LuxSpes Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Pretty sure it's either Ocarina of Time or Star Fox 64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughx Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) In 1998... The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past or Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. (I don't know which one I played the first, probably the former) I'm a TLoZ fan since then... Edited March 17, 2014 by Naughx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbus Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Donkey Kong, 1982 or '83. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakuraFish Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart or DKC1/2.. i can't really remember which one was the first due to being only about 4 y.o. back then when i played them, but these are the only games i can remember playing as a child at all, so it has to be one of these.

Lord Raven Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 How old are you that Ruby is your first video game? I was in fifth grade when it came out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narga_Rocks Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Um, can't remember if Apple 2e came before NES in our house, but if so it's like Sammy Lightfoot or Montezuma's Revenge. If NES, then probably like Tetris or Super Mario Bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Donkey Kong, 1982 or '83. Hey, same here. Dis shit, right? Yeah that was my first pretty much. I was like 4 or some junk. You're telling me. :P Heh, get in line. How old are you that Ruby is your first video game? I was in fifth grade when it came out... North America on March 19, 2003, in Australia on April 3, 2003 and in Europe on July 25, 2003. [Pokemanz Ruby] HOARY SHIT. You were in fifth grade.... I was turning 22. *falls over* Edited March 18, 2014 by Loki Laufeyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbus Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Those tabletop games were overrated. If you were player 2, you played the game upside-down. Many a bar did I go in as a kid where I had to play on those things to keep from being bored out of my mind. In my case, Donkey Kong was a stand-up - one of my first memories was standing on a crate to play at a pizza parlour - but I ended up playing Pac-Man on a tabletop often. Going through this thread is amazing. There was a time when I would laugh when someone would say their first game, or first JRPG, was, say, Final Fantasy VII. Now kids are saying things like Pokemon Ruby. I was in high school when Red and Blue came out! 2003, I was in my last year in the US Navy! On this page, someone's first game was Crash Bandicoot. I was getting hickeys by that point! But what's funny is this: Crash is one of his favourite games of all time, to this day. It's not mine, despite the fact that it's objectively a superior game to Super Mario Bros., which was my favourite game when I was a young child and is still one of my own favourites, and what I still call the greatest game of all time.

eclipse Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 TETRIS. And dammit I was good at it! I remember having my first Sapphire cartridge stolen, along with the rest of my purse, in college. Sheesh, I feel old! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I've responded to people who said they played Diamond and Pearl when they were like 6 or 7... I was starting high school when those games came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah, Ruby was the first Pokemon game I actually bought with my own money and then when Diamond/Pearl came out I went with friends to get my copy (as opposed to my parents). Platinum came out the year I graduated from high school. But I can't say I feel old because people like Superbus are in here one-upping me even though my and his first games were technically the same.

I am not kidding, if I say, that my first Pokémon games are x + y. I have never played one single game of this series before , because I hated these creatures (Pokémon) in the TV series. But I never knew, that the Pokémon games were great RPG games. After watching a review of x + y, I bought them. And now I am so impressed, that I want to play more Pokémon games . Godthanks my taste of videogames changed over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandSteve Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Super Mario Kart, I think. I was about three, though. I've responded to people who said they played Diamond and Pearl when they were like 6 or 7... I was starting high school when those games came out. It gets better: Someone who was born on the day Ruby & Sapphire came out in North America will be turning eleven tomorrow, which means they're probably in fifth grade. Don't worry, as someone who is apparently a year older than you (was not expecting that, to be honest), I'm feeling pretty old, too.

Roivann Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Either Zelda II or Super Mario Bros on NES. I can't remember which. Edited March 18, 2014 by Rollertoaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasori Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) The first game I ever played was Super Mario All stars+ Mario world for the Snes. It was a good start to gaming since it had every 2d Mario up to then on it. I believe I got Donkey Kong country 2 at the same time or sometime later.

Nobody Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The first game I owned was pokemon yellow, which I got alongside a gameboy color in the christmas of 1999. I think I might have played SMW before, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Being player 2 sucked but oh well. I used to love how cool the tabletops seemed. Pac-Man was actually a great tabletop game. No joke, right? I graduated high school when Red and Blue were like, in their heyday. I was an independent study/home school program so i was doing a lot of partying during those days and i didnt play pokemanz. My friends' little siblings were playing that shit. Dude, i laughed when people said their first Zelda was OoT. Now, its hella common and just about everyone's first Zelda was OoT. Omg. 2003/04? I remember playing...<beat> Fire Emblem for the first time! Got it Christmas of 2003. Shit was gr9. My first Pokemanz game? I think that was urmm...LeafGreen actually. I was really late to the Pokemanz Party. Edited March 19, 2014 by Loki Laufeyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icon of Sin Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I tinkered around educationnal games on PC by age 3 or so. Had an Atari 2600 but I don't remember playing much until my mom was tired of me directing her in Super Mario Bros and she gave me the controller.
