Has to be alex the kid remember it took me ages to get past the first bit lol i was only a kid mind
I remember the christmas morning when I woke to my new Atari 2600. Pole Position was the first video game I ever played. I would have been 6 or 7 at the time.
Gaming is about the only thing in life that I have never got over or got sick of and probably never will.

The Super Mario Bros./ Duck Hunt game for the NES that had both.
That, or Castlevania (which I could NEVER get past the first boss back then), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or some football game, maybe Madden '98 or something? All I remember was that the Cleveland team were the Cleveland Crunch because the Browns were MIA for that time

Super Mario Brothers on the NES. Used to be my dad's then he let me play it. Came with Duck Hunt, and that was awesome too. Haha.
it was either a pc versin of mario,where I couldnt get further than the 3rd level,soldier of fortune,what I really liked,especially with all that gore and the multiplayer or doom 2,I had doom 1 too but I couldnt start it because the .exe wasnt working,and after 4-5 years I clicked another exe file and it was working
Mine was jurassic park on the nes, i used to think you played a teddy bear(i was 3/4 at the time)
Centepede and Dig Dug, on an atari that a neighbour lent to me when I was a sick likkle boy. Didn't, see a game then for years until I found a box of old floppy disks in my house and started to try them all out on our old mac, I found a star wars rebel alliance demo, a wolfenstien demo and an alien air shuttle hockey game... that I have real issues describing.
Aside from those random encounters it wasn't until I got a playstation 1 that I really got into games, I played the hell out of that black demo disk, and crash bandicoot 2 and eventually FF7 which I believe is the game that got me hooked on reading books, since the game has so much reading.
The next step was when we got a PC in the house, and I got a loan of Age of Empires II which I began to play online, and joined a clan. It was my first online multiplayer game. Shortly afterward, a few friends introduced me to Counterstrike (1.5 at the time, steam didnt exist) in an internet cafe, and we used to go play in the internet cafe every friday after school. From that point on you could say the graph spiked upwards, as the internet cafe had all sorts of games. I also got a PS2, but multiplayer and PC games quickly became my love.
Two years after my first encounter with CS 1.5 and I had saved enough money and learnt enough to order computer parts online, and built my first PC with a friend. It was top of the line at the time.
It's been about 6 years since I ordered those parts, and here I am. Still playing counterstrike

I'm not sure. It might have been Tetris or Pac-Man, Space Invaders, I dunno.
First one I absolutely cement as a gaming memory is Stonekeep for DOS systems (I have an extremely bad memory of some of my early years, so this is skipping forward quite a bit). Legendary game, I think it might be abandonware now, so pick it up and try running it on DOSbox.
Hell, I'm gonna go through my first game for every system I've played, and why the hell not. Again, largely cut ause of my twice-damned memory capabilities.
DOS: Stonekeep.
Dreamcast: The Floigan Brothers. This may be either a famous game or an underappreciated shining gem, but I love it.
N64: Super Smash Brothers.
Windows: The Secret Of Monkey Island.
PS2: James Bond: Nightfire. A local multiplayer classic. Seriously, I don't think I ever played Goldeneye's multiplayer, but this one was probably it's equal if not better in that department.
Original Xbox: Halo: Combat Evolved, which I played at a friend's after hearing great things about it, which, at the time, involved GamesMaster magazine as the sole bearer of gaming news.
GameCube: Metroid Prime. I wept many tears during the slow death of the GameCube. Not as many as for the Dreamcast mind.
Xbox 360: Halo 3. Don't listen to the haters, this is a multiplayer extravaganza, and it's infamous community of swearing 9-year olds lends proof to the Rebel748 Multiplayer theory (Not the same as the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory): Multiplayer is always better in local splitscreen play or a LAN environment. Always, and with no exceptions.
PS3: LittleBigPlanet. A personal favourite.
That's all I can think of. Here's to unneseccarily long posts!

Age 3 - 4, playing either Super Mario Bros. or Duck Hunt on the NES. I'm not sure how I felt with Super Mario Bros., but I would get frustrated with Duck Hunt and hold the Zapper at the screen to shoot.
The first game I completely finished that wasn't Mortal Kombat was probably Beavis and Butthead for Sega Genesis. We had a ton of Genesis games, so I'm just putting down the one I remember the most.
