    First PC game I ever played:

    [Blocked Image: http://guestcontroller.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/wolfenstein-3d.png?w=640&h=400]

    First game I ever played full-stop? I'm ashamed to say I can't remember. Aladdin was one of the very early games I played, so was Terminator: The Arcade and Lemmings on my school's Acorn.. but which came first I don't remember. I wasn't a fan of video-games much during the Megadrive and NES days, I usually only played them at friend's houses.

    So many awesome memories in this thread. I remember lots of Atari/Amiga games but have no idea what they were called. The earliest I remember has to be this beauty though:

    Best laundry place EVERRR!!!!~~

    The first time that I recall playing a videogame is similar actually. It was a fashion store and every once in a while my mom would go and take me with her. They had an NES so the kids are occupied while mommy can try new clothes. Which game? I'm sure some of you have heard of it.

    I've played older games than that, but obviously the thread is about the "first" and not the "oldest" game we played. On the PC it could have been "Prince of Persia" or "Kniffel" (the computer version of a dice game lol).

    Hugo's House of Horrors.

    [Blocked Image: http://i.imgur.com/7TXmi.png]

    At the same time I got it I also got Wolf3d, Doom, all those identical 2d platformer games from Apogee (like Duke), etc. so it's a tossup as to which came first, but Hugo's House of Horrors is the memory that feels earliest to me. I think we had an Atari in the house before the MS-DOS PC, but I don't remember playing it, just watching my mom and aunt play Bowling and being confused because I couldn't make out at age five what was going on on the TV.

    I totally remember Secret Agent, I think it was on the same shareware pack (It was like 7 CDs, we were an early adopter of the disc drive, my mom was so excited when she bought that bundle for probably way too much money at a flea market) that got me Hugo lol

    Oh god I remember that. I could never get past the kitchen for ages.

    Also, I lied. Well, not lied, more totally forgot. Sonic on the master system was my first ever console game with outrun europe and sensible soccer. Streets of rage eclipsed it all and I remembered that instead.
