For me, I guess it was Super Mario Bros. for the NES. What about you?

I can't remember exactly what game was the first since i got a few all at once, but it was on the Atari 130xe, probably Dig Dug, Frogger and Donkey Kong.

First mainstream console game after that would be Super Mario on NES.

Then first PC game would be Ultima 7 on a 386sx pc in 1992.

Not 100% sure, we had an early 80s computer, Texas instrument I believe, and a bunch of educational games for it. Those were my first games but I was really young and can't remember much about them.

The first game I actually remember was for the 2600, a space ship shooter called Tic Tac and made by Sega.

Not sure. It was probably the arcade Pac-Man or Asteroids. My first home console game was Pac-Man for the Atari 2600.

Mario Party 3, although the N64 had been replaced by the GameCube at that point.

I always tried to play Ocarina of Time, but got freaked out and turned off the system when it became night in Hyrule Field....

The first I can remember playing was Jurassic Park for the Game Boy but I'm sure I played some others before that.

I received my NES with that Mario/Duck Hunt/World Track-somethingoranother bundle. I also got Rad Racer thrown in with that iirc. Of course that was my first console games. If random arcade games from stores/laundromats/whatever also counts then i have no idea what was first. Probably something like Spyhunter, i remember seeing that one at a bowling alley but i cant be sure.

I honestly can never remember sadly. Maybe it was PacMan on the GameBoy or something on the Sega Genesis like a Power Rangers game. My older brother was the gamer for a while and I didn't really take interest until around the PS1/N64 era, the N64 being the first console I ever had to myself.

It's either the Duck Hunt/ Super Mario bros. combo for NES (which btw, for some weird reason I had an irrational fear of the title music for Duck Hunt...I have no explanation) or Top Gun for NES...I even had a cool joystick for it.

I think it was some Atari game - can't remember.

But the first video game I owned myself was Super Mario Bros. on the original NES.

A paint game on an old computer. From what my parents told me, I was two and they thought there was no way I could remember that far. However I remember playing with it in the kitchen at night. My dad beside me and mom watching from the counter top.

When I was 5 I used to beg my mom for quarters at the corner store to play Galaga. It was around 1980 or so.

Impossible to tell since I play since I can remember myself. The best I can do is a PC game, platformer possibly in the early 90s with red walls and a guy you controlled.

Me too. I think I played it at the same time as Mario 2. I remember watching my Mom play and then her handing the controller to me, saying "your turn".

Well, it was Pong back in the 1970's but then a hiatus until January 1997 with the original Diablo on my brand new and first PC. Plenty of games after that.

Super Mario Bros. (NES). I played this game on a console that I'm not familiar with now.
