Forums - Gaming Discussion - What was the first video game you ever played. :)

This really illustrates how young this site really is... and the reason for some of the comments on these boards.

But I digress...

First game ever played: Pac-Man when it was NEW in the arcade (1981)
First game ever owned: Combat on the Atari 2600 (1982)

Sonic 2 on the Mega Drive. In a Toys r us I think.



Maybe Jackal? I was too young to remember.

My first game was actually Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Genesis when I was 5-6 (It hadn't been out very long yet). Good times, but man I'm getting old...

It was either Spyro PS1 or Pokemon Stadium on N64.
Can't really remember.

Super Pong! It had two knobs and a switch where you could chose one of about 4 options one brother gave it to the family for xmas. Pong tennis, doubles, one where it reversed and you catch the ball, and I think a solo. I was pretty little but it was cool, but a pain to switch the TV over too.

Later it was my friends Odyssey 2, and we got a Atari 2600 from Sears. It came with 'Combat' and my little bro and me would play tanks, jets, and biplanes often.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.
