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!
Lunatic Fringe, it was a screensaver so to play it you had to wait for your computer to go to sleep, and if you moved the mouse the game would end.
Crash Bandicoot was also my first game! I was only around 2 years old give or take. I enjoyed the NES and Sega genesis a lot more until I got a bit older as it was easier to get the hang of.
The second game I saw(but did not play) was tomb raider. It made me cry when the wolves jump scare you in the first level lol.
The home version of pong when I was 4 years old.
My friend’s dad owned a small local cable station so he had access and money to get all the latest crap.
I remember he also had a brand new beta max, and I was just this innocent 4 or 5 year old kid and I was asking why the time was flashing and the adults didn’t know. So I just walked up and programmed it. They praised me as being a literal genius and I was like you idiots It’s just a fucking clock.
Rocky’s Boots on Apple II. It was an educational logic game using logic gates to complete puzzles.
Mario Kart on N64
Mostly flash games on some websites. However, the main one I remember was Colin McRae Rally 2.0. Getting a cheap controller with force feedback was amazing.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and I played a couple levels as recently as a few weeks ago.
I don’t know the name. In the afternoons in the early nineties after school I was at a neighbor’s house. Her husband had a PC and a joystick connected to it sparked my interest. He showed me a flight game. I don’t remember much detail, but it was a vector based game with fast action based flying and you had to bombard or shoot enemy bases. The next thing I remember is my mother calling our neighbor when I planned to come home because it was already getting late and I had never stayed that long before.
Toejam and Earl on the Sega Genesis
That’s a hard game to have as a first game! Lol
I’m addicted to Soulsborne games now so maybe there’s a connection
Crash Bandicoot Warped for me.
The Warp Room soundtrack is still stuck in my head twenty years later.
This wasn’t my very first game, but was definitely an early one I played. I beat the remake recently and it was exactly the way I remembered it.
OG NES Duck Hunt.
Mario kart on the Wii. still load it up on occasions to play with friends
Pong n a DEC PDP 11.
