Your First Pink in Games

This is just a small idea: what is the first striking instance of pink (the color) you remember in a game?

Compared to other colors, it may be that you encountered pink later than the red, blues, greens and other colors in early arcade games. Or maybe you have a really good memory of something others would overlook. Think of this as a gut check rather than demanding accuracy: I say “first pink you remember playing,” and you say: “[ ].” Then later you can go, “Oh yeah, [ ] was earlier and had pink.”

Even though Kirby’s Dream Land is one of the first games I ever played, he’s white in that game. And it’s in black and white on the gameboy pocket anyway.

Kirby Superstar stands out as the most pink game of my childhood

As Tradegood said Kirby isn’t pink on the gameboy.

What immediately came to mind was this guy’s head

Definitely Kirby in smash64 for me. However, my color vision isn’t so good and I sometimes confuse pink for gray and sometimes a teal. So I could have seen a pink before then without realizing it was pink.

Probably Pac-Man for me as well. But the first thing that came to mind was the pinkish levels in Boulder Dash.

Showing my age here (as always), but I owned this game and that box is burned into my brain forever.

Of course now as an adult I now realise the blue balloon on the left, they know what they did!
