What Was the First Game You Owned?

[Falconbox]

Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Genesis.

Apart from the pre installed games it was Phantasy Star I believe

Purely based on the cartridge's case. I had no idea what kind of game I am getting myself into, wasn't able to read the menus or anything. Made it just out of the starting village. LOL

My uncle gave me an Atari ST in the early 90s with a bunch of games. Out off all the games it came with the first ones I can remember playing was either Star Wars or Dungeon Master.

 

[Decarbia]

Got a NES with SMB/Duck Hunt, King's Knight, Adventures of Dino Riki and Donkey Kong Classics when I was like 3-4 I think. I don't remember getting it, I've just seen the pics. Earliest game I specifically remember opening for myself was Batman NES.

The first game I've ever owned was Sonic 2 on the Sega Genesis. My brother and I got the bundle one year for Christmas. So many fond memories playing that game. Although because he was older than me he'd always play as Sonic while I was regulated to being Tails...

My first game was a Fidelity Electronics chess computer (encased in wood) my parents bought for me from the Sears catalog.

 

[ShiftyHermit]

Super Mario / Duck Hunt cart that came with my NES

Click to shrink...

Same for me except we picked up the original Zelda with the gold cartridge at the same time

It frequently gets confused with those not familiar with the C64 in the states, people think I'm talking about Donkey Kong (Mario was "Jumpman" in the arcade game). It may have taken like 8 minutes to load on tape, but at 5 years old I dumped hours into this one.

 

[Phediuk]

Combat for the Atari 2600

 

[ElephantShell]

Pretty sure it was Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. That game is so hard.

 

[Mbolibombo]

I can remember getting a snoopy g&w some time in the late 80s but also remember getting one of those cheap ass lcd display games from tiger games. Not sure I got first. As far as consoles it was the NES sometime in the early 90s. It was a smb/dh bundle.

 

[eponymous]

Wave Race 64 + Super Mario 64 with an N64 for my birthday

 

[Deleted member 34711]

Pretty sure it was Bubble Bobble (NES).

 

[AaronMT]

1989? 1990?
