I was playing the NES when I was four years old, so I don't remember the very first game, for sure. However, the game I have the most vivid memories of was a/the Coyote & Road Runner game for NES. I have a permanent picture of the opening screen in my head from when I was only a few years old.

The first game I played was called "Adventure", and it was for an Atari console that I can't remember the name of. My Dad gave it to me, and I was killing dragons for months and months afterwards. The graphics were rubbish, but the game was really addictive.

It's a famous game. It was designed by Warren Robinett back in the day when games were made by one person for almost nothing. What's interesting is it's the first game to ever have an Easter Egg. Atari gave their programmers almost no freedom, so Robinett secretly hid a key somewhere in the game, which unlocked a room by the castle. Inside the room, Robinett left a message and signed his name. So far as I know, it's the birth of the video game secret.

[TasteyPies]

Zelda II adventures of teh linkerz

[Jack]

The Lion King on Megadrive



That was my Birthday present and I played and played it forever and forever.

EDIT: Unless, that means at home. At the arcade, I think it must have been this Superbike game. You got to sit on this bike and it moved with you, but the graphics were 2D and rather poor in todays terms.
