the earliest video game you remember playing?

The earliest I remember playing would have to be Super Mario Bros for the NES. The one that was two games in one. Mario and Duck hunt.

Pong...
Does that even count?

Oh wait!
Asteroids!

That has to count, right?

Mmm Asteroids was awesome! Pew pew!

Bought the Atari 2600 when I was 7 with money I got selling my toys I didn't play with at a yard sale. Didn't have any money left over so I played a lot of Combat until Christmas.

Remember having this on an old Texas Instruments Computer around 84 or so

It's because modern games have an identity crisis. They think they are movies. multiple-ending storylines, cut scenes that drag on and on, voice actors, character development, etc. They are basically animated movies that you control. NOTHING like what games started out as. In fact, us and them are so far apart that they refer to us as "casual gamers".

On top, my first game was "Adventure" for the Atari 2600. I played it at a demo in Sears. Took my about 10 seconds to die, of course. but I was hooked for life!

Zelda: ocarina of time when I was 8

And finally, the one *everyone* in the neighborhood had: Head to Head Football!

the earliest game i remember playing was originalo zelda on the first nintendo classic

I don't know which one was first, so I'm gonna name them both - Aztec and Karateka.

But Aztec was simply amazing back then...

Good times (:

I still have my atari 7800 in storage with
all my games.
The first video game system I remember
was a commodor?not sure how to spell.

m*a*s*h* on the atari 2600. im really surprised i remember playing it. it took me a while to realize what it was, as i could only remember the opening music to that game:

For me it would definitely have to be Super Ghosts 'n Ghousl for the Super Nintendo (SNES).

It was awesome when you were 3 or 4 years old and if I'm not mistaken they actually did a revamp for the playstation to called Maximo.

Resident evil on the playstation 1 when i was about 6... at that point it had been out for about 5 years so i had no idea why (or how) i got it, it wasn't exactly the must have game in 2000.
Oh well... maybe it's just the earliest i remember... that bit where you encounter the first zombie in the mansion and it goes into a cinematic where he turns around and looks at you will forever be burned into my memory as the most terrifying moment of my life !

super mario bros./duck hunters thats the earliest game I can remember playing
