Some of us have been with games since the beginning, some of us have just began playing, regardless we all started with a certain game.

I'm 15, and have been playing games since I was 4. My first game (I can't remember the title), was a game made in the early 90's. I played it on my dad's old Apple II. It took place in a castle, where you play a character that has to solve a series of questions, to get around the castle. The questions ranged from sports to politics. I was very young, and I barely knew any of the answers, so I just spent my time clicking on random choices (A, B, C, D). Even so, I enjoyed it. If only I could remember the title, I want to start playing again..

Anyway, what was your first game?

I'm currently 17 aswell and I've been gaming since the age of 1 or 2, it was on the Atari. I believe it to be Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Super Mario World for the SNES, me and my friends would play every day before elementary school, ah the memories.

Seriously? I really can't remember...

I mean i think it might have been a sega game because that was my first console...and i have some recollection of some games i played on it, like Sonic, Jurassic Park, Ristar, among others...

Strangely enough i hate Sonic *glee*.

Now the game that marked my childhood the most was (and i say this with a sigh) Final Fantasy 7. It just did. and i was a fanboy over that game for a while, but now I've grown up and become well....a fanboy in a bigger body i guess <_<.

One of my earliest memories is gaming on some Sega system. I can't even remember the game only little flashes of it, the next I can actually remember was StarFox on the Nintendo 64.

My gaming life started with Spyro the Dragon. I never actually completed it fully, Haunted Towers have a place where you need a timing that's directly on the millisecond.

My first game played was Mario Bros 3. on the NES at my then babysitter's house when I was 3. The first game I owned was Super Mario World for the SNES (which I also got). From there it was Link to the Past and Harvest Moon. Best games ever.

Quake on my cousin's computer. The nailgun was the best thing that happened to me after I got a bunk bed at age 3.

For starters I'll say that I'm 24.

The first video game I can remember playing was Super Mario Bros., as I received an NES as an Easter Gift (of all things) when I was four or five.

Before that I may have played a few slightly more obscure PC games, though. Most of them pretty generic clones of other games.

Very memorable game. Quite big and complex for the Atari 2600. Did you manage to finish it? I did once, but I needed a hintbook. :)

My first game is most likely Missile Command. I remember playing it on an arcade machine in Austria when I was on vacation. That's.... 28 years ago now, more or less. ;)

Diddy Kong Racing and Super Mario 64, which stands as the only video game I've gotten my dad to play.

earliest I can think is Pokemon colosseum on my friend's N64. I had no idea what I was doing but he asked me to beat the game for him and I did. It just was that good of a gateway game.

No I did not. I played that game 'till I was 10, barely making any progress. That game was not meant for the mind of a 1-10 year old.

Fluffylandmine, why is your avatar animal farm?

First one that made me a gamer was Call of Duty 3 on the Wii. Got me addicted to FPS. Made me buy Call of Duty 1 and 2. Thus making me a gamer when I got my first gaming PC last year.

Wy first game was a old Dos game Eco Quest, it kinda shoe-horned recycling and environmental friendliness into the whole plot but I still have fond memories of that point and click game. However the first system I owned was the Gamecube, I had SSBM and much fun was had.

Err, no. I'm damn sure it shot nails, not bursts of energy. And a railgun is not better than my Sesame Street bunk bed, good sir.

...unless it shot out unused copies of E.T. for the ATARI 2600 to try and wipe them from the face of the planet.

The first game I played was the Light Gun game built into the old Master System. Tetris followed soon after (obviously not on the MS)
