I remember my first game... I just got a computer maybe a week beforehand (a 386.) I was on that computer constantly for that week or so checking out all the DOS commands and I wound up finding qbasic.exe. Using the online help I figured out a few things and then starting putting a game together.
The game didn't make much sense. It was similar to LORD (the BBS game) except it had some vga graphics and some cruel stuff like mugging an old lady.
I remember struggling with if statements like so: I had to have two conditionals (if (a == 1 || a == 2)) and I couldn't figure it out with the online help, I was writing (if (a == 1 || 2)) (in qbasic syntax of course, which I completely forget...) xD

My first game was for the Commodor 64 in 1986. A friend and I created a sidescroller which was insanely difficult. We built it during the winter months and released it through a danish company called KeleLine. I think we made som 10,000,- DKK for it, which was a lot of money for us. Not sure the company ever got a return of investment though...

You are cool. This morally rotten web site exists in a dimension separate to European computers and it has affected its denizens on a spiritual level.

LOL! Thanks  Our follow up was "Unitrax" for the C64. It was later ported to the Spectrum and Amstrad by a UK company called Domark. Earned a shitload of money for that game  |

Now that I start thinking I really do not remember what my first game was. It's not like I've done so many games but I do not remember exactly which was the first one.

"Do you remember working on your first game?"
It is like asking parents if they remember their children :D Even if they have 10 kids over 20 years of life span, they would still remember everything about them.
First games are like first children, and they are stuck inside your memory for long. When i first started out, these games were not quite full, but they were the most important experience, a jump start to something better

On a related note:
First game used to be "guess the number". Now it is an asset flip.

First games simple text adventures and some simple reaction-test type games with ascii graphics. GWBASIC. First completed gsme I am a little proud of was a tower defense style game running in MSDOS with CGA graphics made in Turbo Pascal. Never released though.
Pre-internet just using whatever was on dad's work pc, learning by reading the included example code and experimenting. Writing my own painfully bad graphics applications to draw because I had no clue how to parse any existing file formats (actually for a long time it did not occur to me that reading other formats was a thing...).
