Three way answer-

Arcade- Galaga or PacMan, I honestly don't remember but it must have been.

PC- Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? On my dad's pre-286 HP "laptop"... it weighed like 45 pounds

Console- Pitfall on Atari 2600. FTW Pitfall Harry! FTW!

The very first game I ever touched was probably Mummy's Tomb on C64. This was preschool years maybe?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES when I was about four. Interesting story behind that, actually...

My grandmother (during one of our monthly visits) told my dad that she had bought an NES at a garage sale, but it didn't work. I vaguely remember watching him take it apart before falling asleap (I was watching with interest, but bear in mind because I was five at the time). Later, my dad woke me up and asked me if I wanted to play. So I did. He told me as I was playing that he had to take it apart twice in order to figure out how it worked.

Anyway, my grama got up later and freaked out for not getting her up. Later she bought me some Legos so that I wouldn't play on the NES. I still play with Legos to this day (and I'm almost twenty).

Apologies if the above narrative was unnessecary; I always thought it was interesing, and may very well be what got my father into computers in the first place.

My first game was Z! Man i loved that game. Played it with my brothers. Never got pass map 3.
Z, Z, Z, Z, Z, Z. Something about that rings a bell. I just can't really place it in its context.

Anyhoo. My first game was. Uhm. It was either some kind of a platform game. Possibly "Rainbow Island.". Or Crash Test Dummies. Oh how I loved that game. It was great fun.
Too bad I lost the disc somewhere too early ..
Oh yeah. Both of them are on Commodore

And last. You're quite happy now, eh Escapist forumers. Now that I've looked through the archieves rather than double post a thread? =D

My first game was Pac Man I think, if not it was breakout followed by the tank game that came with my Atari 2600.

Yes, I am dating myself here.

The first game I remember playing was Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis...those were the days..

The first game I was really addicted to was FFVII, though.
