^ Topic ^ Mine was actually my favorite game of all time, and one that is often revered as the best... Ocarina of Time. No kidding. It's no wonder I got so big into gaming after that. :P It was at some kids hair cut place where they have an indoor playground, and you can play N64 while you wait to get your hair done and you can watch kids movies while your hair gets cut. I loved that place, playing Ocarina of Time, I remember how amazing the graphics looked then... And I always got pissed when I came back and another kid was playing it. :P Of course, I could have played Pokemon Stadium (I didn't because the monsters scared me) or Mario 64, but all I did was play Ocarina of Time. Oh man, I'm nostalgiaing...

Space Invaders on an Atari 2600. I remember inviting everyone over to play and getting grounded for having too many people in the house...

I can't remember tbh... IIRC I was 4 y.o. and now I'm 29, so as you can see, it's been a ****ing lot of time.

I do remember it was an Atari 2600 game, but don't remember if it came bundled with a game (probably Mrs. Pacman), but I remember a good number of games from back then: pacman, donkey, popeye, galaga, phoenix, space invaders, frogger, missile command, defender, pitfall harry,indi 500, asteroids, moon patrol, he-man, asterix, obelix, and one game I've never got to remember its name. It was really memorable to me because I never got wtf was I supposed to do lo (no, it wasn't E.T.l.

I wish I had it now to see if I was too dumb back then or if it was indeed completely senseless :P

Ah good times!!

The first game I can vividly remember playing and perhaps have very fond memories of, becuase I tried to go back and play it and beyond nostalgia it didn't hold up well. Would be. Sword of Vermillion, I remember my father and I drew maps instead of finding them in the caves, insane fun that was. I'm fairly sure I did play games before that, but hell if I remember em.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, my very first game and arguably(in my mind) my favorite game(ALttP and OoT duke it out a lot). Played it when I was around four years old. I have been hocked on the series ever since.

Don't feel bad, I played some Atari 2600 games like Adventure, Pitfall and Yar's Revenge.

IMO, Pitfall>Yar's Revenge>Adventure. Wish I played them before I touched the NES though, blame my friends since they got me into gaming on that system 1st.:P

I remember....a game for the 2600. I'm not sure what it was. It wasn't asteroids, it was the game where you had to protect Earth from meteors or missiles.

I can't remember if it was Wolf 3-D or Doom II on my old PC when I was a kid or if it was Super Mario World on my cousin's SNES... or if it was Duck Hunt with my dad and uncle (though I was really tiny when they played Duck Hunt I was probably incapable of being coordinated enough to play a game).

I do know that Super Mario World and Duck Hunt would have been one-day treats while for Wolf 3-D and Doom II: Hell on Earth for the PC, well, I beat those both and they were awesome! (Is it any wonder I love FPS games nowadays? :P)

Hehe...Ah the nostalgia... Combat on the 2600 was one of the first games I played. Some computer games before that but that is the one that sticks in my mind.

My NES came bundled with a light gun and this 3 in 1 packed with Duck Hunter, some game where you shoot a can and a western quick draw. I forget the name of all of them.
