What’s the very first video game you EVER played? (arcade included)

[severous84]

Obviously, a lot of the older gamers will say Pong, but it’s fun to put things into perspective and see which games were “firsts” for gamers across the board.

[mark0™]

Tetris im sure..

[Ninja]

mine was The Magical Quest starring mickey mouse 4 snes

[Spank-A-Thon]

I think my first arcade machine was Scramble, although it may have been Defender - can't really remember too well!

First computer game was probably Gorf on my Commodore VIC-20. Either that or Omega Race cos they were the only 2 games I had when I got it.

First console game was Pitfall on the Atari console.

Yup, I'm an old gamer... lol.

[REChick14]

first game first game hmmm. Let me think. The first system I owned was nintendo so I believe either Duck Hunt or Super Mario Bros was my first game. I really enjoyed both of them.

[Decifer]

[AudioBoxer]

Pong was great! It was my first!

Then my second was Excite Bike!

[ssjtrunks13]

I don't remember the first video game I played. It might have Mario Bros. for NES or Tetris.

[dan da man]

duck hunt and mario for nes

[MakgSnake]

Well, seriously my very first game was "PONG".. .. back in 1984. I had a video game system called "Conic TVG 406-6". Still have it........ my dad got it for himself that time though.

Heres the pic of my very first SYSTEM.......on which I played PONG! :)

My SYSTEM (Blurry image though) (http://ricardohermes.no.sapo.pt/Consolas/Conic%20TVG-406-6.jpg)

Slightly new version of my system. A clear image though, how it actually looked. Its the same, just in color.

[Ninja]

[MakgSnake]

You could have checked ma profile. 1981 my year.....!

[Ninja]

coo

[Lone Wolf]

From that loser, Mourdor:

Super Mario Bros. for the NES. Same here, as well. I'm surprised not alot of others (well as many as I thought) had the same experience.

[trunks69420]

I think it may have been Galaga or space invaders in the arcade.
First console was NES, and EXCITEBIKE ROCKS!!

[severous84]

Wow, looking at some of your posts has really brought back some memories. Jungle Hunt, Duck Hunt (I remember wanting that gun so bad) Asteroids. I just went from game to game in the arcade and couldn't wait to drop in that quarter. My personal fav was still Defender. I must have spent 500.00 trying to be king of the arcade.

[AudioBoxer]

Does anyone know what the 1st game ever was?
What was the first system?

[Frozen]

PONG (http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/ee476/FinalProjects/s1999/weisz/VTPONG.HTM)

Ignore the emulator matter, just to show you what they point out. I believe they are right.

[Vic Viper]

Atari (cant remember the model)- and i cant remember the game either :(, god i have a bad memory.:roll:

so ill just say my second console/games...

NES- duck hunt and super mario bros

[Vicious]

I think it was Mr. Game and Watch

[AudioBoxer]

For what the first game?

[Vicious]

first game i ever played was Super Mario for NES

[Lost_myth]

My favorite, haven't played that many, but I love Tekken3 when people are around but when it's just me I'd have to say final fantasy.

My first system was regular nitendo. Duck hunt was the bomb back then.

[Deathwatchz]

first 2 games i ever played (got em on the same day) were Final Fantasy 1 and Mario bros/Duck Hunt.

What was the first system? Well, it's a tough one but these are the first two ever games:1958
In an effort to keep visitors to the Brookhaven National Laboratories in New York from being bored, physicist Willy Higinbotham invents an interactive table-tennis-like game that is displayed on an oscilloscope. He improves on his invention a year later by displaying it on a 15-inch monitor. Believing that he hasn't invented anything, Higinbotham doesn't patent the device.

1961
Spacewar.
MIT student Steve Russell creates Spacewar, the first interactive computer game, on a Digital PDP-1 (Programmed Data Processor-1) minicomputer. Limited by the computer technology of the time, Spacewar used new teletype terminals with CRT screens to display the graphics.

The first home video game system was released in 1972, and was called the Oddessy and was manufactured by Magnavox.

I played games on a green screen thing made by amstrad (was a bit like a Spectrum... loaded from tapes) but I can't remember a single thing about it... so I guess my first game was "Alex Kidd in Miracle World" on the Master System. Nostalgia got the better of me and i went and played it one day a while ago... I'm as bad now as I ever was at it :laugh:

[severous84]

Hey Spankathon, now that's some serious history. Nice work. I would have sworn it was pong. What game would you consider a classic and why? Anyone else wants to speak out, go for it.

[Mercury Shadow]

I think Super Mario Bros. for NES around when it first came out, I was so young I just have vague memories of it.

[severous84]

Hey Mercury, dig your screen. Amelie, right. Classics include Asteroid, Defender (The new one is great too) and Space Invaders. All space, all the time.
