#Nintendo #SEGA #Atari - Ігри
I am so happy that someone born in 1992 (Zion) has such an old game as their first game. I remember mine being Alley Cat for the IBM PC which I played in 1985. But that game came out 6 years after Atari Bowling. :D Good on you Zion for experiencing gaming from the 70's & 80's in your childhood :D
Zion is 30!?
@@stewartmoore5158 older or younger than you imagined? I mean, I'm 40, So I would consider Both Alex and Zion being youngsters. :)
Alley Cat was great! One of my first also
@@PixelShade I thought he was about 18! If he’s 30, I need to know his secret… edit: I was thinking of Felix lol (My bad)
@@stewartmoore5158 hahaha. Okay, I DO get your initial surprise! :D
Watching and listening to the footage of Bowling on the Atari 2600 really takes me back. A pretty solid game!
By the extremely modest standards of that system.
Hard to say what my first arcade game was, perhaps Pac Man or Tempest. The first Atari 2600 game I remember playing was Adventure.
I’m an 80s kiddo and my first game was either Oregon Trail played on a computer at school, or Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt. My aunt bought us an NES around the same time. Both are great memories 😊
I was born in the 90s and my first game was Megaman 1 on the NES, i remember i had the NES on for like the whole day when i finally beat the game as it didnt have any password system. It was such a hard game and some stages especially the start on gutsman stage was brutal, same with ice mans stage with the flying platforms!
I was born in 1985 and the very first game I can remember playing was Astrosmash on The Intellivision at my grandmother's house. I was so enamored with videogames that it wasn't too long after that experience that my older brother and I got our very own NES and Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt. I have loved video games ever since ☺️
My first videogame was Brain Academy on the Nintendo DS. Everything about it is so nostalgic: the artstyle, the music, the sound effects, the menus... I was like 5
i was born 93 and what i remember my first games being, were Mario All Stars on the SNES and some random point and clicks on the PC. THOSE I MISS DEARLY.
Thats why i was ecstatic when the Switch received the likes of Pajama Sam and Freddi the Fish.
Also, do not sleep on Atari games. Lol they can be addictive like arcade games.
Look up Black Widow or Centipede on the Switch.
PAC-MAN on the Atari VCS (2600). We got it when I was 4 back in 1982. I was captivated by the bloops and bleeps.
My gaming really took off in 1987 when I got my NES Deluxe set for Christmas. It came with DUCK HUNT and GYROMITE. I was the weird kid who never got SUPER MARIO BROS. for his NES. But I did get THE LEGEND OF ZELDA that year and that was the beginning of the end. Nothing was as incredible as ZELDA and it has stuck with me to this day.
I love reminiscing on early gaming experiences. Thanks for such a fun subject and video.
man, I love conversations like this. Brings me back to the days of my childhood. I'm actually teary right now remembering my memories as a kid. I can recall the year and it was 2003 and I'm 8, whenever my mom asks me to buy something at the store I always stop by and peek at my neighbor's window watching kids that I don't really know playing Smash bros and was hoping if they would invite me in but they always closed me their window. Also when I was 4 or going 5 maybe 1997 or 1998 or 1999, that time I always visit a friend since they have a Famicom who I always ask to play with it instead of toys and that kid will just play with it for himself and I always beg for him to give me a turn since it only had 1 controller and my 1st game to play was Final fight NES. Life was hard at that time but glad I have my own NES mini now, a 3DS and Switch v2.
Nintendo is really a big part of my life.
For anyone wondering- the song Zion is singing is Janet Jackson's 'Together Again.' It doesn't use a sample from the game but it's hard not to hear the similarity and it was probably influenced by it, especially considering Michael Jackson's involvement in writing music for Sega games (most famously Sonic 3.)
Why don't you do the first games that you played on every platform that you own?
it will be fun xD
I was born in 1991 and when I was 7, one of my cousins was getting married and my parents had major roles in planning the wedding. So for roughly 2 weeks they needed to keep me occupied. They took me to the store said I could get a Game Boy and any game I wanted. I got a red Game Boy Color and Pokémon Red version along with a 20 pack of AA batteries. Best 2 weeks ever.
I was born in 1980, so my earliest game memory is on an old school Atari 2600! Snoopy and The Red Baron! Loved it then, love it now! My parents tell me that when I was a toddler, I used to love to play Frogger in the arcade. Though I'd jump the frog I to the road and leave him to die because I loved the sound. But Snoopy is my first memory.
Another snoopy person! My uncle had it (and still does) on his atari! I loved that game as a little kid!
This Nintendo channel is finally a full fledged gaming channel. Good for you guys.
Came across this video via my news feed. My first video game was Gradius for the NES; I was drawn in by the theme of the starting air battle. I was born in 1984 😊
Ya darn whippersnappers! Thanks for making me feel ancient.😆 My first game was also on the Master System, Alex. It was Miracle Warriors, and thus my eternal love for JRPGs was born. I was 15 at the time though. Then again, I did play a few Game And Watch units before that… Fun video guys!
Legend of Zelda for NES, department stores used to have a small TV set up in the middle of the store with a NES hooked up so shoppers could sample it. My brother and I would always make a beeline for this exact spot every time our Mom took us to there. 🤘🏼
My first video game was Sonic 2. I have a very vivid memory of being 4 years old, sitting in the basement of my parents’ house on a summer night and taking turns playing Aquatic Ruins on a very tiny color tv with my older brothers
Born in 86' so.. Burning Rubber on Amstrad was the first, then Mario Bros on NES, the atari games on a TV BOY. And the utterly terrifying 'Grandmas Garden' in school on the BBC Computer.
Oooh Alex that sonic game was also one of my first games! Soooo much fun.
I'm from 96 so actually I was playing this when everyone of my friends were playing the PS2. But they preferred coming to my house and playing Sonic, Alex kid, and others!
My grandma has a sewing room too! It even had little black and white tv in there too (now she has a color tv in there), never played games on it, but she also has an old computer in there that she plays Mahjong on.
For years I thought that Donkey Kong Country was my first game, because I remember getting it and my SNES on the same day. But when I asked my dad, he told me that Super Mario Bros. 3 was the first game I ever played.
Apparently, my first babysitter, who I don't remember at all, had a NES, and let me play Mario 3. He said I would go to World 1-2 and just slide down the hills over and over.
I do remember playing Mario 3, as part of Mario All-Stars, but I had no idea it was my first game.
Honorable mention to Lion King for SNES. My 2nd babysitter had a SNES, which I wasn't allowed to play, but I remember watching the older kids play, while I pretended to be asleep
My mom got me a Super Nintendo and super Mario world was my first game. It didn’t last long though as I spilled soda on it and ruined it.
According to old family videos, Super Mario World was the first game I saw, though I didn't play it at the time. Ice Climbers was the first game I ended up playing when I was five.
Battle from Philips Videopac 4 on the Philips Videopac G7000, the European version of the Magnavox Odyssey 2. The game itself was from 1978, but I played it around the turn of the 90s.
Wow, trying to remember what the first video game I played was is actually quite hard. If we discount handheld electronic games (I had quite a few of them early on, but they hardly count as _video_ games), my very first video game must have been Space Invaders, which I remember playing at someone else's house on their Atari, at a time before my sister was born (so I must have been 3 or 4 years old). It's either that or some actual arcade cabinet game (I was born in the 70s, arcade cabinets were all the rage when I grew up), although I can't remember which one. But my money is on Space Invaders as the very first.
Born in 86 in Ireland. First game was Armalyte on my uncle's Commodore 64. It's a vertical scrolling shooter which, to my surprise, actually holds up pretty well today
born 86 as well, first game was ice climbers,zelda or mario on the NES!
My earliest gaming memory is watching my dad playing a link to the past on the Wii virtual console. Zelda is now my favorite gaming franchise.
I don't remember what officially my first game was but there are a handful I remember on NES between Mario 1, Duckhunt, Excitebike, Rad Racer, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Gradius, Metroid, Zelda...to name a few
Zion singing Janet Jackson was so unexpected and I loved it
First game I can remember was Frogger on the Atari 2600. Accidentally pressed too hard on the joystick and ran straight to the top, completing the level. Good times.
an older relative had an NES before me, and we played Double Dribble, a basketball game. this was the first game i remember playing. i didn't know anything about glitches, but DD had one where there was a spot on the court where you basically couldn't miss. my relative wiped the floor with me, and i was SO angry i swore that i would get an NES for christmas, get Double Dribble, and practice until i got better. i got the NES, forgot all about my plan, never owned a copy of Double Dribble, but fell in love with video games, so i have that going for me....which is good.
Snoopy by Nintendo. A small table top game where snoopy hit notes to stop the birds from waking up.
Way back in 1983.
I was born in 1991 and the first videogame I remember playing is Super Mario 64 at a friend's place. We loved spinning Bowser around and throwing him off the platform. That was before I went to school. The first console I owned was the first Game Boy in yellow. Before Pokémon Blue I played an old racing game with scrolling backgounds and F1 vehicles.
Officially I’ll say it was the OG Super Mario. But i feel like I first played Paperboy at a friends house. I remember it being so realistic and terrifying.
I played a lot of edutainment games on the computer - Jump Ahead and Woody the Pencil mostly. The first games I played for fun that I remember were Spooky Castle with my mother, and Bugs Bunny Lost in Time and Speedy Eggbert were the first I played by myself.
My first ever owned video game was Sonic 2. I was in the 4th grade and it came with my Sega Genesis.
While Sonic has had a rocky career, this was a great game to start on. Tails was the perfect companion, the level design was top notch, the momentum speed made speed running the first few levels a blast, Super Sonic was and still is one of the coolest power-ups ever made, and its only matched by Sonic Mania. Truly my first game was gaming bliss.
The first video game I ever played was Super Mario Bros. on my uncle's NES down in the basement. Still remember it playing on that old tiny TV sitting on a table almost too tall for me to see the screen. I couldn't beat the first level, couldn't even tell which mushrooms could hurt or help me, and had no platforming capability at all. If there was a jump I would run into the enemy or fall into the pit. I didn't know which way was up, but no matter how bad I was at it, I was hooked for life.
Pole Position II on Atari 7600. That was my first video game. I remember playing it at my dentist’s office when I was little.
Flimbo's Quest on the Commodore C64. Only seven levels but felt like an epic adventure
My first game was Super Mario Sunshine when I was 3 years old in 2003.
As for me, three things I list as my first game depending on what you define as qualifying: AiAi Banana Catch, a McDonald's Happy Meal Toy from 2003 akin to a Game & Watch. VTech Little Smart PC Mouse, a toy laptop from late 1996 with 25 activities which may-or-may-not count as games. And of course Wii Sports/Wii Play, they themselves need no introduction, but it was Christmas 2010 that I was introduced to this which finally opened the door to true video games.
There were some EC rated PC titles I was familiar with prior to the Wii, along with some online Shockwave titles. But because I never had a chance to touch the keyboard or mouse back then, these were therefore disqualified. Apon opening the dusty Belkin CD binder, I see that some of them were actually rated E. A title of particular interest to me, is The Mystery of Veggie Island. If I can figure out how, I may try to reverse-engineer it and port it to Switch someday. If I succeed, how hard could it be to get permission from Comcast to publish it?
I still have the AiAi Banana Catch and all of the Sonic "Game and Watches" from 2004. I've spent so many hours playing that AiAi game through the years.
@@Kevember Unfortunately for me, I haven't seen mine since 2016. I don't know if it's still around. Hopefully it is.
@@Nathaniel_E_Dearing If you're interested you can get it on eBay for about $10.
@@Kevember Wouldn't be the same. Besides, it's probably in a drawer or box I haven't checked yet. Or maybe my brother has it.
so not only do i share felix's name, but also birth year?
that's really cool idk.
My parents bought a Hanimex console in the 70’s. It was released around the time of the Atari 2600, possibly before. They had a sports collection, which was basically 9 different versions of Pong and a target shooting game. I then harangued them into buying a motorcycle jumping game, which you could beat by listening to the tone of the engine.
Nobody really remembers them.
I remember playing my first game. It was 2007 a Gray DS Lite and New Super Mario Bros. 3 year old me paved the way for so much more...
My first game was super Mario advance 2 (super Mario world) on the GBA. I got a red GBA SP from my cousin as a hand me down when she got the original DS back in 2005. So many memories with that game!!!!
By the time Felix has kids they will think BotW is ancient and antiquated.
Your first game was in 2006? You make me feel old.
Kevin Bayliss mentioned the exact same machine as Alex, he talked about how he grew up with it and showed off playing it as well. I watched it on DK creations channel.
I'm not sure what my first game was, I remember we had a Master System and a SNES because of my older brother, and it's either Sonic from the Master System, same as Alex or Super Mario Kart, loved the discussion and listening to the Sonic songs again :)
Probably something on the PS1. I can't remember any names, but the only games I can vaguely remember playing on it are a racing game, a platformer and a game based on a movie.
My first game was Smurfs on the Colecovision. Move to the right jump over stuff.
my dad had a NES, SNES & N64...
and I did play with him and my sister.
Mario Kart. Dr Mario. Super Mario Bros 2. Super Mario World. Yoshi's Island. Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, & 3.
Destruction Derby. Super Smash Bros. Killer Instinct. Mortal Kombat. Street Fighter.
I was young enough to NOT get very far in single player.
So I played all of those with my dad and sister more often than alone.
My dad also had Super Metroid, his favorite game.
I was especially not good at that, so I chose to watch him play more than I played.
But MY 1st game...
My parents got me a Game Boy Advance as soon as it released when I was 7 years old.
and with it they got me Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, & Silver.
All. 5.
Those 5 were MY 1st games.
obviously I played Red and Yellow first, tho I can't remember which of the 2 was I played first.
on one hand CHARIZARD! I WANT A DRAGON!
on the other hand PIKACHU! ASH HAS A PIKACHU!
...sorry Blastoise...
So I played many NES, SNES, & N64 games almost always as 2nd or 3rd player first.
but MY 1st game was Pokemon Red & Yellow.
I remember seeing posters in stores for Pokemon Crystal, the NEW game.
Pokemon Crystal was the 1st game I asked my parents for.
It would not be the last.
I would eventually get Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, and LeafGreen.
Altho somehow I forgot to ask for Emerald.
I've only played Emerald on an emulator on my phone.
and to this day, Emerald really might be my favorite Pokemon game.
and I've played almost every single one.
it's certainly up there with Platinum and HeartGold.
I also got The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
and The Return Of The King.
and Golden Sun, but only the 1st half. lol
I did not get a GameCube until I was 10.
We had just moved.
My parents got me a GameCube... and The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
my 1st Zelda game.
and to this day, still my favorite game of all time.
I was born in 1997 and have 3 older brothers who played video games daily so I was introduced to games a very young age! The first game I remember playing was super mario world and I was about 4. I love how it look and it was really fun to play! I still consider it one of my favorite mario games ❤️
i think mine was something like Bombjack or Ghosts 'n' Goblins on an Amstrad. Still love both of them in any form I find them....first console game would have been Alex Kidd in Miracle World on the Master System, which I remember rather less fondly :)
I dunno what my first game is but I can narrow it down to a few and I am almost certain it was on the Gamecube. It was either Mario Sunshine, Sonic Adventure 1 or 2, Smash Melee or Luigi's Mansion. Those games have always just existed around me so it is impossible to say which I played first and to be honest I mostly just watched my brother play them. The first game that was actually mine however was Mario Kart Double Dash and the first game I ever asked for with no series attachment was Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. I just saw it in a shop and asked my Dad if I could have it.
My first video game was actually 2 games on Gameboy Advance when I was 4 in the early 2000’s, a baseball game and Mario Party Advance, I say both because they were given to me at the same time and it’s how I was introduced to Mario.
My first game that I ever played was Super Mario Bros for the NES, which was also my first ever console, and Super Mario Bros came with it, and I was about 10 years old at the time because in the UK, the NES didn’t come out until 1990 and that’s four years after its debut in the US in 1986 cause I feel old LOL.
My first game was Adventure Island (Hudson Soft Version) I still love it, but it's hard to find. Wonder Boy ended up being WAY more present in the zeitgeist. I'd like to go back and play the sequels some day.
I believe the first game I ever played was Whinnie the Pooh: Tiggers Honey Hunt on the N64. Absolute banger.
The first game I ever played was Super Mario World at my aunt and uncle's house. The first ones I ever owned were, I think, Super Mario Land 2 and Star Wars for Game Boy.
Just from the title alone I know this video will be wholesome. My first game was a Sonic plug n play that came with Sonic 1 + 2, Sonic Spinball and Dr Robtoniks Mean Bean Machine. I probably played the Sonic 1 first but my first conscious memory of playing a game I played 2. I'd always play sonic 2 in my grandma's room. She'd take a nap and told me I could play until 4pm because that's when her telenovellas started and I just remember playing Sonic 2 all the time. I remember how happy u was when I finally beat Chemical Plant zone and seeing Aquatic Ruin for the first time. Although it was my first game and I am now 20 I have still never beaten Sonic 2. I own so many versions of the game but I've never been able to beat the death egg robot but I've come so close in Origins because I finally understand how to damage him without dying.
COMBAT or Space Invaders on the 2600. Got both for Christmas in 1978.
My first video game was Super Mario Bros. Oddly enough, I recall playing this at a friend's home on the NES but, also on an arcade cabinet at Chuckie Cheese's. Wild times.
In comparison, my child's first game is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
It was probably Mario/Duck Hunt on the NES and Contra as well.
Of course mine is Mario/duck hunt. Had cousins who lived in the test market who visited with the system when I was really young. I was the first in the neighborhood to get one months later when the system released nationwide.
Love me some Alex 😂But missing Jon!🥲 All of you guy's rock love the show!
space invaders on my dads ibm computer on a green lit monitor screen with a big ass floppy disk, the ones that actually flopped when shaking it ;P
i think the gaming historian did mention janet jackson worked on that music, which later became her song?
Bridge Zone in 8-bit Sonic 1 is my favourite piece of Master System music. But it needs to be the slower PAL version
My first games (I got two along with my NES) were Batman and Super Mario Bros. Before I had a generic Atari Jr with over a hundred games built-in.
First I can remember was a c64 preschool game called Kindercomp. Looked it up on UA-cam and in all seriousness those blocky graphics and simple tunes took me waaaaay back 😆
I grew up playing Atari Bowling. I have the cart in my collection rather and Smurfs
Either Skifree or Comix Zone... the latter wasn't even the megadrive version, must have been the DOS version as it was a pack-in CD title with our Packard Bell PC. I was 3 or 4 years old and had to get my parents or 6 year old brother to boot up the PC whenever we played. We both sucked and couldn't even clear the massive jump at the end of the first stage, nor did we realise the pat rat's importance. We finally beat the game 7 years later after discovering the extra items cheat code (exclusive feature on the computer versions?)
Fast forward to today, and its our comfort food game that we can usually beat in about 40 minutes without cheats or save states on any platform.
Skifree is still impossible to beat, lol
I was born in 1984 and I’m pretty sure my first ever video game was the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt duo cartridge for NES. It may have also been the original Legend of Zelda but I’m leaning towards the former.
I don't remember truth be told. It was either an snes or genesis game. I played them since I can remember. My cousin had both and we were there all the time as a child so we played the the hell out of Sonic, Mario, the turtle games, Aladdin, among others. He had a ton for both. I do remember my first console that was my own. It was an n64 with Mario 64 and ridge racer 64.
My first game was Combat on the Atari 2600. My father explained it as “Cartoon that you can control yourself on TV” 😂
First game was probably a tie between Snoopy & the red Barron on the atari or a golf game my Grandad had on his old Amstrad. Since then we've owned every nintendo system growing up and oh man do I feel old..... and I'm the same age as the NES!
Alex your first game mirrors mine in the kitchen with a master system 2 but I had Alex the kid baked into mine so that was my first game :)
21:50 nope, Scunthorpe in the UK exists... maybe those letters in that order shouldn't exist... but it does.
My first game was a Frogger clone named Hopper on the Acorn Electron
My first home game? Mario Bros 1 and Duck Hunt! Pew pew!
It's a blur. I recall seeing Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt being played on a front-loading NES. As far as what I got my hands on a controller for, Super Mario World is likely. It could be PC shareware or an arcade cabinet, though.
I was born in 92 and I remember Sonic 2 for sure and I think Mario but I don't remember which one it would be.
I choked on my food with those Atari bowling sounds 😂
And yes, sometimes I watch UA-cam while having lunch lol.
Does anyone know if there is a way to play 8-bit sonic on modern consoles like Xbox or Switch? My brother and I had this on the master system and actually loved it. First game I remember playing though was Lemmings on my friends Amiga 500 and I was blown away.
Commodore 64 Wizard, I think. My parents still remember me asking how to spell Wizard so I could load the game when I was 4.
i don't remember the exact first game for me but it was either a commodore 64 game or atari 2600
My first video game was Angry Birds on the iOS! I loved it so much and was a gift to me!
My first ever game was Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War
My first game was Mario Land for the first gameboy
Let me say this I grew up with an original Xbox and the game I played the most was jungle hunt on taito legends. I’m 14 and I just got my switch and the first game I got was Mega man C legacy collection, even though I have a 3ds and played ocarina of time 3d and Mario 3d land
Retro Tracks were first in Mario Kart DS? Super Circuit on the GBA would like a word.
My first game is Super Mario 64 and it’s still the best game ever made in my opinion. Newer games are fun but none of them have that old game vibe 😂
Keystone Capers for the Atari 2600….oh sorry, Coleco Gemini was my first game I can remember.
Wow, I'm not sure what game I played first, I think it was either an Atari or NES game. Pong or Super Mario Bros. The earliest gaming memory I have is probably Alex Kidd though.
Chip and Dale. Unless you count snake on my first Nokia.
Pokemon Yellow for Gameboy Color. Purple See-Through Edition. 1999!
My kids (5 and 2) have both played Atari. Builds character dammit.
I don't think this was the first video game I played but Donkey Kong 64 is the only game I know for sure we had on the Nintendo 64 which is the first console we had in my house. I think I only remember this because I was stuck on the fish boss you had to fight with Tiny Kong and my brother sold it before I had the chance to finish it.
That was Lanky against Pufftoss, Tiny fought Mad Jack
@@u.dplaythroughs8486 It was a long time ago, I must be misremembering.
Though probably not my first ever video game, it certainly is the earliest game I can remember having an impact on me: Super Mario 64.
