Shortie Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Something I always remember is how old I was when I played my first ever video game and I am sure many others will be the same in remembering the first ever video game they played as well. I can always remember it being on the Atari as my dad was the one who introduced me and my brothers to video games but I can never remember the game I played at the time. Do you remember how old you were when you played your first video game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 About 5 or 6. My family was living in what we call a counsil home at the time (For those outside the UK, it's basically a property owned buy the government that consul Tennant's rent from the local authorities.), but the counsil houses were being renovated. Because of the work, we were rehoused in something akin a trailer home for number of weeks until the renovation was complete. I always rembered that because that time we spent in that tempory home was over Christmas that year. One of our presents was a Atari. I can't remer if it was a 7800 or 2600 Junior (The consoles are very similar in appearance), but I was playing 2600 games on it. More specifically, a 32 in 1 mulicart featuring a lot of 2600 classics. Even by the standards of the day the games were primitive, but they were fun.

Ravenfreak Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I was 4 years old when I first played a video game. My cousins brought over their Sega Genesis to my grandparents' house and one of my cousins convinced me to play Sonic the Hedgehog. I was hesitant at first, but then I grabbed the controller and started playing the game. I was instantly hooked and I remember I couldn't beat the first act of Green Hill Zone for the longest time. That's when my other cousins told me the level select cheat code, and I put it in and tried to beat Scrap Brain Zone. Shortly after I played Sonic, I played my dad's old Sears Pong console. He gave it to a friend shortly after I started playing video games though... I wish he held on to it. 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debashis Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I was probably 4 years old when I played a video game for the first time. It was on a Nintendo Super NES Classic. I don't remember exactly what game I played though. Probably mario. On pc, the first game I ever played was Roadrash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
