What was the first video game you ever played?

It was either Ice Hockey or Duck Hunt, can't remember which.

Pong for me

But seeing some of the game listed makes me long for some side scrollers like Joust but with better graphics

Pong

My uncle had it and then a few years later Joust on the Atari 2600

Don't know the name, and no idea what system it was since i was at a friends house and knew nothing about consoles. It was a racing game on a system released prior to the ps1/n64.

Probably pong or something on an old apple.

Probably Super Mario Bros. on my cousin's NES.

Mega-man or super mario 3 on NES

Combat!! - Atari 2600

It was a pack in game with my Atari.... Loved it. Deathmatch before the internet was even a thing... Hell, it was death match before the 80s had even taken off!

Still, a really fun way to settle a dispute with a friend. Rock paper scissors or perhaps a game of rubber ball tanks on Combat!!

That was my first as well!

Probably Centipede or Space Invaders. Outside of the arcade, Oregon Trail.

A Capcom Contra clone called Codename Viper on the NES. The main character had desert camo pants on but the graphics where so bad he just looked like a pant-less killer with a gun running around, which, at the time, provided a high level of entertainment for 8 year old me.

That's a great question. Truthfully: I don't remember my very first game. I remember my Dad showing me an old Atari 2600 console (the new one). Looking back now it's actually cool I enjoyed playing the classics from an early age. I didn't play my first modern game until the Cars video game on the game cube. The first game I enjoyed on GameCube was Star Fox: Assault. I hope my answer isn't too in-depth.

@nod_calyThat's a classic. It's still fun today.

At least it wasn't AssCreed, and i am thankful for that.

You may have changed your signature but you're very much still an ubibitch 😎

I sure am😎

some kiddie game on PC called "Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon"

first proper game was C&C Red Alert I believe

Tekken 3 back in 1998 on PS1.

God the memories.

best fighting game ever.

Damn, you guys were basically hackers.

@ConanTheStoner: Even in 1984 the dude was like "this shit is old"

I don't exactly remember the first game I ever played, but like the tc I do remember being around 4 and being blown away the first time I saw Mario Bros... so probably that. Still love a lot of Mario games to this day.

I'm pretty sure it was Bart vs The Space Mutants. And I'm also pretty sure it was on the Commodore 64.

You basically had no clue what you were doing in that game but Bart Simpsons was a hero for me with catch phrases like "Don't have a cow" or "Cool your jets, man" so of course I had a blast playing as him.

Pong was my first. Sub Hunt was the first game I spent a lot of time on. The one I remember the most was this tooth brushing game called tooth invaders. Not sure why i tender remember it so much. Now that I've dated myself considering sub hunt launched in 1982.

Some game on commodore 64. Can't quite remember, but the first i remember playing, was Mario on NES :)

Max Payne PC (2002)
