Remember YOUR first video game? How old is too old?

What was the first game (PC, Nintendo, Sega, PS, Xbox) you've played ever in your whole life?

How old is the oldest person you know (you included) who still plays video games?

The first game I ever played was Asteroids on the ZX Spectrum back when I was about six.

The oldest person I know is my brother in he's mid thirties.

Pong.

Commador 64

unless I'm mistaken, it was Pong on the atari...if not pong, then I remember breakout, and I know we had other games, but I don't remember anything about them.

edit: and btw, this is sadly my earliest memory.

The first console game I played was Alex Kidd in Miracle World on the Master System, around '88. I was four years old at the time.

The first PC game I played was Doom, around '94.

My first video games experienced started when I was 5 years old with Contra and Super Mario Brothers on NES system, maybe 1990 or some sort of.played with my cousin.

my first ever was doom.... the first i think

i was a kid back then, used to play it whenever my dad took me to this internet centre

haha thx for all the posts (my first forum)

mine was actually that motocross bike game on Super Nintendo followed immediately after one hour

to super mario bros. followed immediately after 2 hours to some baseball game???

My first game was James Bond GOldenEye on the 64. I would just run around with the moonlazer with the trigger down and own everyone :)

HMMM the oldest gamer i know is my friends dad, hes somewhere in his 40s and plays city of heros alot, and a few other games i think. Hes pretty kewl.

I started about the time rampage, and double dragon came out. I barely remember any of the games though. I was also a big fan of pinball.

I'm 38. I have a friend who is 52 who still plays. Video Games aren't just for kids anymore. Haven't been for a while.

Oregon Trail, I think.Hewkii

Ya, same here. But that was only at school. The first game I ever played at home or at a friend's house was problably contra or TMNT on the NES. I wasnt around for atari and the beginning, but I was around for NES onward.

The first PC game iirc I ever played was problably Wolfenstein 3D or Dune 2. There were older ones but I dont remember them too well.

Oh ya, and Chip's Challenge and Jezzball on windows 4.1

My first video game was Wolfenstein 3D. I was four years old and it gave me nightmares from hell, but it got me into gaming, so it's all good.

The oldest person I know who still plays games is my dad, and he's 56. He started playing PC games at the same time I did, when we first got a computer, so Wolfenstein is his first as well.

My first game was Crash Bandicoot 2 on the PS1 - still one of my favorite games of all time. I love it!

The oldest person I know who still plays is my friend's mom, she's 40 something and plays N64 sometimes.

my first game was super mario 64... the last game i played was manhunt 2 about 1 hour ago

oldest person... my grandfather, he likes world war 2 games (go figure)

First Game : Pole Postion on the Atari 800XL

First PC game : Lemmings

First 3D games : Journeyman project turbo & Cyclones

First Online game : Quake

First MMORPG : Legend of Mir 2

The oldest person I know that games often is 58, she plays AOE and poker On the PC as well as Fifa 2008 on the Wii

The oldest person I know who owns a wii & games is 65.

My first game was some weird Sesame Street game for NES or something...not sure. I was maybe 2 or 3 years old. At 4 came my first FPS...WOLF3D! My uncle had it on his laptop and I remember being amazed by it...SkiFree was a close 2nd I think.

Damn...bunch of young kids (younger than me, atleast) around here...not like that's news...

Oregon Trail, I think.Hewkii

Oregon Trail-Only game allowed to play in schools across the country from 1993-1997 HA.

I dont remember my very first video game, but I was 3 years old when I started playing. It was the old atari console with the built in keyboard was my first gaming machine. That had like a hundred games.Jd1680a

Sounds like the Atari 800XL! :) Did you have a tape drive with it or did you just use cartridges?

I started on the console PONG, and Space Invaders when I was 7. There is no such thing as too old unless you can't physically play anymore. The oldest person I know that still plays is 51. The youngest person I know that plays is 28. I'm 37.

i think my first ever game experience was Alex the Kidd on Sega Master System. it came on the machine without needing to install any cartridge. i got Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with that. maybe 1991 or 1992?

first ever PC game was Chuck Yeager's Air Combat.
