    I have all my orignal games I had when I was little. I still have my old NES too, works perfect too! My first game I think was of course SMB cause it came with the system. The first game I actually bought with my own money was Image Fight cause it was on sale for 19.99 at Wal-Mart.

    My parents had a NES before I was born (I was born in 87) so all they games they had are MY first games. They had some good ones like all 3 Marios, and Zelda, but also some stupid ones like Wheel Of Fortune.



    No I don't still have them. My Mom wrote "MORGAN" on all of them, so I sold them when I got condition upgrades.

    I still have my original system and all my original games in my collection... like NGD my first game was SMB but the first game that I recieved after that was I believe TMNT. just a guess since I was only 4 so it could have been any game, but I remember for some reason getting turtles at the same time....

    My first game was Excitebike (which I still have) and the first one I bought on my own was RBI baseball (which I no longer have). I do have my original NES as well which I bought somewhere in 1990

    My first game was TMNT, which I actually technically got before I got my NES. Parents handed me the wrong gift on Christmas morning image So the chronology was TMNT, Action Set (-CAN-1), then Metroid a few years later.

    I think my first game was either mario/duck hunt or tecmo super bowl, I cant remember which.
  • Nintendo WorkshopNintendo Workshop

    Cannot remember which one was first but I remember 3 of them around the same time:

    Hogan's Alley

    TMNT

    Double Dragon 2



    They where all pretty fun and I think I will get them out tomorrow and play them.



    Thanks for the reminder.

    I was late getting my NES, all my friends had them before me but when I finally got the cash to buy 1 myself it came with Zelda, Dr.Mario and Shadowgate. I always hated Shadowgate for so long. Being an impatient person playing a game like that just makes you nuts.

    The first game we had as a family was the classic SMB/Duck Hunt, but that was actually my sisters. The first I ever owned myself was Zelda II (got it before Zelda 1 for some reason). Still have it but the box is pretty tatty.

    SMB/DH then SMB 3.

    Here's an interesting tidbit about "first games". A long time ago, I sold off my NES games at the flea market (in '91 or '92). One of the things I used to do was carve my initials on the sides of the games, towards the bottom where the cart inserts into the NES (that small area where it indents). I'd put "D+A" on them, very distinctly, with a razor blade.



    Around 7 years ago when I started collecting again, I purchased a bunch of lots off ebay, etc, and actually found one of my original games! It was the Legend of Zelda, and I simply couldn't believe it. I sold those in Colorado and got that game in North Carolina -- how crazy is that? Talk about fate!



    Anyway, my first game was SMB.

    my first games were
    smb(obviously)
    ghosts and goblins
    tmnt
    quattro sports (i played the baseball game every single day)

    my parents sold em off at a yard sale, i was super pissed.
  • RedivivusRedivivus
    Hey Dain,
    Did you ever carve a DB for any reason? I have a Clash at Demonhead with those initials cut in. Not that you were the ONLY one to do so, but thought I'd check.
  • DainDain
    Nope, wasn't me -- I never had that game as a kid image

    You have it now, no? It is pretty good, except when certain levels appear to have no exit or reason for being there. I do like how it mixed up the direction some levels flowed (ie. not just left to right) Are there many other games that didnt follow the left to right theory?

    I had my first games in the age of 8. That was Nintendo 8-bit and the games was Super mario bros, faxanadu, batman 2 and section z. Everything was PAL. I don not got a single one of them left but I got other copies of them that I bought later when I started collect on NES

    My first game was Donkey Kong classics which I got for Christmas when I got my first NES.  I have all my original games except for Kirby which I left my best friend from high school borrow and she and her boyfriend broke up and my game got left behind at the apartment image  I still have all my original boxes and instruction booklets.  I even have the instruction booklets for my NES and my Zapper.  But I don't have my original NES because I traded it in for a refurbished one.  It probably just needed cleaned since I never had cleaned it before.  I did replace my Kirby game image

    First NES game? As a family, it was Super Mario Bros. that was packed in with the NES in late 1985 (our neighbor when we lived in Wisconsin was generous enough to buy my older brother one essentially at launch...I had just been born a couple weeks earlier, so there's no way it would've been for me). The first NES game I actually purchased, however...there's a bit of storyline here:

    Big D Flea Market, Dalton, Georgia, June 1991... My uncle (who lives in Indiana) had decided he'd pay us a visit, so he came down about Thursday of that week. Saturday came around, though, and he and the rest of us (my parents, my brother, my sister, and myself) piled into the old Ford van my dad had, and we went to the flea market. My uncle handed both myself and my sister each a $5 bill when we got there, telling us to buy ourselves something. I walked through the outermost aisle, then as I got to the second aisle, I spied a small box of NES games, about 15 or so. I asked the lady who was selling them "How much?", and she said "$5 a piece." I was flipping through them, came to one and was kinda perplexed as to what it really was. The title? Nintendo World Championships 1990. It didn't ring a bell, so I, being the young kid I was, left it sitting there (although if I knew what games were on it, I would probably have bought it). Eventually, a couple aisles later, I came across an old lady in her 60s (who sets up there to this day) who had close to 200 NES games. From her, I ended up buying Legend of Zelda for $5, and my sister bought Zelda II for $5 (I ended up getting Zelda II from my sister, and still have both of them).

    Yep, i still have our Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt cart from x-mas 1989 image The first game we bought separately was Turtles 1. Unfortunatly we traded that away back in the days (if i remember right it was for Donkey Kong 3, which sucked, i got bored of the game damn fast hehe). I still have a few other games from when i was a kid tho image
  • xtremegamerxtremegamer
    Of course the original games we got where the pack-in games, Gyromite and Duck Hunt.  The first game my dad bought for me was shortly after he bought my older brother and I our Nes, we went to Dilards and each of us got to choose a game:

    Older Brother: Super Mario Bros.
    Dad: 10-Yard Fight
    Me: Gumshoe

    One year later....



    First game was a SMB/Duck Hunt that came with my first system.

    First real game that I bought or was bought for me: SMB 2.

    First real game that rocked my world: MTPO.

    I still have all of my originals. Someone will have to pry them from my cold dead fingers one day.



    First being SMB/DH/WCTM, and the first separate purchase being The Legend of Zelda...up until a year or two ago (when I cleared the memory) it still had an ancient save-game on it as well.

    lol I didnt even realize this was an old thread until I saw a Hounder commnet...

    I don't have mine that I know of but I guess the first game I had was Mario Bros/Duck Hunt. My mother bought the system for me when I was a kid to occupy me (aka shut me up) when she was studying for college. It was one thing I can thank her for though as it got me into video games and I haven't stopped playing since.
  • Dukert27Dukert27
    here is my very first game. i remember buying it cause the box looked cool and loved it. now it is my favorite series
    i still have the recept somewhere at my parents house

  • !damage!!damage!
    no longer have any of my original stuff from when I was a kid



    but the first game me and my brother bought together was double dragon...



    remeber that day vividly, walking into kay bee toys, seeing double dragon behind the counter in all its glory

    paying $50.00 dollars for it... *puke*

    Hmm, it's really hard for me to say. We got our first Nintendo when I was 4 or 5, and there were three people in my house that played the thing. We all got our own seperate games every now and then, so it's a little hazy. I have seen a picture of myself getting a copy of SMB2 for my 7th birthday, so that's probably it. It's also a little more difficult because we never really quit getting new games for it. I was very fortunate to grow up in a gaming family.
  • bongobenbongoben
    First game was SMB/DH that was packed in w/ the Action Set. We got it the first Christmas it was available. After that, who knows? We ended up with about 30+ games. Of those, the ones that survived our flood a few years back have become a part of my collection.
