Hmmm...as far as I can remember, I believe it was either Asteriods or Tank for the Atari 2600. Those sure were the days, when everything was simple but fun...(^_^).

My neighbor had an atari and the only game he had was Pitfall. Also my second game I played was a WWF game on the NES. As a not I was about 4 or 5 at the time.

Yikes, hard to remember.

I believe my first console game was for the NES, but I can't remember unfortunately. Might have been Friday the 13th or Godzilla. My first Handheld game however was more memorable: Metroid 2. I didn't put that game down until I had 100%.

Well, my first videogame was the Super Mario Bros. / Duckhunt combo cartridge, and I suppose my first system was the NES. I was smaller at the time so I mainly just watched my dad play. The first game I played that got me into gaming on my own was Goldeneye 64 on the N64. At the time I was just blown away with how fun it was. It hooked me on gaming.
My first portable was Metroid 2, as well. I didn't put that down until I had 100% either... what a great game.

I vaguely remember playing Pacman when i was really little, but the first games I clearly remember playing were things like Glider, Klondike, Zork and Hitchhiker's Guide on my mum's friend's Mac Classic.

My first three games I started playing back in the days was Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt and you guess it, Phantasy Star. My older sister Had the Sega System Master during that time period while my parents purchase for me the Nintendo system.

Super Mario Bros. (duh)

Handheld? ... Tetris for original Gameboy

First game that really ever captivated me? Final Fantasy 7

I know... but really... I had that game preordered, even with FF1, 2, and 3 at home (now 4 & 6), but it was 7 that I rented back to back for an entire week before it's release to beat it before it came out. And I still went and bought it the day it came out. Even got my shirt with cloud on it too :P I don't have it anymore but I think my brother has his somewhere... faded beyond repair.

Oh the memories...

Ninja Gaiden 2 for the NES... Took me a YEAR to complete... Totally dug it...

My dad bought a Nintendo for us when we were kids and it came with Nintendo World Cup and Super Spike Bolley Ball in one cartridge, but my dad bought Ninja Gaiden 2 since he heard we liked ninjas, haha. When my younger brother and I beat the game with our youngest brother, we were all happy and crazy. Not only because the ending was so nice, but because MAN, that game was a source of anger for all of us because of how hard it was. Still, we all remember Ninja Gaiden 2 as one of our favorites in videogames.

I eventually got Ninja Gaiden 1 and Ninja Gaiden 3. We LOVE those games...
