What was the first gaming machine you ever played and what games were the first you remember playing? The first machine I ever played games on was the Amstrad cpc 6128 and the three games I really remember playing are Arkanoid, Head Over Heels and Legend Of Kage, I played other games on there but the game titles I can't remember, one of those was a game where you were like a galactic space trooper fighting your way through a spaceship and the level had three differnet levels to it and you had to climb up an down ladders and you had a gun to shoot the enemies lurking around of you could try and avoid them by climbing up or down a level and try and find your way through, :) amazing memories.

*Not as long ago as yours, but relative to my age it's my earliest memory*

Demo 1, PS1. Coming home from school and seeing my dad play with the tech demo of a manta ray and T-Rex. Then he played a little bit of 'Battle Arena Toshinden', a little bit of 'Jumping Flash!' and a little bit of 'Destruction Derby'. All 3 games which we eventually went out and bought and still own to this day.

Uff. Nostalgia-gasm.

Can't remember exactly which game I played first, but I vividly remember playing Arkanoid in arcades with my dad when it first came out in '86.

much appreciated

Pokemon Blue on GBC. such fun we had...

NES with Super Mario Bros.

It was on an Amstrad CPC 464. Had to wait for a tape to load the game. The games I remember the most are Starquake, Bomb Jack, Roland on the Ropes, Out Run and Agent X II: The Mad Profs Back. I also have memories of my cousin showing me a game called Oh Mummy, Trap Door (based on a 5 minute cartoon shown in the UK) and Barbarian.

Block Fort from Mario Kart 64 in a Youth Club. I was too young to know what it was or how to control anything in a game, but later on someone brought an N64 to my house and I knew I had to buy it and MK64 as my first video game.

Either that or watching my uncle play the Vanilla Ghost House in Super Mario World (I only found out what game it was later, I just remember the green bubbles).

Seeing my older brothers play Super Mario bros. 2 The Lost Levels from Super Mario All-Stars.
