I love this thread. It's just somebody trying to say something from memory and then like three people immediately going NOOOOOOPE.

Some interesting stuff though for sure.

I was just thinking about this... what was the first game to hide important plot points on audio cassettes/data logs instead of being told to you in cutscenes? Because I hate that shit and it's all over the place recently. Just give me a regular cutscene.

The Colony (1988) for Mac, Amiga and DOS was a very early, if not one of the first examples of that first person exploration, abandoned space station, reading crew logs trope, before System Shock and the Marathon games.

But I'd say it really originates from RPGs, dungeon crawlers etc, finding puzzling notes from past adventurers inside crypts, as far as games go.

What was the first game to have a interactive toilet/restroom ?

Duke Nukem 3D? Might be way off here but I remember that blowing my mind somehow back then haha

Also, I'm glad that that user asked about the first game with surround sound, as that's something that I already know and is missing from the list: it's Super Turrican (SNES, 1993), at least for consoles.

Not so fast...

FFVI had interactive toilets in Vector. A year before FFVI, Day of the Tentacle had interactive toilets that a scientist modified to serve as time machines (lol).

Zak McKraken in 1988 is the first that comes to mind
"Excuse me!" and then camera turns right, hiding the scene

Leisure Suite Larry had it too a year previously

Does anyone know what the first example of this kind of tunnel dodging game is: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=604842973

Apologies for the rather garish video...

STUN Runner perhaps?

First ejaculation is before first blood.

Sums up the entertainment industry pretty well.

Pit Fighter, the first popular fighting game.

The trench run level of Star Wars Arcade (1983) kind of has that general concept, but there's probably some other, more concrete example out there.

Duke Nukem 3D must be the first game with DESTRUCTIBLE interactive toilets. There we go.
