Your First Video Game

[Twilight93]

May it be Pong or Halo 3, we all had our first video game that led us to be the addicted gamers we are today. So why not tell the world, or at least the KHI community, what your first video game was?

Mine was a PC game that almost all of you won't know a single thing about. It was called, "English". Yes, English, like the language. It was a Platformer that had you match english words with its corresponding picture. You picked if you were either a Boy or Girl and then you were put in one of 25 levels with green sqaures with "?" on them. The first one you jump through gives you a word, lets say "Fork", and all the other squares turn into pictures. If you found the picture of a "Fork", you jump through it and get points. If you're dumb enough to jump through a picture of a "Dog", then a monster comes out, which causes you to hit the space button and call a "book warm" to slime him. You continue to do so until you get all the words/pictures and advance to the next level. Exciting game isn't it? I would guess the design of the game would be to teach the player English, unless you were a 6-year-old genious like me and pushed the Q button, causing the cheat-sheet to come up. And no, I learned nothing from the game except how to waste several hours sliming monsters. But it was fun.

My first console game was either Sonic, Street Fighter II, or X-men on the Sega Genisis.

Erm...I think it was this racing game for PS1. Or the original Spyro. That game kicked ass and will always kick ass.

Well, I barely remember playing it, but I'm pretty sure my first ever game was the original legend of Zelda.

 

[WilliamTheWise]

The orginal Mario brothers. I'm not that Old my aunt had one and gave it to me.

Not including those little lcd screen games you could get for $3, or that Mickey computer game me and my dad played, sometime in the mid or late 90's, the Playstation came out. My cousin who had a SNES at the time decided to give it to me since he got his PS1.

The first game I remember playing is Super Mario World (I picked it because Yoshi was on the cover and I remembered him from commercials). It took me ages to get the hang of things, but eventually I became addicted to that game. I didn't really get anything new until about 2001, when I got Pokemon Silver and a Game Boy Color. It was that that led me into becoming a gamer, I started learning about other systems, getting more games, that kinda thing.

Well, I wasn't really a a genuine game, but I used to always play a Sonic learning game on a cheap kids system that I can't even recall. But I belive the games that got me addicted were Golden Eye and Final Fantasy VII simultaneously.
