The first computer game I ever played was called Sopwith. I played it on an old 486 IBM. Heres a screenshot

After that I got into some Prince of Persia :)

Thanks for the screenshot, you know when I was looking up Hang On, I saw a video in YouTube it's amazing really how much games have evolved. I wonder where games will be in 22 years from now?

I don't remember the name of the game. Nor what system, but the controller was a joystick and I think two buttons. What system is that?

The game was about this flying "thing" that, if I remember correctly, shot arrows. Shown from the side.
Anyone that knows what game I mean? I was only a kid, so I don't remember any more details...

First one I remeber is either Doom or a game called Fury 3 (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/fury3/index.html?tag=result;title;0)

I loved that game...

Off the top of my head it would have been the original sonic on the sega megadrive (genesis). After that it would have been the playstation 1, the game being crash bandicoot. I was hooked, could play for hours, and I still game now, thankfully it's not taken over my life yet though!

I guess I'm not 100% sure what the first videogame I played was. I'm sure I played some arcade games at a pizza place first or something. My parents bought me an Atari 2600 probably in like 1980 or something?? It came with Combat and I'm assuming that is the first game I played on it. I did not get another gaming console until the Super Nintendo when I was in college in like 1993 or so. I also had an Apple IIc in middle school and had quite a few games for it. Didn't get my first Windows PC until 1997 after I got out of college.

I feel old - 1st gameI ever played was PONG - we had that console that had nothing more than a knob you turned and movd up and down the screen hitting a small square or block back and forth like a tennis match. With the flip of a switch there was tennis, squash, hockey, and a few others.That was like 1976 or 1977 or somerwhere like that.

I can't remember the first game I played. The earliest memory I have is playing Space Invaders, and even then I clearly recall being very proficient with using my old Atari 2600, so I must have played other games before that.

I can't honestly remember. I used my PC a lot for educational games when I was very young. I wasn't allowed a games console until I was 14.

This would be better in the General Games Discussion board.
