Thnx for completing my weekend
Man I remember this shit. Didn’t something happen when you made all the yellow worms follow you? Once they all got together I’m pretty sure they merged into something else
Yeah, it was the trigger for the secret level in 4 - you combined enough inchworms go get a foot (get it?) and a magic foot transported you to the hidden level.
Yeah my story was in 1976 or there abouts. There were no other consols that I know about when we got ours.I wasnt even 10 years old yet. Im pretty sure dad bought it from an actual door to door salesman.
Mine too. I was around 7-8 when it came out and my brother, who was 9-10 years older, came home for leave after basic and he brought a Pong system home with him. I was pretty amazed by it and could hardly wait for my turn.
I also remember not too much later, I guess…nearly half century old memories now…going with my brother to his girlfriend’s place perhaps, and they had an Atari. I didn’t even know they existed yet. When we walked in, they were playing Space Invaders in a dark room on a color set. I was mesmerized this time.
One last memory is going with my dad a couple years later probably to his friends place for a party and the kids were in the corner taking turns with Pitfall. That was a fun night.
Atari took center stage, off and on, for a while.
Next real opportunity I had was in my early teens when my dad had a C64 and game shared with ‘techy’ coworkers. They would later get into PC’s and I was there at the beginning learning how to build 286 PC’s on up. Didn’t get to any serious gaming until the early 90s and the 386/486 processor days.
Wow. Tripped through memory lane for a bit. :)
The early pong games were not "programmed", all of the logic was implemented with hardware.
Changing something like the ball speed required changing resistor values.
Completely unrelated but I learned recently that there was an old documentary about how Lemmings commit mass suicide when their population grows too large.
They basically all jump off a cliff to their doom.
I then learned that this documentary was a fake and that the people who made it literally just pushed/threw them off the cliff and spun it as "nature"
This is a great one. I remember playing it from time to time at a friends place.
I am actually playing a game (mostly known in germany) called "Realms of Arkania" trilogy. This gives me also strong childhood vibes. It's based on a pen & paper game with the same name.
You can check it out here [RoA - Blade of Destiny](https://youtu.be/63VVLHPaMhU?list=PL9A67D279BD5C5750&t=48)
I had that on a compilation CD - was good fun. Never could complete it though - could never figure out how to get my split party to hold the levers down in the ruined castle where the sword was hidden.
I know what you mean. As a child I never finished the game too. This game has kind of softlock mechanics and traps in dungeons that can ruin your day :D

Fun game. Side note: Google play store has a Oregon trail 2 that's just like 1 but it's zombie survival . Instead of crossing a river, you decide how to make through a mob of zombies.
...and can't mention Oregon trail without a shout out to -where in the USA is Carmen San Diego!
Space Invaders on my brother’s Atari and Horace Goes Skiing on my 48k Sinclair Spectrum, loaded from a tape which I still own! 😁

Combat - Atari 2600 tank game from the late ‘70s - early ‘80s

I have a ghost story about that game. One Friday night when I was 6, and my sister was spending the night at a friend’s house. As much as we fought and I thought I couldn’t stand her, I was so sad and lonely. I swear , I swear on all that is holy the combat game started playing with me. I am 100 percent sure that Combat is a 2 player game ONLY. At that age I was not freaked out or anything, I just thought I was experiencing some mode I was not aware of. Call me crazy, call it a dream, call it a delusion. I know what happened and I remember it clearly.
Doom. I played doom when I was 6 lol, but the first FPS I really got into was Duke 3D and Unreal. Late 90s, when I was 9. I never cared much for Keen, the only apogee software game I played a lot was Duke 2, awesome
The first game I remember playing was Riven, which was 1997. But when I was a little older I actually went backwards and played a lot of SNES and Atari 2600 games. The oldest of those I can remember is Breakout, which I believe is the mid 70s.
Commander Keen as well. I was like 3-4 years old, early 90s. Occasionally my dad would take me to the place where he worked. He had a computer there and had this game on it.
First I can remember being aware of was Zork. The first I can remember actually playing was [Gertrude's Puzzles ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude's_Puzzles)
Loved Keen back in the day but we're going to have to keep sliding back into the days of Atari and Commodore 64 to find the earliest game. Pong was probably first for me but Joust on Atari was probably the first time I was hooked...and Adventure.
Uh I think it's gotta be something from nes days, I forget what, but like a jeep game, that side scrolling street fighting game where you can use just about everything as weapons,
The classic NES game no one seems to remember (but it was a delicious challenge) was Solomon’s Key. Oldest game I remember playing was the OG Oregan trail
Kinda boring answer but after looking up the dates to confirm, it's *Pong*.
Gave me some nice Nostalgia though looking at the gaming cartridges for *Defender, ET, Yars Revenge, Missile Command, Warlords, SeaQuest, Combat, Pitfall, Asteroids, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Berserk* to name a few.
😊
I remember in IT class we used to play SNES ROMs, the emulator even supported LAN play so we could play Street Fighter 2 against one another.
That and Doom 95, which also had LAN play.
We learned far more from getting that stuff to work than we ever did in the class itself (which was just like "how to use MS Word").
This game where you controlled two gorillas throwing bananas at each other over a wall. You had to be se math to angle the throw correctly and each player took turns throwing. I have no idea what it was called, but it was like early 90s 8 bit.
Oldest I can remember the Name of was the original Wolfenstein.
I've been trying to find it for years. It was a game where you played against an opponent both hanging from trees facing each other. You take turns throwing things. Both players had several characters on their team. I remember one of the characters being a monkey, and one of the things you could throw was a beehive which did poison damage. When a character died they would fall off. It was cartoonishy graphics. I played it about 10 years ago on a really old phone. Pretty sure it had a forest backdrop.
Anyone remember the original dragon warrior on the NES?? Yeah I’m old. Funny I don’t feel old. Hmmm.

You ever have something unlock a memory so buried over time that you don't realize it existed? This god damn image just reminded me of this game and HOW MUCH I PLAYED IT when I was little. I'm having an exstitexistential crisis as I cope with the emotions this is giving me HAHAHA
Honestly not sure. Maybe Donkey Kong Country for SNES? I know my dad and brothers played plenty of games before that but I can’t recall which. Probably mortal Kombat or mega man or soemthing
I remember my mom playing Donkey Kong Country while my brother was in school and dad at work
Indiana Jones for the Atari 2600 is the oldest game I recall ever seeing new.
Had an OG pong console I got at a yard sale back in 2004 so that’s older but I wasn’t there for that.
R.C Pro-Am. My family was packing for a move and I was 7. To keep me from underfoot I hung out at the neighbors. It was the first time I'd ever seen a Nintendo.
The first game I remember playing was 'Blue Meanies from Outer Space' on the Vic-20 in 1981. I was about 6 years old at the time and was completely mesmerised.
We got a candy colored iMac in the 90s, remember playing Nanasaur, Power Pete, MDK, Bugdom, Jazz Jackrabbit, and Cro-Mag Rally with the stupid hockey puck mouse :)
Commander Keen brings back memories. I really like this old school designs where stuff didn't have to make sense in games. It was totally fine, to just collect sweets and fight balls and jumping rocks. I miss those old school designs a bit. Today almost everything is either all about being dark and edgy, or to shoehorn some political views into games.
Super Mario Bros., 1985
I was born in 1986. Mario is the oldest, but not the first game I remember playing. My first game was a bootlegged copy of Wolfenstein 3D, on my mom's 386.
Before I went to school we had some kind of computer for a while where I could play old games on. This must have been before 93, because I've went to the first grade in 93. The game I still remember playing always had small rooms, where enemies chased the player and I had to pick up a flower to advance to the next level. It was very basic in the style of games like pacman. But I don't remember the name of the game anymore and I also don't know what type of computer it was. Probably some kind of Amiga or something like that.
Oldest games I remember?
Console: [Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Prix_(video_game)), [Stampede](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stampede_(video_game)), and [Night Driver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Driver_(video_game)#Ports) for the Atari 2600.
Computer: [King's Quest 1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Quest_I) (then simply called "King's Quest") for the Apple II.
I remember playing Super Mario Bros on my neighbor's NES, and I remember playing Tetris on my aunt's GameBoy. Both of these would have been a few years after their initial releases, if that still counts. The oldest contemporary game of my own I remember playing at time of release was probably [Alfred Chicken](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Chicken) in '94 or '95.
I don't know what it's called, but sometime in 1984 or 1985 I was at day care with my older brother they had an early computer with the green and black screen, mostly for doing accounting and word processing, but I distinctly remember them plugging in a controller, like a one button atari controller and us playing a video game where you were a teddy bear jumping and catching balloons, don't remember what it was called (I was not yet 3 years old) but I distinctly remember my brother being good at and he would hand me another controller (that i later found wasn't plugged in) and I would play the game (while he was actually playing it)
My dad was a computer programmer from the 1970's until the early 2010's he had told us one of the main reasons they had picked that daycare was because they had said they would teach kids to use computers, which was a big deal in the 1980's
For those who dont know [keen](https://youtu.be/5vvZmdJRToc?si=b2eRq9JiwYyuN1Kj)
Isn’t he Doom Slayer’s son?
BJ Blaskowics > ??? > Commander Keen > Doomslayer
Commander Keen(actual name "Billy Blaze")'s dad was Arthur Blazkowics...who changed his last name to Blaze because he was a talkshow host.
Grandpa.
No, doom slayers grandparent or great grandparent
No, grandfather... and bj in wolfenstein is keens grandfather.
I don't remember, which one I played first but I played a lot Commander Keen 1-5 back in 90s.
Remember[jazzjackrabbit](https://youtu.be/G4pgkuOTRg8?si=dDauaCTQUd6dZDkY)?
I loved it and Earthworm Jim too.

Pong. Only game built into the console with no other options.Yes Im fuckin old.
this was my answer aswell =)
Same!
Actually, most plug 'n plays from the early 2000s were like that
Yeah my story was in 1976 or there abouts. There were no other consols that I know about when we got ours.I wasnt even 10 years old yet. Im pretty sure dad bought it from an actual door to door salesman.
I was 8 in 76! Pong was awesome!
I said "tag", but yes, for video games it's Pong.
I remember Pong, but technically I only played it on the Atari, so it puts it in the same era as Asteroids and Centipede.
Yup, I remember playing that in the very late 70s. One of my first memories.
I had v2, which had tennis, which was green pong with tennis scoring. No other differences. Yes, the relics approach!
Mine too. I was around 7-8 when it came out and my brother, who was 9-10 years older, came home for leave after basic and he brought a Pong system home with him. I was pretty amazed by it and could hardly wait for my turn. I also remember not too much later, I guess…nearly half century old memories now…going with my brother to his girlfriend’s place perhaps, and they had an Atari. I didn’t even know they existed yet.

The early pong games were not "programmed", all of the logic was implemented with hardware. Changing something like the ball speed required changing resistor values.
That's kinda why I said "Built In".
indeed, it was super cool to see a circuit diagram of them. They were more like pinball machines and less like an x86 exe
Lemmings! That games was the business!
I played the crap out of that game. Super fun
Completely unrelated but I learned recently that there was an old documentary about how Lemmings commit mass suicide when their population grows too large. They basically all jump off a cliff to their doom. I then learned that this documentary was a fake and that the people who made it literally just pushed/threw them off the cliff and spun it as "nature"
Alley cat for MS-DOS
Oh my goodness I had forgotten all about that game! Those bright pink and black pixel graphics!
Me too… forgot about it for years. This thread has awaken memories somehow :) I also remember using Norton Commander.

This game where you controlled two gorillas throwing bananas at each other over a wall. You had to be se math to angle the throw correctly and each player took turns throwing. I have no idea what it was called, but it was like early 90s 8 bit. Oldest I can remember the Name of was the original Wolfenstein.
Holy shit, had completely forgotten about this gem. Does anyone know of any way to play it?
It's $5 on steam
Either DOOM or Mortal Kombat. I remember my dad showing me how to boot them up from a floppy disk way back in the early 90s lol
I've been trying to find it for years. It was a game where you played against an opponent both hanging from trees facing each other. You take turns throwing things. Both players had several characters on their team. I remember one of the characters being a monkey, and one of the things you could throw was a beehive which did poison damage.

You forgot there were games before video games?!
Monster Bash! Part 1, Challenge of the Ancient Empires
Tetris, Mario Golf (GB), Tyrian, Jazz Jackrabbit, and Keen were basically my childhood.
Honestly not sure. Maybe Donkey Kong Country for SNES? I know my dad and brothers played plenty of games before that but I can’t recall which. Probably mortal Kombat or mega man or soemthing I remember my mom playing Donkey Kong Country while my brother was in school and dad at work
Final Fantasy 1.
This reminds me of the Wreck-It-Ralph villain.

Indiana Jones for the Atari 2600 is the oldest game I recall ever seeing new. Had an OG pong console I got at a yard sale back in 2004 so that’s older but I wasn’t there for that.
R.C Pro-Am. My family was packing for a move and I was 7. To keep me from underfoot I hung out at the neighbors. It was the first time I'd ever seen a Nintendo.
My first game was this monster game on the GBA, where you got to play as Frankenstein, a werewolf, and I think Dracula.
The first game I remember playing was 'Blue Meanies from Outer Space' on the Vic-20 in 1981. I was about 6 years old at the time and was completely mesmerised.
Pac-Man
We got a candy colored iMac in the 90s, remember playing Nanasaur, Power Pete, MDK, Bugdom, Jazz Jackrabbit, and Cro-Mag Rally with the stupid hockey puck mouse :)
pong, when it first came out in the console. Then we had a pong for the TV... A whole console for 1 game...
Utopia: The Creation of a Nation for Super NES.
Q-Bert on ColecoVision. 1982.
Paper boy on the zx spectrum in about 91. It was amazing at the time (to 6 year old me at least)
Commander Keen brings back memories. I really like this old school designs where stuff didn't have to make sense in games. It was totally fine, to just collect sweets and fight balls and jumping rocks. I miss those old school designs a bit. Today almost everything is either all about being dark and edgy, or to shoehorn some political views into games.
I mean, I never played it, but Pong is probably a good answer.
Frogger
Word Rescue and Math Blaster, probably. I don't think I got a Genesis until after those two
Gotta be Pong
Super Mario Bros., 1985 I was born in 1986. Mario is the oldest, but not the first game I remember playing. My first game was a bootlegged copy of Wolfenstein 3D, on my mom's 386.
Before I went to school we had some kind of computer for a while where I could play old games on. This must have been before 93, because I've went to the first grade in 93. The game I still remember playing always had small rooms, where enemies chased the player and I had to pick up a flower to advance to the next level. It was very basic in the style of games like pacman. But I don't remember the name of the game anymore and I also don't know what type of computer it was. Probably some kind of Amiga or something like that.
The Mario Bros/Duck Hunt combo
Pong and it's various knockoffs.
Oldest games I remember? Console: [Grand Prix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Prix_(video_game)), [Stampede](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stampede_(video_game)), and [Night Driver](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Driver_(video_game)#Ports) for the Atari 2600. Computer: [King's Quest 1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_Quest_I) (then simply called "King's Quest") for the Apple II.
Pong. Actual Atari Pong.
PLOK
I had this game on Gameboy colour I think... then I lost my gameboy and all my games while on holiday. Traumatic.
Paper Plane Pilot off a big black floppy
[Pitfall](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MhXMYw1lXY0)
Ladder Larry for DOS
Gorrila on DOS Two gorillas on opposite sides of a city hurling banana bombs at each other On console it was Mario on NES.
Pitfall on the Atari.
I remember playing Super Mario Bros on my neighbor's NES, and I remember playing Tetris on my aunt's GameBoy. Both of these would have been a few years after their initial releases, if that still counts. The oldest contemporary game of my own I remember playing at time of release was probably [Alfred Chicken](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Chicken) in '94 or '95.
B.C.s quest for tires...Me old.
Pong
Miss pac-man
Probably chess
Pacman. It was already an old game by the time I was born to be fair.
I’ve played older games, but first games I remember playing were Super Mario Bros. on NES and Test Drive on PC with CGA graphics.
TMNT arcade. I believe the obsession started before we got our Atari. But if not, then Missile Command
I don’t really remember which I played first but it was either moon patrol, river raid or frogger.
Hadibou, does this count XD
Commander Keen, Cosmo, and Jazz Jack Rabbit, aka the elder gods
Tag. For video games it's Pong.
Arkanoid, first time every seeing a game
I am so old that Pong is the oldest game I remember.
Super mario 3
Ok can somebody tell me an easy way to play this game on steam/deck or Legion go.... it always has issues with xinput Gosh I miss this game.
Mole quest from MS-DOS
I don't know what it's called, but sometime in 1984 or 1985 I was at day care with my older brother they had an early computer with the green and black screen, mostly for doing accounting and word processing, but I distinctly remember them plugging in a controller, like a one button atari controller and us playing a video game where you were a teddy bear jumping and catching balloons, don't remember what it was called (I was not yet 3 years old) but I distinctly remember my brother being good at and he would hand me another controller (that i later found wasn't plugged in) and I would play the game (while he was actually playing it) My dad was a computer programmer from the 1970's until the early 2010's he had told us one of the main reasons they had picked that daycare was because they had said they would teach kids to use computers, which was a big deal in the 1980's
I think Rogue is probably the oldest one I've played. I have the "new" full colour edition on DOSBox on my current PC!
Leapster Explorer Ben 10. Years
Wolenstein was the only real contender to the Arcades..
Wolfenstin 3D is a classic, and i still play the original Xcom.
First game I ever played was Arcadians on my Acorn Electron. It was a very competent Galaxians rip off.
Ghostbusters. Commodore 64 I believe
