The First Game you Ever Played

What was the very first game you remember playing? The Game that got you hooked on video games (i mean REAL games...none of this space invaders or pac man crap)

i can't remeber exactly but it was either:

Red Baron -  http://au.gamespot.com/pc/sim/redbaron/index.html?tag=result;title;2

Wolfenstein 3D -  http://au.gamespot.com/pc/action/wolfenstein3d/index.html?tag=result;title;0

0r "Z"  -   http://au.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/z/index.html?tag=result;title;9

First PC game I ever played was:

AD&D: Hillsfar

I might have played a couple before that, but I honestly can't remeber.

Toy Story Interactive Storybook...

Stuhfoo if you have a problem with it. :P

Leisure Suit Larry 6

Diablo, Doom, Quake, Blood  

"Realms of Arkania - Shadows over Riva" of the Northlandtrilogy pc games

 It's hard to remember, but I am certain Larry 6 was my first videogame. The chronological order of the other ones I can't remember except that Shadows over Riva was the last one of that early gaming period. That finally got me into regularly playing & finishing my games :)   

i dont realy know the name of the game but is the game of the bike in nes

 it was realy greate, o and mario for nes

Man, it must have been the original Kings Quest 1 in all of its VGA glory on my parents Apple ][ C

Sierra adventuring at it's finest (until SVGA & soundblaster of course)

What do you mean no space invaders and pacman? Those are real games if I ever saw em, and they are still better in terms of longevity than most of the stuff that is produced today. What is this you don't call anything before 1985 a real game? I don't remember what my first real game was, but it's clearly in your "not real games" category, aka before your time.Cerza

its not that i don't consider any thing made before 1985 a real game......i don't consider anything made before 1990 a real game 

probably the mario bros (not super mario bros for the nes...the one long before that)

I've been playing games since i was about 4 and im 23 atm so ya originals would be stuff for the commodor 64, vic 20, atari, etc..

Whats the game where you play a worm eating the apples, and every apple you eat your body grows and you need to keep moving around so you dont run into your own body?

Thats the first game I actually remember playing on PC.

LOL let me guess you were born in the 90s so therefore all the classics "aren't games".  I'm sorry but that's pathetic.  No gamer who has any brains would not classify games before the 90s real games.  Just wait until the nintendo people start rhyming off games made pre 90s.  oooh perhaps mario bros to start and that was 1985

That game was great.  Can't think of what it's called these days but back on the commodor 64 they had that game and it was Viper.   

Amazing how so many of your first games are so... modern. :P

My first game I ever played was a classic F1 racing game that I have no clue of the name but I've seen references (in images) of it on several retro occations and was on my dad's work-computer back in late 80's. However I don't consider that as my first "real" gaming experience as I was quite young and computers weren't really introduced in my life back then (the circumstances didn't really give me that option). My first real PC experience was actually with an Age of Empires demo back in 97-98 and from then on I was hooked.

My most remembered experience was however with Contra on the good old NES together with my brother in co-op. Was also the first game I ever "finished", wow what an experience.

On consoles, i think it was Duck Hunt and Mario at a friends place, then we got an awesome pc at home (1mb RAM and 30meg HDD :D) and the first on that one would be Dangerous Dave, or maybe alley cat, not sure. Then came LHX, Duke Nukem (the original), Test Drive 2, Pool of radiance, Gunship 2000, Transport Tycoon, etc.  

I really  miss those days sometimes. Games are too complicated now, i just want to sit and play the game, not have to read the manual for a half hour before... :)

ok how about i allow a few more games into my "Real Game" catagory...if the games graphics consist of more then 10 pixels i will consider it a real game. o wait!...that still rules out Tetris, pac man, pong ect.

for the pc for me it was "duke nuke em'" -R4zi3l-

:D mine to 

Wolfenstein 3D

Duke Nukem the side scroller. 

Super Mario Brothers for NES..

Castle Wolfenstein (the original not the 3D version) on computer.

Pong on console.

Some Mario Bros. game for the NES.

man that was the best game ever

Super Mario Brothers for NES..

frizzyman0292

same here, good times. 

Either Duke Nukem or Jazz Jackrabbit for the PC, I forgot. Then Jazz Jackrabbit 2 came out in '98 it was AWESOME!! lol But I was already really into gaming before '98...

For consoles? It was Super Mario Bros. for the NES.

Tie Fighter
