What is your first game ever played !
-
Raid on Fort Knox on a Vic 20 cartridge. No joystick yet, only keyboard.
-
Jumping Jack for the Atari 2600.
-
Frogger - Atari 2600
I think I was somewhere around 3 years old at the time. I would mostly run the stick in circles until frogger got splooched in traffic. I loved the sound effect. -

That's an old one !!
It's the FIRST one, so yeah. My parents got it as a gift for looking at condos when I was about 4.

Probably Manic Minor on the ZX Spectrum.

The first video game I remember playing was a Space Invaders knock-off called "Space Creeps." It was on the TI-99 and it loaded off a cassette tape. The early 80s was a long time ago so I might be misremembering, but I want to say my dad wrote it.
Another early one I remember was on my Grandpa's computer (a C64?) that I now recognize as an incarnation of "Theseus and the Minotaur," although it went over my head at the time, and I always ran straight for the exit and got caught every time. It was rendered in ASCII text and also loaded off cassette.

I was "babysat/watched" by an older cousin at their house. They had Frogger on the Atari 2600... mind blown. :)

I had the odyssey² (philips videopac) as my first home console, with pickaxe pete as my favorite game.
-
Probably either Snafu or Astrosmash on the Intellivision. I believe Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack arrived at the same time but that game was lost on six year old me!
-
first game i played was a gameboy it was like space invaders i dont know how the name was named
-
@retropiecase nemesis maybe? That was one of the first Gameboy games we played as kids
-
It's over 30 years ago so a bit hard to remember.
It definitely was one of the following:-
Double dragon 2 for the NES at a friends house
-
California games on the Atari Lynx (LOVED that surfing mini game)
-
Paratrooper on DOS
-
-
My father brought home an Atari 2600 and Space Invaders. My life has been on this path ever since.
-
I’am glad to see we are all from x generation!! 😂
-
@dteam is 1997 x Generation?
-
@dteam Not surprising there since the people who would most likely make a retro gaming machine for themselves are gen x and millenials.
-
@dteam if we're talking console it's Super Mario Bros on NES
If we're talking first game ever it'll be something on the Sinclair Spectrum ZX either Impossible Mission, Ghouls & Ghosts or maybe the text adventure the Hobbit. Yeah I'm old! -
@retropiecase
@dteam is 1997 x Generation?
I agree, not everybody, but a lot of people are from the 70’s and beginning/mid of 80’s and I'm surprised to see this.
I agree with you, all generations do retrogaming. It's like music, what you have heard young stay with you all your life!
