What was your first ever videogame?
I honestly don’t recall the exact first videogame that I ever played. I’d have to use a lot of inductive reasoning with my personal memories to make an educated guess. I know that I got a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive as my first system back when I was seven or so. It was bundled with Sonic 2.
However, I probably did play several games before Sonic 2. My father regularly used computers, so my family had access to his computers. I know that I did play games with these computers. Quite a few were DOS games, which were accessed to switching to MS-DOS mode. There was also classic Prince of Persia. There was a Sesame Street game, but I don’t recall if it ever worked properly.
The MS-DOS games were probably bundled with that version of Microsoft Windows, way back when Windows still had MS-DOS mode. I recall entering MS-DOS mode then typing in the names of the games. I think the main two games that I played were Balloons and Gorillas.

I am obviously the most mature human being in all of existence.
