Man..Some of you guys make me feel old. I started with a few text based games but I dont remember what would be my first. As far as console goes I would have to say
E.T (Yes..I was an owner ofthe worst game EVER) or Pong on Atari 2600. I also remember one called crack pot. I think it consisted of dropping pots on spiders from the top of a wall. I was probably 3 years old or so playing this shit in the early 80's

I also owned ET. I was young back then and never knew it was such a bad game. I played it a lot.

It was either a (pretty good) SpiderMan game for the Super Nintendo, Donkey Kong (same system), or Breath of Fire.

Super Mario and Duck Hunt on Nintendo, late 80s.

This.

First online games I played were pay-per-hour on AOL. Splatterball which was a FPS paintball game followed by Legends of Kesmai which was more or less the first graphical MMORPG. My parents paid $1.99 or something per hour for me to play those damn games. Now people think $15 per month is a lot to spend :lol:

Pokemon Yellow Version. :hbang:

EDIT: Scratch that. Played King's Quest 5 and Road Runner (the one with the monks or something like that) at my grandma's house before that. :lol:
