Title says it all, what was the first game you remember playing and had fond memories of?

For me it was the PS1, and hearing the OG Crash Bandicoot theme song never gets old for me, got it as my ringtone too!

VS. Super Mario Bros, aka the arcade version of NES Super Mario Bros

Minecraft Buzzy Bees update. I still remember my first few days on the school computers, getting ore, digging a hole, finding a village...

I don't have the world anymore, but I have, as you say, fond memories.

Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door on GameCube. I am super excited for the switch remake.

Crash Bandicoot was also my first game! I was only around 2 years old give or take. I enjoyed the NES and Sega genesis a lot more until I got a bit older as it was easier to get the hang of.

The second game I saw(but did not play) was tomb raider. It made me cry when the wolves jump scare you in the first level lol.

Backyard Football and Baseball for PC. I'm pretty sure there were some earlier puzzle games but those two had me loving sports and stats for years.

It's weird reading through the posts and seeing how vivid these moments are for some. I think I may have a memory problem because it's honestly hard to say what I played first. It was sometime around 1988, and my guess is original Mario for NES since it's the first console my parents got, and it came with it. I remember playing it but it's hard to say if it was the first since I may have played something at a relative or friend's house. Played a lot of random NES games after that. My parents also owned an intellivision so it could have been something on that as well.

I think it's either Super Mario Land on gameboy, or Super Mario Bros on NES. I can't remember which.

Boulderdash 2 and Kickstart 2 on the Commodore 64.

My first gaming experience was when I was stuck in the hospital for days due to surgery on my feet when I was super young. My mom's friend let me borrow her kid's NES and, as I couldn't get out of bed, I did nothing but play River City Random, Super Mario Brothers, and one other game I no longer remember.
