Either a leapfrog tablet game, Papa's Pizzeria at a cousin's house, or Smash 3DS at another cousin's house. My first console ended up being a 3DS

First game console I played would have been my sister's Atari ST (the grey keyboard-looking thing).

I still have the very same one and and last time I checked it still worked, stupidly though I chucked out the mouse as I thought it was broken, but no doubt I had it in the wrong port. Still have all the same games I had too, although I know at least one floppy disk has failed, but not bad considering the age of them.

First game I have no idea....as this would be like 30 years ago, my best guess would either be Postman Pat or Double Dragon, and these both would have been on the ST.

It's hard to remember what the first game I ever played was because I was so young. It was either Halo CE's beta build for the Xbox, or Punch-Out!! on the NES.

First game console was the NES.

For PC I don't remember, probably Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear or Shadowman or Medal of Honor Allied Assault or Delta Force as I remember playing them as early as I was, cause my Late Father had shown me the games as early as he could cause I was attracted, the funny thing is that I learnt how to play on laptop/pc earlier than I learnt how to walk x)
For Nintendo DS it was Assasin's Creed Altair Chronicles
For og PSP it was Dante's Inferno [I would love some remake/anything like Dante's Inferno for PC as it felt like a proper portable console dark souls type game]
For VR it was Beat Saber


Here's videos of each mentioned game I've played:

The very first one was:

SNES - Zelda A Link to the Past.

My family was stuck in the beginning of the game and didn't know how to progress further. I was the genius that uproot the weed and jumped down into the well. Armed with a big fat dictionary on my lap at the age of 8 I deciphered all the dialogues of the villagers in Kakariko village. Eventually after some time I finished the game.

For this game achievement I was rewarded a Game Boy for my b-day! :D I still have it, despite a faulty vertical line in the screen, it still works :D
I don't know who quotes me and then deletes the comment, but know that you make my day.

STEAM's GOTY 2024 the Ghost of Tsushima

it's very probable that my first played videogame in existence was a fresh out of release Street Fighter 2 arcade cabinet in 1991... my father brought me to a bar in my little town and helped me play with Ken, telling me "you are the red fighter, do your best". i was just 5 years old, but still convinced to this day that the character also had blond hair.

About home releases... Super Mario Bros for NES in the final days of 1992. He and my mom gave me and my brother as a gift the same console with a special bundle of 4 controllers, a multi tap, and the same cartridge had also Tetris and Nintendo World Cup. On the side, my parents also bought Star Wars and Solomon's Key. Needless to tell, my enthusiasm was so high that at 6/7 years old i already woke up at 7 AM to play the games... SMB was honestly easy to beat compared to the other titles and was completed in less than a year, Nintendo World Cup only in the summer of 1997 (there were passwords, but i didn't learn english at school until late 1996) and Star Wars / Solomon's Key in the late spring of 1999. In a time without internet, figuring out the mazes and puzzles of those two (still great) games was even... harder.

The first video game I played was "Life with Tribe Mod APK," a simple but addictive mobile game where you build and manage a tribe. My first game console was the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), which introduced me to classics like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.

Can't remember specifically. One of

Super Mario Land (original Gameboy)
Tetris (original gameboy)
Doom (SNES)
Super Mario World (SNES)
Mario Kart (SNES)

My cousin owned an SNES and I would watch him play it and then he'd be asking if I wanted to play too. The gameboy is the one my parents had bought me. I can't remember which console I played first

The first ones that come to my mind when I read the question is Wolfenstein The Return to Castle, Mafia & PES on PC, even though I mostly didn't know what I'm doing in the first two, mostly admiring graphics like wow. lol I don't have early history with consoles, I remember playing Medal of Honor, COD, PES on PS2 at my friend's place though. My first console was PS4. lol And the first game I beat was The Witcher 3. I'm way more PC person, especially because the most games I play are strategy ones and require PC, and in the future I'm sure I'll just upgrade to a new computer, also I never was a fan of retro games or consoles exclusives, and even today I'm not finding them tempting.

Fuck I was young when I first started playing games on a computer. First ones that come to mind would be Monster Truck Madness, Redneck Rampage and FIFA 98. I also remember my dad playing Half-Life and HL Opposing Force when I was a brat and that pretty much started a lifelong obsession with Valve games for me.

My dad got me a PS1 when I was 4 and I remember playing NFS Hot Pursuit and Medievil a lot on that. I also have good memories of going to my grandmothers house and playing Unreal Tournament with my uncle.

I guess this is the very first console I've ever had but I don't know what it is. It's probably one of those fake NES/SNES consoles back in the day. If there are any oldschool gamers out there, tell me if you know what it is.

First game is probably Duck Hunt.

Pokemon Blue. Sad to say I was addicted. Finished the game all the way to Mewtwo and catching the legendary birds as a god damned kid, so I dont get whats with the modern game design trend of making everything piss easier.

Not sure where either my copy of it or my Gameboy have gone (I got them both from the same small name game store that no longer exists in Fall River. I think it was called StillPoint Comics and Games), but it'd be a rather mundane puzzle game called QBillion.



EDIT: Hey, I found the location on Google Streetview...'s historical view. RIP StillPoint, you started it all for me.

Mine was a Game Boy Color, with Disney’s Tarzan and Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (at least, I think I was gifted both of those the same day).
If we’re talking actual TV console aside from handheld, then it was a second-hand PlayStation 1, along with Gran Turismo and Driver. Guess the previous owner must’ve been a car guy; I wasn’t one myself, so I traded GT to a school classmate for Metal Gear Solid. Best trade-off I’ve ever made :>

@EpicSaxGuy Thanks :) half of them were machines I bought from new that are somehow still going, and the rest i found when they were really cheap secondhand year back.
I did have to get rid of some to move into my first home though, which I regret a little now, as I probably did have more space than I initially thought, and I'd probably never find them in that condition or price again 😥 but nevermind...

Ah anyway, N64 is probably my favourite, mainly for the wrestling games on it, as I'm actually not a fan of most Nintendo mascot games.
The Saturn also is really fun, especially playing imports. Always liked the original Xbox, MegaDrive is a nostalgic fave, and the CD-i is just really quirky, although I can't play it properly, as the battery is long dead (so can't save games that require that).

The earliest game I can remember playing was an arcade game called F1 in Branson Missouri. I found it a couple years ago and discovered it came out in 1976 and was made by Namco.

Here's a video of it:
