I don't remember my 1st game I played, but maybe you can share some information about yours! If you remember.
My first game was BOMBER MAN , a kind of classic game putting bombs to destroyed enemies, Such an old one...LOL!!!
Mine is CastleVania (known in Japan as Akumajo Dracula). It depicts the exploits of a vampire hunter named Simon Belmont, who inherited a whip brimming with holy power from his father. Because of an ancient blood feud between Simon's ancestors and the vampire, Count Dracula, it is Simon's calling to enter Dracula's Castle and slay its landlord. -sigh- good old times H@H@H@
My dad brought home some games from his friends one day, they included: Microsoft Entertainment Pack, Blockout, Sokoban, Commander Keen 1.
Mine was a game on the Commodore 64 i can't remember the name but you needed to fly a plane and avoid bridges and enemy boats.
Oh! River Raid! I used to have that too! So scrap what I said, I forgot about the C64: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Raid
I have played Mario bros and most of people played Mario game series first time as it is one of the most favorite small video game. I also still love to play it whenever I got tired of these new games,
