Earliest Memory of Gaming

[BadRebelWolf]

What was your earliest memory pertaining to video games? (e.g. the first game you played, first time you saw someone playing a game, first purchase, etc.)

My First Memory: I believe was in 1996, at the store with my Dad (and possibly my older sister), we were purchasing our first Nintendo 64.

If we're discounting going to an arcade then I'd have to say my earliest gaming memory is going over to a friends house and discovering Super Mario Bros. on NES. It wasn't long after that that I had my own copy although it was not an NES . One of those old school knockoffs.

My earliest memory is being a 4 year old beating her (then) gamer mother at Tetris.

My earliest gaming memory is in 1996, when my family bought Sega Genesis. I played many great Genesis games such as Land Stalker, Crusader of Centy, King Bounty, Flink, Fantastic Dizzy, and many more...

I don't know that I could say what year it was, but I was young, pretty young, maybe four or five? My friend that lived next door had an older brother, and we snuck into his room and pulled out his Sega Genesis and played Sonic and Tails. That was my very first video game. I still love it to this day and have a copy. lol. Story ends with her brother coming home and kicking us out of his room. XD

My earliest memory of gaming is from when I was 5, maybe 7? It was during one summer when I spent nearly everyday at my babysitters house and her brothers had a sega genesis. I remember playing sonic the hedgehog 3 day in and day out just trying to beat it. I think I beat it maybe once. But ever since that summer I've always loved video games.

My earliest videogame memory was when I was probably around age three, and I wanted to play Super Mario World with my brother so badly. He agreed, by giving me an unplugged SNES controller. I guess I was pretty happy at the time.

I remember playing Mario Kart on my cousin's Nintendo 64 console. My sister and I loved that game to death. I was overwhelmingly disappointed when I visited them this summer and found that they'd gotten rid of it. I would have loved to inherit it, haha.

Playing Super Mario Bros. with my sister. I would get mad at her because she sucks

 

[Skunk]

Playing demo games(Sonic and some sort of RPG that I don't remember) on my old PS.

I can't remember year, but I was young. I was playing Star Wars Episode I podracers for the Nintendo 64. I still like that game.

Playing Pokémon Emerald on my couch at age 7.

My earliest memory of gaming would have to be Pokemon Leafgreen when I was about six. If only I could find it. . .

I can't remember year, but I was young. I was playing Star Wars Episode I podracers for the Nintendo 64. I still like that game.

I still really like that game as well, I think we still have a copy too. At one point we lost the first one, but later on bought another. In fact, look at what I just found:
