Your very first game

[Master Gunner]

I would have being around 4 or 5 when I started playing games, so I can't really remember them all that well. I remember one of my earliest ones was a DOS puzzle/adventure game based on nursery rhymes (that's right, I learned my nursery rhymes from computer games). The earliest one that I can actually remember the name of would probably be Duke Nukem 3D, although I know there were many earlier than that. I remember playing Commander Keen around that time too.

...Playing Duke Nukem when I was 5 probably explains a few thing...

[Keith K]

Something on Colecovision...

Maybe Buck Rogers?

[WobblyTable]

I remember beating Beast a few times on the lower difficulty levels when I was much younger.

[Matt]

The first game I ever beat was Kirby's Adventure on the NES.

I loved that freaking game.

[Evisr]

First game I've ever played was Solitaire for Windows 3.1

First game I've ever completed.. hmm I would have to put my finger on either Super Mario Bros. or Quake 1

[Smidge]

First game ever played, Galaxian ( I think on the Apple II, not sure ).

First game ever owned Super Mario Bros / Duck Hunt, combo cart for the NES

First game ever beaten without cheats. Not sure, either Skate Boardin' for the Atari 2600, or Faxanadu for the NES.

[Keith K]

Dude, you beat Faxanadu? I bow to you sir.

[Billy Hero4Hire]

hmmmm...I've been playing video games since I was being potty trained. The i'm not sure but I think my first game I ever played I think was Spyro the Dragon for Playstation. The first game I ever beat on my own I think was Spyro: Ripto's Rage

[Fatty_bo_Batty]

Ah, spyro... good times.

[iEatNinjaZ]

First game I ever played: Bionic Commando

First game I ever owned: Homeworld

First game I ever beat: Mario Bros.

First game that made me break my controller: Need for Speed Underground

[Fatty_bo_Batty]

ohh, I snapped a controller while playing Bloody Roar 2 with my brother.

[AwesomeAndrew]

Super Mario All Stars for SNES.

[CtMolloy]

I don't remember. But it would have been something on the atari 7800, being hte first system i ever had.

[Jillers]

First game ever played: Final Fantasy/Mario/LoZ... those types
First game ever owned: Oddworld: Abe's Odessey
First game ever beaten on my own without any help: Castlevania? Maybe Legend of Zelda? Could have very well been Loom akshully.

[Billy Hero4Hire]

Ah, spyro... good times.

Yeah the first three Spyro games for PS1 are a great series. Then Enter The Dragonfly and A Hero's Tail came out and I was quite let down. However the new Legend of Spyro Trilogy looks rather good. I have yet to play any of them but I really want to. Can anyone tell me if they are good or not because the look FARbetter than I expected after seeing Enter The Dragonfly and A Hero's Tail.
I hope they are good.

[Fatty_bo_Batty]

yeah, spyro went the way of sonic.

... i stopped playing when you were being a bazooka penguin.

[Genghis Ares]

I played a bunch of games on NES at my Grandparents house, and they also had a PC with Wolfenstein 3D and Sim City 2000. But I don't think I ever really beat any of those games because I didn't have enough time and, of course, you couldn't save. Also, I was like 5 to 8-years-old. I did have some passwords and a game-genie for NES, but I can barely remember what I had beaten. I'm sure I beat SMB3, Super C, Life Force and a few others. Also, I had a Genesis and I'm sure I beat Two Crude Dudes on it.

[the amativeness]

First game I ever technically beat was Wolfenstein 3D (All six episodes, NO cheat codes)

I had played a number of Intellivision games before that, but like Atari the game NEVER ENDS...

[RathWolf]

First game I ever played was TMNT II: Turtles in time on my cousin's SNES.
First game I ever owned was Battletoads for the Gameboy.
First game I ever beat...hmm...probably Pokemon Red.(mainly because it was the first game I owned that when you "lost", you didn't have to start from the beginning of the game)

[Zet]

first game I ever played? easy, Super Mario Bros. on the NES
first game I ever owned was Super Mario World on the Snes, odd that...

[Billy Hero4Hire]

yeah, spyro went the way of sonic.

... i stopped playing when you were being a bazooka penguin.

Sgt. Byrd?

[Space Jump]

First game I ever beat was either Kirby's Dream Land or LoZ: Link's Awakening, both for the NES. (EDIT: Oops. "both for the original Game Boy.")

First game I ever played? I'm pretty sure it was King's Quest.

[Hakaryu]

Dream Land and Links Awakening were both on the Brick.

[Space Jump]

Yep - yep. Typo on my part. I meant the Brick.

[Intellectually funky]

The First I remember.... was Super Mario World for the Snes, but i'm told we had a Nes and I had played contra and Super mario bros. I don't remember the Nes though.
