Two early memories:
-- Playing Frogger on the Atari before my parents took me to school.
-- Wandering around Skara Brae trying to find the Review Board where I could level for the first time in Bard's Tale 1, then later getting a shock when I wandered into a random dungeon room and was attacked by 4 groups of 99 barbarians. Good times.

Hmmm, video games. Pong circa 75/76.
Card games, probably about the same time or a year earlier.
Fond memories of playing Gin Rummy with dad.
He'd never go easy on me and let me win a hand I didn't legitimately win.

My oldest gaming memory is the first game I ever played, as far as I know. It was some obscure, unfinished game demo on a floppy which I don't remember the story of how we got our hands on, it's called Darkwolf. For a long time, there was no trace of it on the internet - but the internet is an ever-growing wealth of information, and not only can you now find information of the game, you can even download and play it.

I have fond memories of double dragon/river city ransom/tetris/contra/duck tales/Doom/Top Gun/Punch Out! and the old pc version of Pirates!, but I don't know which was my earliest memory. There was some also a text adventure game for the pc where something called a grue would kill you in the darkness, but I don't remember the name of it...maybe it was Zork. I guess probably one of those.

Probably playing Pac-Man, Combat and Video Olympics with my older brother on the Atari 2600.

My dad used to be a cop. One day he brought a Sega Genesis from a raid they made to a sort of black market. He even brought it in a garbage bag. My mom and I connected the console and played a vikings game similar to streets of rage. Don't even remember the name. That was around 1998.

I didn't checked before how it was called, It seems I remembered it in a viking setting due to one character outfit, but the game is more conan-like. It's called Golden Axe.

First game I ever played was "Stargate" on an Atari 2600 Junior in our living room, sitting wayyy too close to an old CRT TV, playing for hours on end until Mum called for dinner. From then on, I was hooked.

When I was little, I would play Solitaire, Minesweeper, and 3D Pinball Space Cadet on Windows 95. I also remember playing CD ROM games we would borrow from the library back when that was a thing.

Starcraft is a pretty timeless game and had probably the biggest impact on multiplayer and esports of any other game of it's time.

haha, that's alright, I never expect any thanks or even wish for them unless specifically from those who won, and even then I don't mind much if they don't do it ^^

Cool thread, here's a fitting GA for a collection of games. Some of these were the hot stuff among me and my friends for a period of time and brought some of the coolest early gaming memories (also introduced me to gamer rage lol).

I believe my first gaming experience was with a little LCD game like the nontendo game & watch that was serving people in a diner.
My first gaming experience on a computer was Enduro Racer on a Timex Computer 2048, that is a Portuguese clone of the ZX Spectrum.

I've been thinking about this question for a little and thought I might ask you guys as well. What is your earliest memory of playing a video game, any type of game? Or if you are not sure of the earliest one, feel free to tell us about a very old, happy, gaming memory of yours.
For me, it has to be around the early 2000s, probably between 2004-2006, late at night, for some reason I wasn't asleep at that hour, playing that Tetris game from "Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games" with my mom, on my uncle's computer at the time.
It is quite a simple memory, but one I cherish a lot and like to go back to every once in a while, at least mentally, since we can't turn the time back.
