Demon Attack on the Intellivision. I always died on the wave right after the first demon fortress thing.

that's a tough question. My memories of those times are really sketchy. The first game I remember renting for myself was Mega Man, but that wasn't the first game I ever played. I'm sure Mario bros or Duck Hunt was before then... So probably Super Mario Bros.

Too late. I have no idea what my first game was. If I had to take a guess, it was Sonic the Hedgehog, but I can't guarantee that. We did have a NES that broke when I was super super little, and there is a chance I tried to play that.

I honestly cant remember if I got a Gameboy Colour or a Playstation first =S If it was the Gameboy then a Wario game. If it was the Playstation then either Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon X)

i was like five, it was on Atari or Amiga methinks it was called something along the lines of Crazy Football or Mad Rugby...

the idea was match of American Football. You control one player, try to get the ball and such. twist is, melee weapons everywhere on stadium. fuckin awesome.

Quite simply, Super Mario Bros. Good times, my friends. Good times.

The second one was Road Rash: Jailbreak and the third one was some brutal racing game. I forgot its name.

I have no idea....

The game that ultimately got me into gaming however, that was Super Mario 64... I sat down and 100%ed that game and damn it felt good.

It was probably Super Mario Bros. or some Flintstones game for the NES(or SNES, it wasn't my console, so I don't know the difference). If not them it was Tetris or some silly mini-game.

Sonic the Hedgehog for SEGA Mega Drive

And so it began.
Yeeeeeessssssss...this was the first game I owned and really fell in love with. But the first game I ever remember playing, even if I had no idea what was going on?

The original Phantasy Star. I didn't even know the name until I played it on the GBA again many many years later and recognized the main character.

Super Mario World. Sometimes I think I should be a lot more loyal or a bigger supporter of Nintendo.

Something on my ancient 486. Probably King's Quest or Digger or the ASCII Pac Man clone that came with the computer.

I have news for you OP, some of us clearly DID forget.

The earliest games I remember playing were actually demos that came free with things, mostly because we were too poor to afford consoles when I was growing up.

My earliest memories were of Jazz Jackrabbit, Rollercoaster Tycoon and a Lion King game that I'm pretty certain came free in a cereal box! They were all demos so I only got the first few levels for free but DAMN, did I ever play the SHIT out of those few levels!

The Lion King game was a limited use sort of disc so it stopped working after a while... I was devastated! Ahh such memories.

Adventure, a.k.a. Colossal Cave Adventure, on my Black Apple ][ (my parents were both in the educational field so I was able to get one of the only-sold-to-school Bell & Howell models) back in 1979.

Do I wish it were something different? Hell no! It was a great brain-tester, required a lot of imagination, and I still remember cracking up at the line "Congratulations, you have just vanquished a dragon with your bare hands! (Unbelievable, isn't it?)"

I think it was Duck Hunt, but I was probably 3 or 4 so I don't really remember if there was anything before that
