Title says it all, what was the first game you remember playing and had fond memories of?

For me it was the PS1, and hearing the OG Crash Bandicoot theme song never gets old for me, got it as my ringtone too!

VS. Super Mario Bros, aka the arcade version of NES Super Mario Bros

I think it might have been Falcon 3.0?

I doubt it was the literal first game I played, but Ghouls n' Ghosts for the sega genesis was my favorite as a kid, with sonic 2 as a VERY close second

Rocky's Boots on Apple II. It was an educational logic game using logic gates to complete puzzles.

Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door on GameCube. I am super excited for the switch remake.

I think it's either Super Mario Land on gameboy, or Super Mario Bros on NES. I can't remember which.

Mostly flash games on some websites. However, the main one I remember was Colin McRae Rally 2.0. Getting a cheap controller with force feedback was amazing.

It's weird reading through the posts and seeing how vivid these moments are for some. I think I may have a memory problem because it's honestly hard to say what I played first. It was sometime around 1988, and my guess is original Mario for NES since it's the first console my parents got, and it came with it. I remember playing it but it's hard to say if it was the first since I may have played something at a relative or friend's house. Played a lot of random NES games after that. My parents also owned an intellivision so it could have been something on that as well.

either Super Mario Bros. on a famiclone or Circus Charlie.

I remember being spooked the fuck out by those "fire rings". man, they looked and still look otherwordly. the whole game gave me creeps.

how about the earliest game that had a profound impact on you? Ultima Exodus for me. it had an immersive world you could explore way bigger than zelda. lots of hidden side quests and some mind-blowing secrets. i mean, tracking the phases of the twin moons was actually part of the game. some of the secrets were essential to completing the game which is why i never was able to complete it until i used a walk-through years later.

years later as a veteran DM, it was absolutely the most influential game i ever played.
