Your first Dragon Ball video game
So, what was your first Dragon Ball video game?
My first game was Dragon Ball Z: Buyū Retsuden for the Sega Mega Drive. Unfortunately it was only in japanese, so it was hard to navigate the menus, but it had great gameplay and a nice character roster to choose from:

Budokai 2 for PS2. It was also the very first game I ever owned (beside the demo disc which was included with the console).
However, I don't remember when was the last time I played it. I did play it a lot when I got it, but pretty much stopped completely once i got Budokai 3.

Spoiler:
I had absolutely no idea who any of the GT characters were since I don't believe GT was even on TV when we got this in the UK.
It was a pretty godawful game looking back on it but as a kid, I was just happy to be able to play a Dragon Ball game in some format.

Same here. The Japanese import of Final Bout.

Super Butouden 2
used an SNES emulator on my computer, good times...I also was playing Super Butouden 3 pretty much simultaneously, but always prefered 2, despite needing to use a code to play as Goku, unlike in 3. I never could place a reason as to why I thought 2 outshined 3 but for me it totaly eclipsed it.

How I enjoy the anime:

Super Butouden 2 Pirate cartridge for pirated Famicom-like consoles back in the 90's. Pirate carts were kind of hard to stay away from until games were required to have a seal of approval in each country sold, that way, it wasn't as much but they still kept rolling.

Budokai 2 on PS2. I remember wanting B1 for ages but couldn't afford a PS2 and ended up getting B2 first along with my PS2 for xmas 2003. I played that game non-stop for months until I got B1 and started getting hyped for B3.

Budokai 1 or Final Bout. I forget. I just remember both playing them while I was a kid.

Re: Your first Dragon Ball video game
It might have been DBZ Legends at my friends house. I just started watching DBZ at the time, so the game blew my mind. Legacy of Goku was the first DBZ game that I own.

I think mine was Budokai 1 for the PS2. Can't really remember to be honest.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Re: Your first Dragon Ball video game
T'was Final Bout for me back from its original release.
Many nights of mashing buttons in the beam clashes with friends. Wonderful memories of wonderful times with a terrible game with wonderful music.

Re: Your first Dragon Ball video game
Final Bout for me too. Dragon Ball just started airing here and I had really no grasp of who some of those characters in the game were, but I knew that it had to do with Son Goku because he was in it, even if he (his GT kid form) looked a little different than when he was really a kid. I didn't play anything else back then and was addicted, the questionable gameplay aside. Immediately fell in love with its score and still revisit it to play some rounds due to nostalgia.

Re: Your first Dragon Ball video game
Dragon Ball Shenron no nazo. A friend of mine got it somehow.
It's not the first game I owned, but the first I played. After that it was probably either the butoden 1&2 or the Dragon Ball Z for arcades.

Re: Your first Dragon Ball video game
I first got into the series a bit before the big game resurgence. My first game was Legacy of Goku. It wasn't particularly good, but at the time I had some fun with it. I was still pretty underwhelmed, though. Ah, well. Things got much better that Christmas when I received Budokai and (the underrated gem) Legendary Super Warriors.
My first DBZ gaming memory, on the other hand, was the big feature in GamePro. It definitely got me pumped up for those early Atari releases, and there was a nice little sidebar that gave me my first exposure to the oldschool games.

Re: Your first Dragon Ball video game
I believe a copy of Final Bout that didn't work properly on my PS1...
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.
Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.
