Whats the earliest system and game you played at the stores?

The earliest I can clearly remember is DKC 1 at Wal-Mart. I know I played others before that at the video rental stores, but I can't remember what they were. I remember playing Sonic and Boogerman at the rental store too, so I guess my memory just doesn't go back much farther than the 16-bit age

Super Mario Bros at a Sears NES kiosk I believe. While my earliest gaming was on a 2600 I don't remember ever playing one in public (just at our grandparents).

Either NES at Macy's or Master System at JC Penney.

Sears Pong back in 78 or so. Get off the damn lawn in here you damn kids.

I remember playing star fox on SNES at Toys R Us. I don't remember seeing a console kiosk until super Nintendo though. I know the Sears I used to get games at didn't have one. All their games were in a jewelry counter setup so everything was behind glass.

Altered Beast - Genesis at Toys R Us - ALL. THE. TIME. The A button never worked so was unable to punch / fireball on first stage. FAIL!

At the store would be NES, but my dad had a Atari 2600 when I was a kid. I remember playing Frogger on it. Thinking about 1986 or so .

When Smash Bros came out for the 64 I remember waiting in line to try it for an hour. It was so cool to see Link and Mario in then same game.

I feel kinda old but my oldest memory is playing Killer Instinct on my SNES when I was like 3 or 4 I still have it

At stores I have no idea. I had a Coleco though with a bunch of games including Carnival, Smurfs, Donkey Kong & DK Jr, Zaxxon, Ladybug and others. Eventually got the 2600 add-on. One of my friends had an Atari which we played Spider-Man on and another of my friends had the Intellivision which I'm pretty sure we played AD&D on. My earliest games though were probably Space Invaders and Pac-Man type games at the arcade or corner 7-11 type store.
