I bet no one has ever made a thread like this, ever. Ahem.
What was the first video game you've ever played, on what system, and how old were you?
Mine was, as typical as it is, Super Mario Bros. on Nintendo. Everyone just called it a Nintendo. I was four years old, and I didn't know which Nintendo it was exactly (and I still don't), or how popular this game was or wasn't, but I played it so much that I started involuntarily making Mario noises and music even when I wasn't playing it. Tada-tada-tada. Tada-tada-tada. Tada-tadatata-tadatata-tadatadatatadatatadatatata. Tada-tada-tada.
My parents took away the console after that for a few months. I eventually got it back with a bunch of new cartridges that had tons of different games on them, including Duck Hunt, Bomberman, Super Contra, Robocop, a cool ninja game the name of which I don't remember (Cage? Kage? Kain? Kuga?), and one flying game with cool graphics that I had never been able to find again later. And many others. Was TMNT one of those first games, or was it on a later version of Nintendo? Probably a later generation. Oh, and Felix the Cat. And Sonic... wait, have I crossed over into Sega? Sega came later. Sega MegaDrive, technically, but everyone just called it a Sega.
As for the first 3D game... I don't remember the exact first one, but one of the very first ones was Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. It blew me away in so many different ways, I was never the same again. I played that one many years later, on Sony (PlayStation, but everyone just called it a Sony). And the first PC game was almost certainly Baldur's Gate. Or Thief. Or Star Warts: Dark Forces (hated it, it seemed so old and outdated). Or some crap that I forgot because it wasn't good.
But the very first game was definitely Mario. Your princess is in another castle.
