The First Video Game I Ever Played Was...


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

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.

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 :D

 

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!
