Title says it all, what was the first game you remember playing and had fond memories of?

For me it was the PS1, and hearing the OG Crash Bandicoot theme song never gets old for me, got it as my ringtone too!

    Super Mario Bros on the NES. I remember getting super frustrated and throwing a tantrum because I couldn’t figure out how to jump over the second hole. Hahahaha man I was pathetic.

      That first goomba killed me three times in a row. Took a little bit to figure out the jump timing.

    I have very fond memories of playing Freddie Fish in our local library while my father thought I was going to children’s choir stuff (I hated it and was hanging out in the library instead, just to be back in time, when my father came to pick me up again).

    Original pong, at the Toronto international boat Show, probably in about 1977.

    Jump Man, Space Taxi, and Ghostbusters on Commodore 64. I was using that version of the Ghostbusters song as my ringtone for years, back when I got phone calls ;)

    Manic Miner for the ZX Spectrum.

    It was shit. And I don’t have to tell you why. Just look it up, sound on, that bit is mandatory.

    My first ever gamer was a disappointment lmao. I did get super into the Megadrive and everything was fixed. But man.

    I think Pong, but I can’t remember if I played it before getting the Atari XT. The first game I played on that was Galaxian.

    I’m pretty sure it was Pong on a dedicated console from Sears. I remember playing Pong when I was super young, but I don’t remember if that was at the same time as us getting an Atari 2600 or not.

    Well my first game I think it was Duck Hunt with my family and I didn’t understand how to play it lmao.

    But the game I played alone for the first time was Mega Man & Bass on an zsnes emulator on our family pc.
