If you can remember, feel free to talk about the first time you played a video game and what it was like.
For example, the first game I remember playing was Sonic the Hedgehog 2 back on the original Sega Genesis (Which I still own) when I was about 2 or 3 years old. It was the only Sonic game I had for about the first five years of my life until I started to get into the series.

As far as I remember it was Donkey Kong Country on the Game Boy Colour when I was like 5, though I cant really remember what it was like because as I said, I was 5. Funnily enough now a days I don't really give a shit about any DK games, Country is pretty good though.

The first game I played was Super Mario Bros on the NES (which in my country was called "The Family" for some reason) when I was like... 4, I think.

Just like Tormunds here, my first game was SMB on NES. The first PC game, though, was Soldier of Fortune, I was 9 or 10, I think. I remember that I get to the level when you have to stop the launch of a rocket that was supposed to destroy some city in America (NY or Washington, I don't remember). It was a timed level and I never completed it. (You know, I was playing with a dictionary on the desk. Didn't know English at all. I'm still not sure what the game was really about, maybe I should replay it or something  )

Well if we're talking about PC games, the first one I played was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. TBH the PC ports of all first three Harry Potter games were the best IMO.

Mine would be Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction waaaaaayyyyy back when I was like 5 or 6. I played the shit out of that game. So did my dad. We each made a character and would go through the game. But since the game was, well, Diablo, Young Me got scared sometimes and I usually ended up asking my dad to beat the bosses for me.
Good times.

The only games I ever got scared by was Peter Jackson's King Kong (I was 8 or 7 when I got that), and Alan Wake (I was around 12). I was scared of King Kong because when you played as Jack in the first person segments I would freak out whenever I saw a raptor or pterodactyl head straight at me because they moved so fast. As for Alan Wake I got jumpy at times from some of the taken, bu the only thing that really scared me was some jumpscare during the final cutscene of chapter 4 (I think?) Yep. It was the scene at 1:24:14. Now I think it's alright, but back when I first saw this I think I had nightmares for like a few days. Didn't help that they used this to open The Signal DLC too.

Diablo 2 was incredibly atmospheric (As was the first game) back in the day and was very dark and unsettling. Certainly not the kind of game a 5 year old should be playing, but for some reason I got to. Loved it to pieces but it would scare the shit out of me at certain points.

I had Sorcerer's Stone for PC. It was awesome. Then Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban on PS2. All three of those games are bananaland good, surprisingly. I had so much fun replaying those again and again. I'd still rank Chamber of Secrets among my favorite games ever.

Holy hell, King Kong kinda scared me sometimes when I was young. The small dinosaurs were scary enough, but I barely could play any of the V-Rex levels. Looking back, they were pretty well designed, hell I'd almost call it a survival horror game at times.

Can't remember any specific first game I played, but I remember a few.
When I was very young, my brother sometimes let me play on his Gameboy Colour, and I remember playing a bit of PokΓ©mon Yellow on that.
On the PS1, I played a lot of Destruction Derby 2(I don't think many people have actually heard of it, but it was fun as fuck and the tracks were pretty nice).
Also on the PS1 I had a Scooby-Doo Cyber Chase game which I played again on an emulator a while back and it was actually still pretty good apart from boss battles all being beaten with the same strategy apart from the last two
and a PS1 game that I later learned was a port, of I think a sega mega-drive game. It was a Mickey Mouse game, the first level was in black and white, and I remember in the second level you use potions at the end to turn the mad doctor into a baby?
