  Super Mario Bros on the NES. I remember getting super frustrated and throwing a tantrum because I couldn’t figure out how to jump over the second hole. Hahahaha man I was pathetic.

    That first goomba killed me three times in a row. Took a little bit to figure out the timing.

    Hell yeah. I played duck hunt first, because my dumb ass didn’t understand a controller but cold BANG BANG at that fucking dog.

    Then I discovered Mario.

    Third was Dig Dug. I hate Dig Dug.

    Rainbow Island was my shit.

    DEC PDP 11

    Everyone else posting about Atari 2600, C-64, and NES. I think you may also win the thread on the only still supported platform with PDP 11 support extended to the year 2050.

      Same here. I really am ancient,lol. I’d thought it might have been a Magnavox console,but they were sears diehards(no pun intended) back then. Makes sense. Even had the giant cylinder paddles with it,but no gun.

  Well my first game I think it was Duck Hunt with my family and I didn’t understand how to play it lmao.

  But the game I’ve ever played alone for the first time was Mega Man & Bass on an zsnes emulator on our family pc.

  Mario/duck hunt for NES

  source
• dogslayeggs@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  I’m pretty sure it was Pong on a dedicated console from Sears. I remember playing Pong when I was super young, but I don’t remember if that was at the same time as us getting an Atari 2600 or not.

  • FenrirIII@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Was it pong with two gigantic, wired controllers with turn knows? That’s what we had

    source

    • dogslayeggs@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I can’t remember if it was the one with wired controllers or the one with one box that had two wheels

  Wolfenstein, in my dad's office on his work computer while he was teaching.

  Dad's colleague: [sticks his head in the door] Hey, what are you doing?

  Me: Killing Nazis with a Gatling gun.

  Colleague: Oh, well that's good [comes in to watch].

  Pokemon blue on gameboy or Super Mario 64… both were around the same time I think.

  Just got retroarch setup with all N64 games so the nostalgia train is about to start rollin’!

• isles@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  My family got Duck Hunt, Track & Field, and Mario as a package, though I sure remember a LOT of Centipede time.

  First PC game I remember was Super Solvers Image

  Or the Apple IIe Glider game was a real fun way to waste some classroom time, barring Oregon Trail. Image

  • Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Super Solvers was my shiiiiit!

    source
  • Vedlt@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Oh man, my family loved Super Solvers Midnight Rescue! I vividly remember playing that with my older siblings, but our monitor was green and black, no color, so I’d never actually seen it before in color. But the music stuck with me and probably sparked my love for In the Hall of The Mountain King.

    Also had Ernie’s magic shapes and colors… which was pretty hard to do when everything is green. What were my parents thinking buying a color matching game without a color monitor?

  I have very fond memories of playing Freddie Fish in our local library while my father thought I was going to children’s choir stuff (I hated it and was hanging out in the library instead, just to be back in time, when my father came to pick me up again).

  Got a NES with Mario and Gradius as a Christmas present. Opened the present with Gradius first and had no clue what it was but that would be the first game I ever played. Then running into the goomba in Mario like everyone did :)
