Metroid, for the Nintendo. I had like 40 games for that system, but that if the only one I can remember really.
Dude, even I played SNES as a kid, and it wasn't new, I'm 16. But I really can't remember. I liked games for ages but mostly as a child watched my brother play and maybe join in on multiplayer. My first console was a preowned PS1. Good games, but the controller kept me from getting a PS2 (plus my brother got it so there was no point). After I got an Xbox, then a Wii and 360. Sadly, Nintendo was my favourite company, but the first console that wasn't handheld that I got from them was the Wii (probably the worst console). I didn't need consoles before then sicne my brother had them.
Sonic the Hedgehog for the Megadrive when I was but a wee one. Then the Megaman games, as well as other NES titles.
That's where it all began.

It was either Quake 2 or Crash Bandicoot that really got me into it. Or Pokemon, it was a long time ago and I have a shitty memory.
when I was really little, I got into gaming from the original Sonic the Hedgehog, and then a few years later I started playing the first Crash Bandicoot. Ugh, I really feel old... I'm only fifteen, but then just old enough to have gotten into gaming really young and still fondly remember the classics. I'm one of those people that will fight the new generation of gamers when they say the classics suck. You have to have grown up with something from the 90s at latest to have an opinion on gaming. Otherwise you're no better than the kids spamming xbox live and everything else like it.(I'm so glad I wasn't born a little later or got into gaming after the year 2000 or I'd be one of them)
After Crash Bandicoot I resurged with pokemon yellow, went on gaming from there.

For my 9th birthday, my mother got me a GBASP and Pokemon Ruby.
-casts gaze over to 360, Wii, DSLite, SP and many, many games-
I'm sure she regrets it.

Well, for 4 and a half years I didn't have many games other than Trackmania and a 100-shareware-games thingy, so I suppose them.
super mario bros. would be one. Oh WCW vs. NWO on the N64. Yes I played a pro wrestling game, and yes it was awesome. The game that made me fall in love with rpg's was Morrowind.
whene I was 7, for my birthday my mum bought me a brand new SNES, and with it came this life-altering game:
Very first game i ever played, and it kicked off my life long obsession with gaming [sub][sub][sub]and other stuff I wont get into here...[/sub][/sub][/sub]
Zool was an early one, as was superfrog - there was an earlier game but I can't remember the name of it. It was a cutesy platformer on the amiga and the name of it began with B. Oh! There was also rainbow islands - that game was released the year I was born. 
I got into gaming early, heh.

Diablo 2 is what turned me into a gamer. I played it once for 18 hours straight. It was one of my best days ever.
Oh to be young again... Well younger anyway.

I've been interested in games since I was, like, four, but my brother never let me play his videogames, and my parents thought it was boys' stuff for the longest time.
Then when I was about... 13? 14? my mom finally caved to my videogame love and bought me American McGee's Alice/Clive Barker's Undying as a Christmas present, and that was what really got me into actually playing and studying videogames (I'm another one of those "GAMES CAN BE ART!!!!!" nerds).
Also, my stepdad enabled me by saying I could play any of his videogames on his computer. He had Half-Life (still one of my top-3 favorites!) and Diablo 2.
