I see all these people starting off with quite good games, and then I look to myself and realised that I'm more of a minority than I thought.

Being born between the Windows 98 and Xp, the first video game I played was likely Windows Solitaire, Full Tilt! Pinball, minesweeper, or ms paint if you count that. At the time I was born, my family had no video games or console (though they might have had an Atari, but that wasn't set up), and only a computer, so the first video games I would be playing would be for the PC.

For the first games my parents got me, which were for the PC, it seems that I was born in that time where most parents didn't have much recognition for games, so I got what seemed familiar to them, which was shovelware for Disney and Nickelodeon things. I remember having a Scooby-Doo mystery game, a Mickey-Mouse adventure game, a Curious George Adventure Game, and multiple Tonka games.

I remember my first video game platform being the Playstation 2, and I played Spongebob and Simpson shovelware on it. However, I did get some good games like Road Rage and the Battlefronts. Later on, I got a gameboy advance. This is probably where I first got something not tied to something I already knew. I got Super Mario Bros 2 and 3, being the first Mario games I had.

Console games would seem to take up more space than PC, and that would stay like that for a long time. I still played some PC games like Star Wars: Empire At War. I also played online games like Bloon Tower Defence and games on sites like the Disney channel web page or the cartoon network web page. My family got a Wii and I started to play Wii games like Wii Sports. My first MMO would be Toontown, and I would be playing that for quite some time despite not having a subscription.

My gaming style would stay kinda stagnant for my early years until I became a teenager. I played video games, but I was not in the video game culture. I never watched let's plays and only very few tutorials. My games would be mostly shovelware with some broadly known video game franchises like Mario. I never got to play something like Pokemon. It would continue that way somewhat even when I had a WiiU and a 3DS.

Things greatly changed when I found one game in early 2013: Minecraft. From there, I found myself within the gaming culture. I got onto game forums, started to watch let's plays, went onto servers, and started to mod my games.

From then on, I've done a lot, I've got a steam account, and played hundreds of hours of other games, and delved onto other forums.

And there it is, my gaming history. I thought that it was something more similar to many people, but seeing many people say how their game was something like Mario or Pokemon, I've realised that I got quite the unique story. I'm not sure if I should be glad or sad for that.

 

[Vance_Meridian]

The "Super Mario Bros./ Duck Hunt/ World class track meet" combo cartridge for the original NES.

 

[kevintheradioguy]

Proud to say, it was DOOM. Shortly followed by original Warcraft, and Kyrandia in odd 2, 3, 1 order %)

 

[Archdemon]

Hmmm when I was 3 I begged my sister if I could play Pokemon yellow on the gameboy advance. Then i played and deleted her save file when she got a pikachu on the very first route which I believe is extremely rare. She was pissed.

Anyway that's the first game I remember playing.

 

[swamp fairy]

Probably Sonic on the desktop or Mario Kart on Super Nintendo.

 

[VictusXIII]

The first game that I ever remember playing was A boy and his blob on the NES. Parents got it for me thinking it would be easy.. all I can remember was that it was not. Not at all.

 

[Dawnster]

Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for Nintendo. First game I ever beat, too.
