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!

I think it's either Super Mario Land on gameboy, or Super Mario Bros on NES. I can't remember which.

how about the earliest game that had a profound impact on you? Ultima Exodus for me. it had an immersive world you could explore way bigger than zelda. lots of hidden side quests and some mind-blowing secrets. i mean, tracking the phases of the twin moons was actually part of the game. some of the secrets were essential to completing the game which is why i never was able to complete it until i used a walk-through years later.

years later as a veteran DM, it was absolutely the most influential game i ever played.

Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door on GameCube. I am super excited for the switch remake.

Hard to say, but possibly Spectron for the Spectravideo SV-328. The first game I remember really having an impact was Super Mario Bros. Played it at my friend's house and afterwards I begged my parents for a NES. That was a happy Christmas.

I can't remember which came first, my mom got some games for her Commodore 64, or my dad getting a used Intellivision from one of his buddies at work.

It was either Pitfall or Frog Bog depending on which came first.

VS. Super Mario Bros, aka the arcade version of NES Super Mario Bros

Probably "ports of call" on PC. Still haven't found an actual modern version of it. There were some half assed attempts in recent years, all with such huge flaws that they still haven't managed to be considered "playable".

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
