I think mine was Burger Time for the NES... but it might have been Adventure Island 2. I do remember, however, that my first 3 games ever were Super Mario 1, 2, and 3.

It was one of my first memories, "Power Quest" for the GBC.

I remember it as if it were yesterday... My Brother got it for Christmas and I was like, "that Gameboy is SO uncool!" Little did I know, that I kept on stalking him and asking him if I could play it, but he wouldn't let me have it. It wasn't until he left it in one spot to go get a snack when I stole it and played it in the bathroom. It was then that I was first ever introducted to... VIDEO GAMES...

What a story...

The first game I ever played was Sonic 3 for Sega Genesis.

I think mine was Frogger. Or was it Ms Pac Man? Those games are fun.

Boy does this make me feel old! I still think of Game Boy Color as a fairly recent development.

Although I'm not sure which I played first, Commander Keen and Duke Nukem were my first games.

I believe it may have been Yoshi's Island for the SNES. That may even be the first game I ever played at all, unless I had discovered my mom's Coleco portable arcade version of Donkey Kong in the closet.

I think maybe the Dragon Warrior games on the NES (never could get ahold of II, though...).

Psst, Melee dude, those are Mario games.

Something on Atari 5200. My grandparents bought us the system and nearly a dozen games for Christmas when I was a kid. I may have played something at our local arcade earlier though.

Well, now that I think about it, it could've been a Texas Instruments game... I dunno... but the first game/console I officially played/owned was a SNES and Yoshi's Island.

Does it strike anyone else as odd that the "Dragon Warrior" games were huge back in the day, but are hardly ever mentioned today? I wonder why that series didn't stick around the way "Legend of Zelda" and "Final Fantasy" have.

Didn't you hear? They started using the Japanese name (Dragon Quest) over here a while back (DQ5, I think). Believe me, that series is still sticking around plenty.

I can't remember that far back so i'm chossing to do a few which i think are quite old.

NFS 3 for the pc
Legend of zelda the minish cap for the GBA
and 1 other GBA game

Actually Dragon Quest VIII was the first American release to use the original name. Dragon Quest V and VI didn't make it over here due to Enix USA closing down, while Dragon Warrior VII was released for PSX.
