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 :)
First game I remember playing is a DOS game called Snipes. It was at my stepdads work and I remember getting smoked by his workmate as we were playing it LAN and I remember crying haha.
It’s weird reading through the posts and seeing how vivid these moments are for some. I think I may have a memory problem because it’s honestly hard to say what I played first. It was sometime around 1988, and my guess is original Mario for NES since it’s the first console my parents got, and it came with it. I remember playing it but it’s hard to say if it was the first since I may have played something at a relative or friend’s house. Played a lot of random NES games after that. My parents also owned an intellivision so it could have been something on that as well.
how about the earliest game that had a profound impact on you? Ultima Exodus for me. it had an immersive world you could explore way bigger than zelda. lots of hidden side quests and some mind-blowing secrets. i mean, tracking the phases of the twin moons was actually part of the game. some of the secrets were essential to completing the game which is why i never was able to complete it until i used a walk-through years later.
years later as a veteran DM, it was absolutely the most influential game i ever played.
