I recently found a Sega Mega Drive at my grandparents house and was shocked to find that it still worked 😍 The nostalgia rolled in and I started thinking about the earliest memory I have of playing a video game. I’m almost certain it was ToeJam and Earl. Now I’m curious if anyone else remembers the first video game they ever played? ![toejamandearl](https://cdck-file-uploads-global.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/monzo/original/3X/6/7/670ea3b30a9ccbba6288618c70ac37479f025645.jpg) ---

I had a love/hate relationship with this game. May have been because I only had 2 games so I had to come back to it. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/3X/1/b/1b01fdc4d6decdac5667bc30cbce7257d313d5b6.jpg) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/monzo/original/3X/b/3/b3adbfa567557c97f1761f58eb002479979e9451.png) ---

Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Replayed it countless times since then! ❤️ On PC it would be Beyond Good & Evil, a lovely game a friend introduced me to. Back then the only computer in the house was a really underpowered laptop so I was pestering my parents to get a new one for months just so I could finally play it! ---
