims of my sister. The black and white was tiny and I remember it had a knob you had to turn to tune the channels in.... including the ZX hehehe. ahhh them was the days I do remember the first day we had video too... a device that transmitted movies to our TV at will?!?!?!!? VOOOODOOOOOOOO!!!!! We had it 2 weeks and I recorded EVERYTHING! My mum and dad got so fed up of watching the same 2 episodes of Turtles I taped from Kids TV they finally gave in and allowed me to choose a vid from the Video Shop (the paper shop who had some dodgy copies of movies). I chose The Never Ending Story! I had only dreamed of such a thing..... 10 mins into it and just when the dog dragon thing turns up BOOOOM.... static! I spent the last few weeks watching soo much Turtles that the heads needed cleaning. Of course no one back then knew of such a thing or how to fix. Dad got rid of it and I had to wait 3 more years to watch that Movie on TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styphelus Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 For me it was Breakout on the ZX Spectrum back in 1983. It was the first game on the Demo tape that came with the Spectrum.

talbin Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Seems like a lot of people started with the Spectrum. I was born in 82 so I just missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parityclaws Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Earliest I can remember would be either Pong at a childhood friend's house or Space Invaders in the arcade, during the early eighties when I around 7 or 8, might have been others before that but that's the earliest I remember.
