My first Game I ever played was the commander keen series on PC. My first console game ever was a game For the Sega Saturn called Bug!;)
I can't remember the very first game I ever played, but the first PC game I ever played was Duke Nukem 3D on an old Compaq with a 486 CPU, 16MB Ram, 750Mb HD and no soundcard. I bought a Soundblaster, installed it and experienced a whole new dimension of fun with that enabled during Duke3D.
Played: some shockingly bad platformer/shooter on the Atari 2600.
Enjoyed: Super Mario. :love: Though I've still yet to complete it.

Ditto, Doom just drew me into it's world or demons and barrel explosions like a bee to honey.

some indiana jones game, it was way back, I think in the late 80's. Cant remember the computer though, may have been an amstrad or something like that. The game that really hooked me into gaming was Ninja commando on the commodore 64. The game that got me heavily into PC gaming was Duke nukem 3d

Falcons for the Apple II.

As a teacher, my father had access to computers early in the 70s so he brought one home every summer when I was a kid. We had an Apple II clone with an ugly monochrome green screen and that one game, Falcons. It was a Space Invaders clone where the aliens drop down individually in specific patterns. I was born with a joystick in my hands, with that game.
After that he brought home an old 8086, a little obscure game that asked me if I wanted to be a Hero got installed and I was hooked forever. :D

Not really 100 percent sure.
It was either Pong on the Atari 2600, or Mario on the NES.

Not sure. Would have been Captain comic, Aldo or space war on PC and probably Shark! Shark! on console (intelivision)
Games on some CD-Rom called "Starhawks" or something, it was 12 years ago I dunno :p
Apart from that my first games were Doom and some of those classic Apogee titles like Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure or Crystal Caves.

I think it was Wolfenstein-3D and after that Doom - which my uncle downloaded for me - it took the whole day. Those two, and of course all the Apogee titles.

Not really 100 percent sure.
It was either Pong on the Atari 2600, or Mario on the NES.

Played: School Bus Driver, I think it was called. Fisher Price made it, as well as a series of similar games (Played them all, but forget what the others actually were). I enjoyed it well enough at the time. :)
Really enjoyed: Doom Shareware, shortly followed by Ultimate Doom. :D
Pretty sure not long after Doom did I play Wolf3D.
Consoles: Either Duck Hunt or Darkman on the NES (All that came after I played Doom)

First game? Probably Supaplex, Wolf3D, or something on the Atari.
But going back to the more recent past--I've been playing Splinter Cell actually. Pretty fun to play the original Xbox ones on the 360 with a wireless controller. :)

OK....... where do i start? When i was about 4 years old. My parents just got my 8 year old big brother a game called keen. And Almost every morning I Woke up About 6:00 A.M just to watch him play keen 1 & 4 (mostly 4).
But then a few years later we got a Sega Saturn from My cousin. I always played a game called Bug! and played it forever when i first played it. But about after a few years later it broke. Later that year I got a PS2 for christmas. I got addicted to Need for speed 2 alot. But in about mid-2008 it's disc drive stopped working, then i got a wii, So nowadays I'm playing games
Like COD 5, The Conduit, Super Mario Galaxy, Wii sports, and Super Smash bros. brawl. Whew, That's my video game timeline.:insomnia:
The first game I remember playing was Atari's Lunar Lander arcade game. There was also a submarine arcade game, but I don't remember the name. My first home game was probably Combat, since that was the VCS pack-in. I'm pretty sure my dad also bought Adventure and Laser Blast along with the VCS.

The first game I can remember playing myself must have been Boulderdash on my families ancient IBM PC back in the 80's.

The first I can remember was Gyruss for NES, Dad bought an NES with 2 games for me and my sis, mine was Donkey Kong Classics, hers Gyruss. I naturally liked Gyruss more so we traded.
It probably would have been Mario but he bought the core system so no mario or zapper.

Captain Comic was the first game I remember playing. My dad had an old 80286 nearly 20 years ago now, and once a week or so he'd bring home an Apogee shareware game, so I got to play through Duke, Cosmo etc.
First console game would probably have been Mario on the NES. First console game I owned was Sonic 2 on the Mega Drive (Genesis in the US). Still probably my favourite game in the world.

First game I remember playing was Missile Command on my uncle's Atari 2600, way back somewhere around late 70's/early 80's. Not 100% certain when. Just that I was too young to realize how much I sucked at it.
