The first Xbox game I ever played was Conflict: Desert Storm, and one time during dinner I got spanked for saying I wanted to go kill Arabs. Good memories. 🥰
First videogame I EVER played was COD4-MW on the playstation 3. My dad passed me the controller when I woke up early one morning. I remember vividly it was the mission where the missiles got launched. I was 3 years old
The first video game I played was on my friend's just released Apple II, around 1977-78. Floppies weren't plentiful yet so we used audio cassette tapes for storage and had to manually advance/rewind the tape as needed.
We played a text-based adventure on a green phosphor monitor, where the adventure consisted of repeated Y/N questions after some dialogue. I don't remember the name of that great game, but it involved talking with a smelly hermit who lived in a cave.
>a smelly hermit who lived in a cave
Was it Steve Jobs? He was famously stinky, as he (wrongly) believed that his vegan diet and fasting meant he didn't produce any odour. When he worked for Atari, there were so many complaints they moved him to the night shift.
>Bloody hell, I feel old.
First game I owned was lego Indianna Jones in ps2. It was out a year or two already. Last year I fought in Ukraine.
How geriatric does that make you feel? 😆
Pong, my first game was Pong.
Edit: [This is Pong](https://www.ebay.com/itm/176327165236?itmmeta=01HW8YX2JRGAE71447J0H2VY80&hash=item290deb0534:g:sacAAOSwp21lpuvD) I get the feeling only about 6% of you know.
Same here. I'm in the UK, so it would have been the Commodore 64 version in the early 80s.
Literally [two sticks hitting a dot over a line](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it0sf4CMDeM).
Mine was a golf game on MS DOS. I think it was just called DOS Golf or something. The computer also had windows on it, but if you wanted to play games, you just had to go through DOS to get to the right command line. There was a flight sim on MS DOS my brother and I got at a yard sale too, but it never worked. I think there wasn't enough RAM or something.
We are surrounded by children. 40+ gang rise up!
Pretty high quality of ironic shitposting demonstrated by the youth, though. Gives me hope for the future.
And before any whippersnappers say "we **invented** ironic shitposting, *old man*," let me say: I got Something Awful forum posts older than you are, show some respect.
I have low patience in general for “oh man I feel old” thing - I understand that time flow, I have direct first-hand evidence that people have been born and continue to be born subsequent to my own birth. But maaaan this one got me. You might as well read a post that says “my first childhood memory was the House passing the $61B Ukrainian aid”.
Mine was arcade games at my local pizza joint, but I was born in ‘99 so I’m still a fetus. My father only ever played the 2600 when he was in high school, then never played video games again lmao.
Mine too. But do you remember the Coleco or Intellivison (I think I got those names right)?
My friend had the 2600 and I was so jealous. My parents ended up buying the Atari 5200 for my brother and me for Christmas. It was amazing.
Lego Loco on PC for me. My parents wouldn't allow me to play Halo let alone CoD until I was 12 and launched a long campaign to let them let me play lol.
The other one I got was a crazy one called Grand Prix Legends, which as I had only a keyboard was utterly completely uncontrollable. Still, it was fun for 4 year old me to crash some cars into things.
Mine was _Wolfenstein 3D_. It looks like my dad was trying to teach me the importance of killing the fuck out of Nazis with whichever means you have at hand.
Thanks, dad!
I just completed that mission on my Veteran run, and I shot down both Hips and managed to keep the original SAS grunt from infil alive
MW was also my first CoD, kinda. I remember seeing my mom's then boyfriend play All Ghillied Up, and later No Fighting In The War Room and Game Over. I was never allowed to play, though
First videogame i ever played was Super Pipeline on Commodore 64.
Well, we didn't have internet back then.
Or realistic graphics.
Or sounds, just an annoying electronic backtrack.
But that plumber had a gun.
when you go back and view it outside of the post-9/11 era it was created in, that game is WILD. running around a pack of units called “Terrorist” that blow themselves up and say unhinged catch phrases in a thick over the top arabic accent
Desert storm the game: angry Arabs trying to kill you.
Desert storm in reality: angry Iraqis mad you bombed them instead of giving them a chance to surrender.
I was just reminiscing about the madness of 2001-2003 in the US, thank you for reminding me it was more a continuation of a theme than a new innovation.
I rememebr trying to play warcraft in a store, when it came out. It was just called warcraft. I got a hand me down Amiga. It was like crack. So many games started and restarted, none finished. Ultima 4, battletech (88 version), m1 abrams simulator, harpoon, some other I am forgetting
Have a simillar story, it was 2012 i think i was replaying cod mw for 100'th time and my mother came to my room and asked in a sarcastically dissatisfied tone "what are you killing russians again?", i just answered with a maniacal grin "yes", and continued my videogame blood sacrifice to ~~Khorn~~ Uncle Sam.
Man my first game was falcon 4 on pc and need for speed 3 hot pursuit. But man conflict desert storm really bringing me back loved that game so much SAS bradley, foley, connors and jones 4 life
Me playing RPGs: Nooooo, i cant be mean to these poor pixels :(
Me playing strategy games: IF THAT CIVILIAN MOVES SHOOT HIM, HE'S A SOLDIER, IF HE DOESNT MOVE SHOOT HIM, HE'S A WELL TRAINED SOLDIER
Me playing strategy games: I LOVE TERRORBOMGING ENEMY CITIES I LOVE TERRORBOMGING ENEMY CITIES I LOVE TERRORBOMGING ENEMY CITIES I LOVE TERRORBOMGING ENEMY CITIES
I just had a game on CIV were my strategy was some James Bond villain type shit
Step.1: Build a fuckton of nukes
Step 2: Declare war on the entire world
Step 3: Have fun whit the nukes
Then used figther jets and bombers to get rid of any possible survivors
To my great surprise, [there has not yet been a commandant of the USMC called Jeremy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commandant_of_the_United_States_Marine_Corps), so he must still be rising through the ranks.
Dear Frederick, thank you for your nice letter, but I am actually a US Marine who was born to kill, whereas clearly you seem to have mistaken me for some sort of wine sipping, communist dick suck. And although peace probably appeals to tree hugging bi-sexuals like you and your parents, I happen to be a death-dealing, blood-crazed warrior who wakes up every day just hoping for the chance to dismember my enemies and defile their civilizations. Peace sucks a hairy asshole, Freddy. War is the mother-fucking answer.
>Peace sucks a hairy asshole, Freddy. War is the mother-fucking answer.
The soldier that got this pictures knows that, Jerimy knows that, and the tree hugging bi-sexuals should have known that.
You know if he sent this to soldiers in Iraq this would have been a cherished piece of art.
(Not saying the US is evil, just that soldiers have a pretty dark sense of humor.)
Early 2000s, it was soft-encouraged by many schools to write letters or make drawings to send to American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Because 1st graders unfortunately tend to have underdeveloped opinions on geopolitics, said letters were frequently bizarre mashups of what the adults around them were saying at the time that the assigment was given. Iirc mine was a long ramble about soccer because my mom had been running a donation drive to send sports equipment to children in Baghdad and I was enamored with the idea of kids in their country playing the same games I did.

Reddit never fails to amaze me in that I will think think of something clever and go to the comments and see that it is already posted.
That's why I don't bother trying to be clever. ;)

Bloody hell, I feel old. The first video game I played was Jurassic Park on my cousin's SNES. First game I owned was command and conquer on the PS1.
Super Mario Bros and Duck hunt NES: 4 years old 2000 Grand Theft Auto Playstation: 6 years old 2002 I was born in 1996
Was born in 93. Did you remember the dedicated fart button on the OG GTA. loved the London one, driving around in a double decker bus.
Duck Hunt for me too. I played with the gun literally on the tv screen. I scratched the shit out of that old CRT TV with the gun. lol
Space invaders on a TI-99 I'm that old.

First game I ever played was some Atari thing, first game I really remember is Sonic 2 on the Megadrive
>Bloody hell, I feel old. First game I owned was lego Indianna Jones in ps2. It was out a year or two already. Last year I fought in Ukraine. How geriatric does that make you feel? 😆
Goddamn I remember that Jurassic park game. That thing felt impossible.
I never could beat that game

Ayo 43… I think, yeah, the math works. NES was first console I owned, but loved some Chopper Command and Combat on Atari

Can me and my Galaga Arcade Machine join you?
My first game was a Radio Shack knock off the original Pong. I figure the LAN parties in the nursing home in about another decade are going to be lit.
Most responsible COD dad
To be fair he plays exclusively world of warships now
Bro, that’a even WORSE
Same but with an obscure top down helicopter trilogy on my dad's old laptop
Was its name Air Assault or something?
🤝 my man
Lego Loco on PC for me. My parents wouldn't allow me to play Halo let alone CoD until I was 12 and launched a long campaign to let them let me play lol.

when you go back and view it outside of the post-9/11 era it was created in, that game is WILD. running around a pack of units called “Terrorist” that blow themselves up and say unhinged catch phrases in a thick over the top arabic accent
The game is so hilariously insensitive and I love every bit of it
"AK-47s for EVERYBODY!"
"My feet hurt"
“i need shoes”
*We'll give em an airshow!* Generals was also like my first proper game bar Freddy Fish.
Red alert 2, smoking Russians since the 1st grade
Fuck that was an incredible game! I remember spending hours trying to find the carzyiest ways to take out a tank!
Desert storm the game: angry Arabs trying to kill you. Desert storm in reality: angry Iraqis mad you bombed them instead of giving them a chance to surrender.
Desert storm mentioned, let's go boyz
I was just reminiscing about the madness of 2001-2003 in the US, thank you for reminding me it was more a continuation of a theme than a new innovation.
I loved that game though i had it on gamecube.
SOCOM 2 baby, good old days.

I'd spank you too, they are called Terrorists. :D /j Just to be clear: this is a joke.

Jerimy memorized the Geneva Checklist by age 3.
“Doing it for you, Jeremy” ✊
“Please I have a family have mercy” “Jeremy sends his regards”
May god have mercy. Because i won't
Jeremy at show and tell that term. This is a bag of ears my pen pal sent me......
Damn how old is this? Jeremy might be a full grown man by now if this was from 2003
Jeremy was a 30 something gunny. This is a mission briefing.
Jeremy is in the marines.
The crayons were used as a snack later
To my great surprise, [there has not yet been a commandant of the USMC called Jeremy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commandant_of_the_United_States_Marine_Corps), so he must still be rising through the ranks.
I'd expect nothing less then this masterpiece from someone whose name is spelled that way. Yee-haw, Murica mo-fos!!
Dear Frederick, thank you for your nice letter, but I am actually a US Marine who was born to kill, whereas clearly you seem to have mistaken me for some sort of wine sipping, communist dick suck.

God I love that show
Police that mustache
>Peace sucks a hairy asshole, Freddy. War is the mother-fucking answer. The soldier that got this pictures knows that, Jerimy knows that, and the tree hugging bi-sexuals should have known that.
Jerimy is all of us
LOL
Jerimy is not the kind of guy you want to upset by misspelling his name.
The English translation of my name would be Jeremy and I do be like this sometimes.
Username checks out
Jerimy's the kind of guy to use up all the ammo in the first day and request in A10's in a tense hostage situation.
🎵Hey Mr Taliban, hand over bin Laden Daylight come and we bomb your homes 🎶
Oh, gosh. Memories. And we're just in time for the Barbara Ann Beach Boys cover "Bomb Iran"
You know if he sent this to soldiers in Iraq this would have been a cherished piece of art. (Not saying the US is evil, just that soldiers have a pretty dark sense of humor.)
We got one that said "thank you for dying for our country," was the highlight of the package.
That is amazing! Do you still have it?
No, I didn't get dibs on it. I got a little squirrel pushie instead.
Squirrel tax?
Hopefully, we don't go to war, but if we do, I would frame something like that up.
Thanks in advance.
Jeremy understands what war is about
