Mine was probably Digimon World (PS1). I remember that my family shared a save, and boy howdy anytime my turn landed on the in-training digimon we’d be screwed, because I trained them so shoddily we’d get the sentient puke monster.

But my first game I played with any sort of competence was Herdy Gerdy (PS2), a cute puzzle game where you’d herd made-up animals with instruments and stuff. I 100%ed it as a kid, but it really does still hold up!

Tell me, Burggit people, what were your first games? 😺

    My first experience was when a friend let me play Pokemon Blue on their Gameboy. I wondered why it was called Blue when it was monochrome.

    Later on I’d ‘borrow’ my brother’s GBC to play Donkey Kong Country. That game really kicked my ass, but started me down the gaming path.

    I think the first game I finished by myself was the Finding Nemo GBA game lol.

    Shit, I was so young when I played my first video games, trying to think what it could possibly have been. It was probably some random SNES game my dad had before my parents even thought of letting their kid play games (or having kids for that matter), or Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo (or some other Humongous Entertainment game). Putt-Putt is probably the earliest game I played with any sort of competency. The kingpin Super Mario World was probably the main game on the SNES.

    I think my first game was Super Smash Brothers for the Nintendo64, at least that’s the game I remember playing most often. We had a Nintendo64 for as long as I can remember.

    I played that one a lot with friends who would come over, as well as family members. Our N64 didn’t have a memory card, so we never unlocked any new characters other than the ones which came pre-unlocked. That was the case with the majority of our N64 games.

      What was your character of choice in Smash 64?

      I mained Samus way back when and absolutely destroyed my friends. We used to play stupid 20-stock games (yes they lasted forever 😂). I could almost take my friends in a 3v1.

        I think I mostly played Pikachu, though I also remember a few instances of playing Fox,

    The first game that I consciously remember playing was the Zelder: A Link to the Past for the SNES. I must’ve been 5 or 6 at the time.
