Your first game.

Moonsweeperfor the Atari was the first game I played, I believe. Entertaining in it's simplicity for the time, but, of course, it would never hold up even against the worst of today's games.

Are you kidding? What about the Commodore? The Tandy? Red Baron? King's Quest? Ultima? Wolfenstein 3D? Alone in the Dark? Sim City? Oregon Trail?

God, I can't be THAT old!

Yeah, you're only a septuagenarian

Sure, but the C64 had better games.

I'm sorry, but I had to retaliate an earlier post by Doros.

I am a 360'er but I think that Oblivion for PC is better than Xbox or PS3, since you can make your own mods.

My first game: Age of Empires 1.
The only thing Microsoft has done right, excluding DOS.
I think I last played 2 years ago. I still have it. And given the chance, I'd play it.

I really hate it when someone makes a valid point like this. The 360 version would be so much better if they hadn't made a PC or PS3 version... or any other console/system version...

Meeeeeeemories.

My first game was the best game ever made. DUCK HUNT.
I can still remember vividly that motherless dog popping up from grass and laughing at me whenever I missed a duck. And oh hell yes I would play it again. There are several old games that I still play today.
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 3
The Legend of Zelda
Tetris
Kirby's Adventure
Countless SNES games.

Ah the good old days. I often wish I could erase my memory of the games just so I could explore them all over again. I will now stop rambling.

In fact, the first game I recall playing, was either Commando or Henry's House on C64

I'll take the low-res game where you get 30 bombs, thank you.

Combat on the Atari 2600 was the first video game that I played that was "mine". I bought the system and some games with money that I had saved up from allowances/christmas money from grandma. That game STILL kicks booty!

I remember playing pong in some form before that at an Uncles house, but only vaguely.

I'm pretty sure my first game was Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt on the NES. I would say that I'd still play it, but I hardly play any console games now.

Sonic the hedgehog for Dreamcast, I really adored that game and I'd love to play it again
