I believe it was Pokmon Red.

Tried to get Link's Awakening at launch but it didn't come to the shops in my little town for a few weeks after release.

As in I bought it, it wasn't a gift?

Perfect Dark. I remember checking a countdown website that had weekly updates on game features and stuff.

Like on launch day? I think the first was Final Fantasy VII.

Before that I know I bought Resident Evil 1 very shortly after launch, within the first couple of weeks.

Launch day it would have been Final Fantasy VII.

Before that I always had to wait for birthdays or Christmas to get games so I never had anything the day it came out. Closest I would have had is Chrono Trigger since it came out only a few weeks before my birthday.

Probably Donkey Kong Country? My parents may have got me SMB3 when it came out as well. I do remember FFVIII being the first game I ever preordered and paid off before launch day at a Babbage's.

I'm old enough to remember when buying a game on launch day wasn't a thing, because nobody knew when a game was coming out.

That only started in the 90s.

In my case, I guess SF2.

I don't think I've ever bought a game launch day outside of small indie games, as a kid i usually got games as gifts and when i started making my own money, i usually got games later when they were on sale.

Day it came out? Probably one of the Smackdown games in the early 2000s, most likely SYM because I didnt have a PS2 when JBI came out. Those were the only games I would wait for every year and I would ask my mom to get it for me while I was at school so that she had it when she picked me up. I think she got me GTA San Andreas like that too but those are really the only games I begged for day-of. I would even bargain with her and be like look, I saved up $20 in change and that covers almost half, so it doesnt cost as much as you think!

I think the first thing I bought with my own money and on launch day was a Dreamcast and Sonic Adventure. Games usually come out on like a Tuesday and my mom was NOT driving me anywhere after work.
I'll think of a sig later.

I remember pre-ordering Final Fantasy 8 online, but it took over a week before I got it.

I'm pretty sure the first game I recall buying as an adult was Wind Waker.

I think it might have been Modern Warfare 2 in 2009. And that was on a whim on the day I think.

I never bought games on launch day prior to then. Closest might have been GTA:SA but that was sold out everywhere so I had to wait a week.

No idea, tbh. I remember getting Mega Man Battle Network 2 on release day, but I probably got other games on release before then.

StarCraft 2 is the oldest game I can think of that I know for a fact I bought on launch day as I went to the midnight release.

I know I pre-ordered Oblivion but I cant remember if we picked it up on launch day or that.

I know I bought games before that near launch, but I dont know about at launch.
