The first game you played on your 2600

[4Ks]

I saw a topic like this in the Lynx section, so I decided to do one here. As for me, my first was Berzerk.

[gazjcollins]

Galaxian

[crunchysuperman]

Got my first VCS with Berzerk & Defender, but I don't remember which one I actually played first.

[Atari Dogs]

Fishing Derby. My grandfather bought an Sears six switch Atari. Then he let my cousins and I buy a game. I picked Fishing Derby.

[Wickeycolumbus]

Jr. Pacman

[Battlezone]

Space Invaders was inside the 2600 box and got POLE POSITION at the same time. Don't remember which one I played first.

[BigO]

Combat.

[Dutchman2000]

Space Invaders.

On my own personal 2600? I dunno...

 

But I can clearly recall the first one I ever played on any 2600: Combat on a store-display 2600 at a Sears store back in late 1977.

Space Invaders.

Space Invaders with the Sears label.

 

Ah, so you got a Sears Telegames VCS too? Neat memories.

 

Mine was an Atari 4 switcher w/ Combat packed in and Donkey Kong. Can't remember

for the life of me which I played first as that was waaaaay too many beers ago! lol

 

I do remember playing both games through the night with my brother that Christmas though :-)

Combat and all the variations kept us busy for months, if not years.

[Atari Dogs]

Well, Fishing Derby was the first game bought for me. I don't remember the actual first game I played.

[schuwalker]

Target Fun.....still love that damn game!

[sandmountainslim]

Combat

[kroogur]

[NE146]

[iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin]

Mr. Do.................still my favourite!

[Facemeat]

The first game I played on an actual 2600 was Donkey Kong.

[+Random Terrain]

First game I played on my Atari 2600 was Combat. I believe the first game I ever played on any Atari 2600 was Breakout, but it could have been Fishing Derby.

[phreakindee]

Space Invaders, from what I can remember... so long ago. Seaquest was also a staple. But on my "new" 2600? Circus Atari

[oky2000]

Combat, took me 6 months of saving pocket money and so that was the only game I had for 2 months! haha great memories though.

[+thanatos]

Slot Racers. That's what dad bought with the system.

 

I don't even think it was a Christmas present or anything. I just remember him bringing it home one day.

When I got my first Atari (in 1999...I came to it pretty late), I wanted to sort of "recreate" the experience of what it must have been like to be the new recipient of an Atari VCS back in the day. It was the first time I'd ever played a real 2600, so I wanted to do it right: of the nine games I had, I chose COMBAT as my inaugural Atari VCS gaming experience.

 

(Followed by Breakout, Super Breakout, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, MASH, Chopper Command, and Warlords )

 

That was a fun night...

The first game I ever played on my 2600 was (ADVENTURE) I loved this game and played the hell out of it.
