What was the first video game you ever played?

Think back to the very first time you ever played a video game, can you recall the first game you ever played? The first game I ever played was Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis when I was 4 years old. My cousins brought their console over to my grandparents' house, which is where my parents, sister and I lived at the time. Another one of my cousins handed me the controller and though I was hesitant at first, I had a blast playing the game. I couldn't beat Green Hill, but one of my cousins taught me the level select code and I wanted to see the rest of the levels lol. Took me a few years until I got my own Genesis with Sonic. That's where my love for gaming came from, and why I love Sonic the hedgehog still to this day too!

My first ever video game that I ever played was Super Mario Brothers on my mother's old 80's Nintendo. I used to play out of boredom because I wasn't that into video games when I was a kid. I didn't really get into games until Pokemon Blue, Yellow, and Red came out on Game Boy and thats when I discovered I was into RPG's.

The first video game I remember playing was Minecraft when it was released on the Xbox 360.
It was my favourite game at the time and I'd sit and play for hours.

The first video game I ever remember playing was Alex The Kidd on the Sega Master System and after that, it was Sonic the Hedgehog. Alex the Kidd was a game I spent so much time on with my cousin when we used to play and attempt to beat the mini rock, paper, scissors game.

I have been told by my parents I played other games before that but I don't recall.
