What is the first video game you ever play? For me it was pong back in 1973. Yeah, I’m an old fart.

Dragons Lair and Galaga were a couple of favorites. Along with Tempest and Two Tigers.

The Magnavox Odyssey 300. My first console and the first video game I ever played.

So basically a pong clone.

From what I can remember, I'd say some Mario game on those fat grey Gameboys. Forgot which Mario game it was but I just kept dying at the spider level.

The first game I remember playing is Super Mario 64, but I feel like I played something else before then at my friend's house because that's also the first game I owned and I highly doubt I never played a game before that. Could've possibly been the SNES Mario or maybe Legend of Zelda.

First game I truly played as in I was conscious enough and got enough time to genuinely play it was probably Joe Montana Football for Sega Genesis.

Me too. My uncle had Pong at his house; still remember playing it for the first time. Damn, we're old.

First game I remember spending any time with was a rather strange one.

Wasn't allowed to have consoles, but we had a commodore 64 and I played President elect a lot. so much so that I have vivid memories of being so close to finishing the game, having it crash and having a giant meltdown....

Pong for me too. Some time in the late 70's at a store. They had it setup for free play to draw in the kids.

LOL, this game had a glitch where you could run into the WR path, let him get stuck, and then run and pick off the ball. If you did it right, they didn't call PI.
