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!

I can't remember which came first, my mom got some games for her Commodore 64, or my dad getting a used Intellivision from one of his buddies at work.

It was either Pitfall or Frog Bog depending on which came first.

Rocky's Boots on Apple II. It was an educational logic game using logic gates to complete puzzles.

All of the games in the 42 in 1 cartridge for the Nintendo Famicom.

Mostly flash games on some websites. However, the main one I remember was Colin McRae Rally 2.0. Getting a cheap controller with force feedback was amazing.

The home version of pong when I was 4 years old.

My friend's dad owned a small local cable station so he had access and money to get all the latest crap.

I remember he also had a brand new beta max, and I was just this innocent 4 or 5 year old kid and I was asking why the time was flashing and the adults didn't know. So I just walked up and programmed it. They praised me as being a literal genius and I was like you idiots It's just a fucking clock.

croc for ps1; first game and system I owned - this was when ps2 just came out time wise - had to sneak buy the ps1 and hide from rents

Sheesh. That's a tough one. My memory is trash from TBIs... Maybe pong, or space invaders? I think it would be something that was in an arcade. Our first console was the NES with SMB, but we definitely played in arcades before that.

First game I remember:

Playing a friend's copy of Pokémon Red. Many a late night was spent getting as far as I could without being allowed to save.

First games I remember owning:

Sega Genesis 6-PAK with Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Revenge of Shinobi, Columns, and Super Hang-on. Mostly played Sonic. Mom forbade us from playing the "violent" games, so we'd get in trouble if we were caught playing GA, SoR, or RoS.

First game I have fond memories of:

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage. This was one of the first games we got when we upgraded from the Genesis to a PS2, and I played it many times over from the start before we invested in a memory card. The first game I actually beat start to finish without saving. I fondly remember 100%ing it over a weekend, leaving the PS2 on overnight while I slept.
