I wouldn't know my very first game, I literally grew up with my older brothers constantly playing all kinds of games on the MSX so it's pretty vague to me. I probably played my first games at the age of 3 on that system :p


Great game.

My very first computer, as in not console, game was probably something I played in school! Granny's Garden, was on the Acorn computers....

Deus Ex was my first proper 3d game what we'd call a game these days.

And it's left a lasting impression.

Some educational CD-ROM game released around 95, granted I was <10.

EDIT: First game I remember though was something on a megadrive, not sure of name.

First PS1 game : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayman_(video_game) ( i think)

First game ever is a tough one, like Clix i played a lot of random games when i was younger, Sega was the first proper console i had so i'd say Golden Axe or Streets of Rage woulda been my first
