    Mine was Super Mario Land 2: The 6 Golden Coins on the GameBoy. My Dad let me use it when I was really little.

    Mine was Castlevania II: Simons Quest. I grew up on the NES and that was one of my most fave games.

    I think the first game I ever played was either Mr Bones on the Saturn or Duck Hunt on the NES.

    I do not know, if I have posted something before in an earlier post, but I think the first game I played was Silkworm on the Amiga. In the 90's.
    And ever since I have taken "revenge" in that area, cause I have played a LOT of games since then, both older and younger than that.

    First arcade game was Space Invaders.
    First console game was Food Fight for Atari 7800. The instant replay feature totally blew me away.

    Oregon Trail on DOS.

    Certainly not a game of my generation, but my Dad played it all the time. One day I decided to try.

    Home console? Something from my older brother's Atari 2600. River Raid, Enduro, Keystone Kapers... Can't remember really.

    Arcades? Probably Pole Position.

    I can't remember what the first video game I ever played was (probably Space Invaders in the arcade, or a home 'console' version of Pong, either one in the late 70s), but the first video game I ever bought was Jetpac, for my shiny new Spectrum, in 1983. A fantastic game, especially by the standards of the day.

    Mario Kart 64, but I think I played Virtua Racing on Mega Drive when I was much much younger like 4 1/2, memory is super foggy on that one.

    I think my first game was ether Super Mario Bros.(/Duck Hunt) or Sonic.
    I had (and still have the same) NES and Genisis back then.

    Somewhat ironic though was "back then" was about 1999 - 2000.

    I didn't get a modern console till 2001 when I got the PS1 console.

    (also, a side note is that all of these were really my dad's consoles at the time)

    Not sure. I've tried to figure this out before, but there's really no way of knowing. I know that long before I had my own console, I played games in arcades, at kiosks, and at other people's houses. I didn't have my own console until I was 7 or 8 (Genesis). So if I had to guess, I'd say it was probably an arcade game, but I'm not sure what.
