Gaf, post an image of the first game you remember playing

This game made me so mad in my youth. Afterwards I remember this

And then Atari and Turbografx 16 when I was a bit older because my mother was married to my then step father who had them. I always wondered what happened to them, I loved the Turbografx. Man it was so cool.
 
Born in '91, every time we went to Round Table Pizza my parents would set up a stool at the Street Fighter 2 machine and I'd play, I did that from 3-7 until we moved.

A game where you were this ninja guy, who was in a cave and could kick bats

it was either a Commodore or Atari game, cant remember.

someone needs to know what im talking about
 
man, I thought that game was soo cool at the time.

It was a pack-in with every Megadrive in the UK back in the day, so it was therefore not cool by default. What was cool was Sonic, Strider, Road Rash, Ghouls n Ghosts and Streets of Rage. They were cool. Really cool.
 
I'm 34 and yeah I know the game in the pic but I still think it was dk first for me lol. That or pac man not sure tbh

I played at my cousin's house (he was born in 75) but I don't remember if it was on Colecovision or Atari 2600... I was very young so :/

I just remember being so impressed that I could control something on a TV, even just a bar.

Hey mum! I can control the TV screen !!! :o

Then the game that impressed me the most after that was Super Mario Bros on NES. For me it was just the game that could be named "perfection" (I didn't think it exactly that way but it was like I had the future in my hands).
 
I can't be positive. My first system was an NES that used to belong to one of my cousins. Came with just a few games. It was either:

The Little Mermaid

or

140719-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-nes-screenshot-area-3-sewers.gif

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (really sucked at this one)

Can't say I did much with either. Got a few levels into The Little Mermaid but I don't think I ever got past the first area of TMNT. The first game I'd go on and pick out for myself would be Pokemon Blue a few years later.
 
Cousin brought it home, unwrapped it, and I remember everyone gathering around as he started it.

It's either that or Lemmings on the Amiga.

?? why would somethign being a pack in make it not cool by default? That sounds like some elitist shit.

I think it was perhaps a pack in in NA as well iirc, but i could be wrong. Doesn't make giant shape shifting beasts any less cool for a youngn.

But i will agree that strider, road rash and SoR were also cool. Mainly Strider though.
