I don't really remember the first I played, but the first I owned was a Nintendo DS Lite with Mario Kart. Yeah I'm not that old.

My first was the GameCube, the one that came with Super Mario Sunshine and I would play that game for hours. Even though the Gamecube wasn’t Nintendos best console it’s one of my favourites just for the nostalgia factor.

NES playing Sesame Street 123 and ABC. I had a controller in my hand at like 1 and a half. I’m not sure how much the memory is from that exact time, but I remember that game pretty well. I played a lot of classics too, Mario and Zelda, etc.

Pokémon Yellow on the GBC.

My Gameboy Advanced. Couldn’t tell you my first games, but some favs were Mario Tennis, crash Bandicoot, and some kind of Mario Party game. I also remember a full Frogger game that I really enjoyed. PlayStation 1 was my second console, more Crash Bandicoot and Mario games, Ratchet and Clank, and Madden.

Late 90s and early 2000s were the best times to be a kid (but, of course, I’m biased)

PS1, but I don't have a definitive answer for which game.

[–] Screwthehole@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Wonder Boy on Sega

[–] AAR@rdr.lol 1 points 2 years ago

PC, Bow n Arrow... Maybe math blaster. But if we just want a dedicated game system, PlayStation, Crash Bandicoot.

Red alert on my brother's psx.

Amiga 1200. Great times 😉

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. It was a good one. Replayed it several times later.

I am not sure which I played first but the most memorable ones are Bubble Bobble for the C64 or Goriallas on a really old DOS PC. Putting in really high velocity numbers to make the exploding banana fly through the building rather than trying to figure out an arch was my favorite strategy.

The first game I ever played? Must has been Mario Bros 3 game for NES, or probably Sonic The Hedgehog, the first game that was mine was actually a combo of Grand Turismo and DBZ Ultimate Battle 22 for the PS1 at 6 years old, GT definitely was hard as balls, and not a fan of racing titles at that age, so I mastered DBZ lol.

[–] jaanus20@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I think it was some tux related game, supertux 2 or some other

[–] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

It was dome child friendly puzzle game that was given us for free with the school milk.

[–] GRODIE@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Gameboy with Metroid 2: Return of Samus

[–] Klawn@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

It was fruity Franck on armstrad CPC. You had to insert a floppy disk and type EXACTLY the program’s name, which i couldn’t because me as a child always called it tutty fruity. My uncle needed to be here if i wanted to play.

[–] LuckyLu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The system was a PS2. I think the first games I played personally would have been Ratchet and Clank or some licensed Disney shit like Peter Pan or Cars.

48k ZX Spectrum.

Treasure Island Dizzy is better than all modern gaming and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

Probably had to be Goldeneye on the N64. Split screen with my cousins.

But the first game I really played by myself was Link's Awakening DX on the GameBoy Color.

Honorable mention for Pokémon Gold.

Edit: Just remembered Humongous Entertainment. Freddie Fish, Pajama Sam, Spy Fox on the PC.

Backyard Baseball. The original Super Smash Brothers on N64. Super Mario Bros Deluxe on Gameboy color. Perfect Dark on N64. OK I'm done for now 😅
