[mew barios]

don't know why i was thinking about this, but whenever i broke down and bought a console i always had some game in mind to be the first that i got for it. maybe you can learn deep mysterious things about a person based on these choices :o

atari 2600 - snoopy and the red baron
nes - double dragon
snes - street fighter 2
genesis - mortal kombat
gameboy - link's awakening

My NES and SNES were both given to me from friends / family with a bundle of games.

e: Also I think the first PC game I bought was WarCraft 2, but that's because I would just borrow lots of games from friends.
e2: I hope tim gets in this topic. Wanna see if he can even remember.

[Zhukov]

MEGADRIVE: it came with Alex Kidd and Altered Beast, and I sent away with a coupon to get Sonic 1.

Gameboy: I won my Gameboy when Star Wars ep IV was re-released and as such it came with Star Wars. Later that day I remember ringing up Nintendo tech support complaining that my gameboy shut off as soon as I turned it on, and a blue line appeared on screen; the guy told me I had run out of batteries.

N64: Bought it second hand with Goldeneye and Mario Kart, the next game I bought was an NHL game for some bizarre reason.

Xbox: Jet Set Radio Future. In fact I bought the game in utter, utter excitement before I had even bought the console.

DS: Mario Kart. I bought the DS so I could play Mario Kart with a girl in Glasgow.

Wii: Zelda: Twilight Princess. I bought the Wii so I could later play Mario Kart with a girl in Glasgow.

360: Dead or Alive 4


The first PC game I ever bought was Dark Reign. The guy that owned the software shop in the city was an American guy, and I used to go in and look at the Dark Reign box pretty much every chance I got. He gave me a discount when I coughed up the pennies to buy it, bless. I got given Warcraft II soon afterwards for Christmas.

Did you get the missprinted copy with strider 1 and strider 2 packing reversed? Strider 2 was awesome.

Dreamcast: Soul Calibur

[Mockery]

Intellivision - I believe mine came with Astrosmash and Blackjack & Poker, but the first game I went out and bought was Night Stalker.

NES - I got the Deluxe NES set when it first came out, so mine came with Gyromite and Duck Hunt, the next game I purchased was Target: Renegade.

PC - I think I purchased King's Quest or Police Quest first, followed by A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Gameboy - Tetris followed by Super Mario Land (I think).

Sega Genesis - Came with Altered Beast and then I quickly purchased Revenge of Shinobi and Golden Axe (can't remember which one I bought first though).

Atari Lynx - Todd's Adventures In Slime World and Ninja Gaiden.

Panasonic 3DO - Hard to recall, but I think it may have been Gex or Captain Quazar.

SNES - Super Mario Kart.

Playstation - I bought Loaded immediately when I got this system. Had played it with a friend and loved it.

Gamecube - Mario Kart: Double Dash and Ikaruga.

Nintendo DS - An R4 cart. :P

Nintendo Wii - Metal Slug Anthology.

Neo Geo (modded console for modern TV support) - Nightmare In The Dark.

Playstation 3 - This was given to me on my birthday with several games, but the first one I played (and the one I wanted most) was Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.


I think that pretty much covers it, but I could be forgetting something.

[Mad Melvin]

C64: I don't think I bought a single game for this system. I got my C64 as a christmas present and with it came a plastic bag full of illegally copied games.

NES: Solstice or Back To The Future 2 & 3. Not quite sure which one I had first. Both games are kinda shitty, but I got them 'cause they had cool covers. I sure did learn my lesson.
