/vr/ - Retro Games

i cant really recall i was too young, this or gb tetris!

ms pac man arcade game if arcade games count.

>>954125
I think I played this before I even knew the Simpsons was a TV series.

Either this or All-stars

Super Mario Bros.
Original, I know.

Don't know for sure. Probably Donkey Kong or Pac-Man in the arcade. My dad used to take me to the local arcade when I was a little tyke. He liked Donkey Kong, so that's probably what I first played.

This game.

It was really innovative for its time. I never managed to beat Alex Kidd because it was hard as hell for 4-year old me.

>mfw i cant remember

I'm pretty sure it was Kirby's Dream Land for GB but it might have been Super Mario Kart

>>954136
I never realized what a dirty whore Ms. Pac Man was

I wish I was good at Soldering, otherwise I'd repair the battery

>>954180
Pretty sure I have the same monitor as you, and that is also my first game...

I think you're me.

>>954175
Yeah, cheating on Pac-Man with all those ghosts at the same time.

What a slut.

I can't remember. Probably Pac-Man or Dig-Dug.

and I never actually finished it.
I also remember playing a pseudo 3D racing game with monster trucks driving around a hilly landscape and you could drive forever in a single direction.
Then I remember some sort of Mario game that I never figured out, I think it was just a demo version.
Only three games on my 1998 era computer

Sonic the hedgehog 2

Played this at my aunt's house when I was 4. She also had Zelda II and Rygar.

I swear, the sidescrolling sections in this are what gave me my love for platform games.

If we're talking consoles, then it would be Super Mario Bros. 1.

Either Spyro the dragon or pic-related.

Super Mario Land.

>>954159
same

One of these

I think it was this. It was quite a while back, now.

I still fucking love this game.

first console; first arcade game probably was Ms Pac-Man at a laundromat or Raiden

Too bad I lost it. Still have Red though.

Too bad I lost it. Still have Red though.

I thought being able to jump on the logs as they went down the waterfalls was the coolest shit ever

>>954125

Some people were meant to go fast.

I'm on my phone so I can't post an image but Ice Climber.

Doom

Scary shit

>>954125
super Mario/duck hunt

Rad Racer for the NES.

>>954125

Same as you, OP. Got Spyro for my birthday when I was really young.

>alley cat

fuckin toy story for GBC, that shit made me realize that I would have to buy my own games instead of getting them from my parents

Thinking back, I wanted to say Super Mario World at first, but that was the first game for the first console I got. My brothers owned an NES before then, so I think my first game was this.

I was about 3 years old. It was on a 10" black and white television sitting on my parents dress. After my sister went to bed my mother allowed me to play for about 30 seconds while my Dad was in the bathroom. I didn't know what the devil I was doing.

I would sit and watch my dad play it when I was 7 or something
Then try to recreate what he did while he was at work, but just end up making incredibly slow progress and wandering around the worlds
I did eventually beat it though
I even did the labyrinth car puzzle on my own, but not by using the sounds, by drawing a map of the maze as I went

Good times

My dad had one of these in his bar, I was playing it every chance I got way before I had my first own console.

good times

Either Super Mario World, Megaman X, FF Mystic Quest, or some shitty disney games on pc

first played was wolfenstein 3d
first owned was tetris for the game boy

Bass Fishing on NES

>>954616
I like you

>>956919
I also.

>>954125

OP are you super young or did you just get into video games when you were older? I remember getting Spyro after playing it on a demo disk when I was fairly little but I'd had a Gameboy for years before that.

>>954125
It was either:
>Donkey Kong Country 3
>DooM
or
>Huggy Bear (Some DoS game for 95)

I think, but I'm not positive.

My brother had a NES and a ton of games before I was born. I played this when I was 2.

Wouldn't you know it, I'm a full-on Megamanfag now.

Phantasy star and now i love first person dungeon crawlers

It was either this or Mega Bomberman.

This. But in a home console the first was Alex Kidd in Miracle World, back in '92. And the second one was the SMS port of Vigilante, it's a really fun game even today.

>>954616
>>956919
>>956924
>not red version
shiggy diggy

Can't remember exactly which were the first, but this was one of them

>>954125
Same here OP

classic

>>957663
I'm so sorry.

>>954136
They do. Regular Pac Man at the grocery store for me... Or maybe that Dig Dug at the bar my dad went to.

I think it was Alex Kidd but honestly I'm not sure

This may not be the first game I ever played, but it's the first game I remember playing

i was very young and wanted to try out karateka but my uncle said it was too violent for me

In 1989 I was three, I had watched my dad play this often and one day he decided I was old enough to work the controller. It has been my favorite game ever since

>>954136
Mine was just regular Pac Man. When I was 3, I lived with my grandparents in a motor home, traveling across the country. Just happened to see a Pac-Man arcade game at a pizza shop, and my grandpa ended up introducing me to video games.

We ended up getting an NES with Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 3 later on. Which worked until one of my second cousins came over and put magnets all over it for some reason.

Uncle Dolan's Playground.

>>957732
I remember getting motion sickness from that game.

>>957732
Holy shit, that was my first PC game.

>going fast with that smaller car and jumping off the bridge

>>957739
this is my life and more.....

>>954768
This one for me too

>>957815
>Using the truck to ram into a bus to attempt to flip it
MANIAC!

Congo Bongo!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_Bongo

Lucky bastard i am.

>>958467

Heh, I remember playing it on my c64.

... As far as I can remember, anyway. Might've been Enduro instead.

>>958502
if any other game besides this is the first game you ever played I hope you are either trolling or die.

>>958545
>making those sort of generalizations
>>>/v/

Buck Rogers..on cassette.

You're the best, dad.

>>958545
Different guy, but what's wrong with SMB1 being someone's first game? EVERYBODY with a NES had at least two copies of SMB1/Duck Hunt.

>>958490
I had that on Dreamcast and my cousin had it on N64. I wonder how much those cabinets sell for these days... I'm surprised that there isnt a Wii/Move/Kinect version of this game yet.

A Link To the Past

LOAD"*",8,1

RUN

This or super mario kart. Amazing times back when my older sister used to game with me

Duck Hunt when I was like three or four, Super Mario World if it's from a console I actually owned myself.

and i beat it too

it makes me want to replay it again to test if i'm as intelligent as my 5 year old self

>>959502
Fucking this

First game I ever OWNED, I forget what the first I played was, it was probably something on My friend's Game Boy

probably Combat.

>reading this thread

>realizing i feel sick because these children are the main populating of a board intended for older gamers.

>>959535
>Combat
This was probably my second game after Pong.

As for your feelings about the next generation, you should feel pride and kinship. I do. These are video games, my fellow old man! Toys! And today's children are happy playing with the toys of our youth! Keep things in perspective.

Not counting some Pac-Man clones in the arcades, this was my first actual video game.

Super Mario Bros on NES.

>Spyro
>first game

Christ we're really starting to get young in here.

Astro Warrior - Master System.

Came as 2 games in one with Hang On

>>959586
Croc 2 was so much more fun, though. Whatever happened to that franchise?

Super Mario bros. or possibly Duck Hunt.

According to my brother, this was the first game I played.

I don't remember it though.

>>959635
go replay it, now. I've spent so many hours trying to beat this at the neighbour girl's place after school.

>>959642
Man, I remember spending hours on the log waterfall alone.

>>959642
You should have been finger banging the girl

>>959646
fuck that shit
the adult levels were so satisfying, though. finally being able to wreck shit after toddlering around for so long.
>>959648
but girls are gross, anon

My dad has a picture of me playing intellivision when I was a baby. I'm sitting up and holding the controller. Not sure what game it was.

First game I remember playing was Super Mario Bros. on NES, the first caste with my cousin.

First game I bought with my own money was Link's Awakening.

parents didn't let us have games growing up. mine was soul calibur ii on xbox.

I was poor so I never had my own games console until I was older.
I played Mario Bros. for the first time at one of my mom's drug-addict friends' house.
The day after he raped/beat my mom.

Zelda and Super Mario Bros on the NES are my earliest memories. The point where memories really become clear is getting the N64 and playing Mario 64 on it.

I'm not sure if it was this but this is one of my first vidya memories

Terrible, terrible game. But I loved it so much.

I guess, that was it. Either this or obligatory Mario or Battle City on Dendy.

this shit

>>959818
Oh god, I still remember that awful death animation.

Half the thread is claiming games released 95+ as their first game. I'd say "Panic", but given /v/'s demographic is 80% 15-18 year olds now, its not surprising. Again, only a few steps away from
>First game: Call of Duty 4
This used to be the "adolescent defining game" joke until it became true. Dat sliding /v/ timescale.

Anyways,
>First game
Tetris, Gameboy.

I know the first games I played were games like pic related. I would play these several times since I was like four or whatever. As I got older, I would spend hours playing the scenarios in Civilization II, and I even played some Mechwarrior II.

My first console game I'm pretty sure was Commando for NES.

this very copy of Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt.

When I was a baby I chewed a lot of the label off. I played it for the first time when I was 2 or 3.

>>954173
Same here anon, I was born into a house that had Genesis/SNES/NES. I remember I liked the NES a lot more, because we had something like one hundred games. I remember my favorites were Galaga, SMB3, Zelda and Metroid. I also remember playing Sonic 2 a lot when I was 3yrs old and never beating the Chemical Plant stage more than a few times.

>>959832

>implying I played video games before I became a man
>implying I had enough money to pay for both vidya and my operation

>>960818
Haha same here, Anon. I think I made it past Chemical Plant Act 1 once myself. Always preferred GameBoy to Sanic.

>>960825
I see what ya did there anon, made me giggle a bit.

Don't have a picture, but Donkey Kong Country.

>>957732
I remember going to an internet café where everyone was playing Diablo or something. I was 8 or 9 and I only used their computers to play Midtown Madness. I thought it was amazing how you could just drive around and ram into things. Also standing on the middle of the bridge until it opened and you dropped into the water

>SLEEP WITH THE FISHES.

>>957710
I know, it was very difficult.

Very first probably Pac Man. First with clarity is a tie between Mixed Up Mother Goose and King's Quest 2.

First game I played:Doom for ps1
First game I dedicated hours into:Darkstone for ps1. I was like 6. Good times, good times...

Super Mario 64, raise your kids on this game, they get coordinated as fuck.. shit it's like walking, it's a natural instinct to rape the shit outta that game!

Some game for the Sega Master System I can't remember for the life of me.

The first level is a 3x3 grid and you have to push buttons or pick up keys and then the big door in the top middle square opens and you go in and fight an alien thing.

>>954131

>that feel when I still have that cartridge with a working NES

I should pop it in and play some good ole Tetris again...dammit.

>>964505
Alien Syndrome?

Good game, I wish your bullets went farther , though.

Probably Pacman on the Atari

>>954462
super mario 3 was the first I remember playing. as a matter of fact, my grandma was the one who introduced it to me. she had just come over a last week, and I busted it out and we played through it again. back then, i was so young, she did all the hard stuff, and now, I can just breeze through it (but i didn't, for enjoyments sake). i'm 21 now by the way. she showed it to me when i was like, 4

Still have it in full working condition. Such a good game.

>>954668
Doom was also my first game. My dad helped me boot it up and enter cheat-codes and everything.
Would you look at that, I played Doom as a child and I have yet to shoot up schools!
