Forums - Gaming - When did you play your first videogame?

As in, what year was it, if you can remember?

Also, how old were you?

 

Me, my first videogame was on a Commodore 64 that I think my dad was fixing for a friend. I'm not sure what my first game was, but the first I remember* was Alf: The First Adventure, which I played in either 1987 or 1988 at the ripe old age of 2. No, I probably didn't do well... but I distinctly remember having played the game one time, and my dad only had the console in the apartment when I was two. Haven't touched one ever since.

 

*I'd stated in another thread that I didn't remember, but after thinking about it, it turned out that I apparently lied. =B

I played for the first time when i was 4 i believe, so that has to be around 1991....atari, a boxing kangoroo game. Really cool....great times,...great times ='(



Super Mario Bros. 3 with my dad when I was around 3



1984. I would have been about 2 1/2 years old, and I reckon it was either Ice Hockey or Combat for the Atari 2600.



Yeesh, I don't think this is accurate but I'll have to say 1994/1995.
I was only 4 or 5 at the time, but I had a brother who was 15 (or something like that) who introduced me to games. He'd play mostly, and I'd watch, but, yeah, I got into it when I got a chance to play.

Excellent choices! At least yours aren't obscure and entirely unknown. =/

I remember playing Doom, on my bros' PC, I was like 5. Maybe I played Sonic before that though, but I don't remeber it.

I remember my dad dragged me over to one of his friends places.. i guess in 1979? Or there abouts. And he had "pong". I played it solo for i dunno how long...

I was 4 at the time.

I think that is one of my earliest memories...
