Star Trek -- the text-based game. In terms of "modern" games with actual graphics (instead of pixels), I think it was The Punisher...

[Hailo]

[Trizzak]

Technically, Mario. But I never owned a Nintendo (damn parents!) I always played it at a friend's house.

Eventually I got a Sega Genesis, and the first game I was addicted to that I actually owned was Sonic The Hedghog (might have been #2)

[Jonesy]

Combat

[PatrickBateman]

[dirty clown]

Hell, I remember when home video games weren't even considered a normal past time.

[EvAn]

My first memory of gaming was Tron for the Intellivision.....but the one that hooked me forever was Mega Man 2

[PatrickBateman]

I remember playing Contra a whole lot

[Jonesy]

While Combat was the first game I really liked, it was probably the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES that made it certain i would be playing videogames the rest of my life. :nana:

[jazz]

no one would've finished that game without it. why do you think it was invented in the first place? :hitler:

[EtchedInCold]

not true. i remember being younger, and watching my cousin, who was babysitting us, beat that game start to finish. it was a hell of a way to keep us under control.
