A Battleships clone I made in the console would be the first 'game' I made, I used some functions from Windows.h to colour the background text to make it look like you were searching the ocean.
I made that in probably early '07, WAY BACK!

Probably the first one that I have ever made is one that I have not yet finished. I got a little ahead of myself, and wanted to make a full fledged 2d RPG in java. (not online
) But I am still working on it. Here is a very old version of it:

I have not made a video of the current version yet, but I probably will soon. It has progressed so much more than that video right there. The window is even 4 times as big.
Anyway, aside from the old version, I have created a new minimap in the top left corner of the screen that shows where you are on the map, and shows all buildings, and major monuments in the game. I have also enabled wearing armor and weapons. The character sprites move. The animals move at random by there self. Basically no bugs, except with the minimap, which I just started making today. And thats about it. :D

My first game was a text-based 2 player tic-tac-toe game written in c++. The biggest problem was finding someone to play it with. And then I lost. But it was a good experience.

A very basic pong game and a text based rpg with functioning game loop which done nothing, part from make a few beeps from the pc speaker when a battle started and ended.

Good lord, I've written and abandoned ALOT of games over the years, but a Frogger clone written in Pascal is one of the first games I actually finished.
I wrote this in my 10th grade Computer Science class. The teacher was a little pissed because the other students were playing my game instead of programming, but he was also curious to see the source code.
