Title says it all, what was the first game you remember playing and had fond memories of?

For me it was the PS1, and hearing the OG Crash Bandicoot theme song never gets old for me, got it as my ringtone too!

The home version of pong when I was 4 years old.

My friend's dad owned a small local cable station so he had access and money to get all the latest crap.

I remember he also had a brand new beta max, and I was just this innocent 4 or 5 year old kid and I was asking why the time was flashing and the adults didn't know. So I just walked up and programmed it. They praised me as being a literal genius and I was like you idiots It's just a fucking clock.

Minecraft Buzzy Bees update. I still remember my first few days on the school computers, getting ore, digging a hole, finding a village...

I don't have the world anymore, but I have, as you say, fond memories.

Mostly flash games on some websites. However, the main one I remember was Colin McRae Rally 2.0. Getting a cheap controller with force feedback was amazing.

Backyard Football and Baseball for PC. I'm pretty sure there were some earlier puzzle games but those two had me loving sports and stats for years.

Crash Bandicoot was also my first game! I was only around 2 years old give or take. I enjoyed the NES and Sega genesis a lot more until I got a bit older as it was easier to get the hang of.

The second game I saw(but did not play) was tomb raider. It made me cry when the wolves jump scare you in the first level lol.

The very first game I remember was Alex Kidd on Master System II, my mother was always playing it!

The very first I played was probably NFS 3 on PC with my father. I remember playing it during the 1999 Athens earthquake aftershocks and getting scared
