@theconfusedyeti@tech.lgbt Okay. This took some research.

The first video game I remember is Defender on my father’s Atari 2600. I doubt I ever played it, though I might have chewed on the joystick.

If you count text adventures, the first game I remember playing is Infocom’s Wishbringer (1985). I would have been 7-8.

If our definition of video games requires graphics, then it would have been the SMB/Duckhunt cartridge in my elementary school friend’s bedroom a year or two later. That’s definitely the one that ruined me for all time. 😹
