PostYour first game on each console you've played
by aayl1 » Fri Jul 16, 2010 2:15 pm

This should be an interesting take on a tried and tested formula. Simply post up each console you've owned (or played) and the first game you played on it.

Was that game representative of the console's output? Maybe you got a stinker but loved it anyway? Give us an emoticon rating with it.

Megadrive
- Sonic the Hedgehog. Emoticon Rating: :mrgreen: :wub:

Pretty representative, and the first game I played. Got me hooked on gaming.

Super Nintendo - Mario is Missing. Emoticon Rating :?: :fp:

Yeah. Not the best game to showcase what the SNES has to offer, in retrospect. I played this at a friends house who liked that you "played" as Luigi...

Nintendo 64 - Extreme G. Emoticon Rating: :| :)

My parents got me an N64 for my birthday. the games they got for me were this and Fifa 64. Not the best choices, but fortunately they let me buy Mario 64 with my Birthday money. Extreme G wasn't great, but I squeezed enjoyment out of it.

Dreamcast
- Sonic Adventure Emoticon Rating: :shock: :D

Well, this was pretty darn good for my 12 year old self. It was fast and seemingly slick and first impressions it looked great. This did not last.

Gamecube - Luigi's Mansion. Emoticon Rating: :wub: 8-)

Loved every second of this. Even if it did make me slightly scared at times, and it was painfully short. Great game to get you used to the dual analogues, though.

PS2 - GTA3. Emoticon Rating: :shock: 8-)

This blew me away. You could go anywhere and do anything. It was immensely good stuff.

360 - Call of Duty 2. Emoticon Rating :o :)

Had my first go of this in a shop. The smoke effects were AMAZING at the time. Loved the controller too.

So, detail your experiences. :D

C64: Not sure, but the first one I can remember is Paperboy. I have no idea why my love of gaming wasn't squashed at this early stage. :| :?

Mega Drive: Sonic 1. The start of a lifelong (so far) love affair, both with gaming and the little blue guy. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :wub: :wub:

PC: Doom. Scared the gooseberry fool out of me but cemented the PC as my choice for gaming until... :evil: :mrgreen:

N64: GoldenEye. Still the most fun I've ever had playing multiplayer. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Dreamcast: Sonic Adventure. I was blown away. Loved the music (?!) the graphics, the gameplay, loved all of it. :wub: :wub:

Xbox: Never actually owned one but spent the majority of my first year of uni playing Halo. Splitscreen multiplayer to rival even GoldenEye. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Xbox360: Perfect Dark Zero. Loved it at first, then realised the art design was hideous and the gameplay rubbish. Haven't played it since. Notable as the first time I ever played against a fellow GRcadian online (it was Aaron). :D :x

Megadrive - Prince of Persia :o :wub:
I'd previously played the SNES version (I'll just do consoles I've owned) and loved it, so I was overjoyed when I got a Mega Drive with this for Christmas. It wasn't as good as the SNES version but I loved it all the same.

Playstation - Rage Racer :o :D
Got it for my borthday one year. Still feel quite emotionally attached to this game.

Gameboy Colour - Pokemon Red :mrgreen: 8-)
Got it on holiday in Tenerife. Great days.

N64 - Ocarina of Time :wub: :wub:
Best game ever, and although I got the console towards the end of the N64 era, it was crucial in making me the Nintendo fanboy I am today.

GBA - Super Mario World :D

Gamecube - Resident Evil 8-)
Good start to my favourite console ever.

DS - Super Mario 64 DS :)

Wii - Twilight Princess :wub: 8-)
Nintendo rewarding me for the faith I'd put in them this gen with the best Zelda since OOT.

Xbox - Halo :fp:
Worst purchase I've ever made, the less said the better.

Xbox 360 - Blue Dragon :?
Came with the console. It was alright I guess, but several years later and I've still only played a few hours of it.

PS3 - Valkyria Chronicles :wub: :cry:
A beautiful game, possibly the best I've played this gen. Although I didn't really use my PS3 much at first, this cemented it's place as one of my favourite consoles.

PS2 - Tales of the Abyss :wub: :twisted:
Bought a US PS2 mainly just for this. Well worth it.

PSP - Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology :mrgreen:
Just got a PSP recently but I love this. Good fun Tales escort title.

The Eeveelution club!!! \o/

Commodore 64 - Sly Spy Secret Agent :mrgreen:
I believe it's a side scrolling James Bond type of game, but the variety was outstanding - scuba diving harpooning the strawberry float out of big sharks, a really fast motorbike segment, and other such goodness. Ocean were great back then.

The only sim racer I ever obtained 100% on. A great mix of realism and...just being fun, as well. Not like nowadays.

Looked fabulous on my new HD telly back then. I think I was easily impressed, though.

Xbox 360 - Forza 2 :) :| :roll:
Great at first, but it just went on...and on...and on...and on...
