Mine was Tetris for the original Game Boy.

Some sort of educational thing for the TI-99/4A. I don't think I ever knew the name.

Good question. I believe it was Killer Instinct for the Game Boy.

My memory doesn't go back far enough for me to give an accurate answer...I'd say it was probably Blake Stone or Wolfenstein 3D.

Mine was space invaders for the GBC. Prior to that, I watched my cousin play Crash Banidcoot for the PlayStation.

Just after receiving Super Mario Land for the Game Boy, I got GOLF. It was actually a pretty fun game. On the N64, our first non-Mario game was probably Star Wars Episode One Racers.

The name escapes me, it was some space shooter for the NES.

The one after that being the original LoZ.

I pretty much have a 3-way tie, all on PC and circa 1989.

A game where you drove a car that could jump high left-to-right and jumped motorcycles, cars, and dodged falling rocks maybe. I think it was called Off-Road.

Some sort of Defender port (not that I realized it at the time).

The earliest games I remember actively and coherently playing were Top Gear, Cybernator and an old game on an old computer that was very crusty even twelve years ago: Troll's Tale.

Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Genisis.

Probably a Frogger arcade machine. Aside from that, probably some ancient PC games, Rogue or Dracula In London.

Probably Pokémon Red.

"Duck Hunt." It had just come out on a 2-fer cartridge with "Super Mario Bros," and I played both with the girl next door (I never had an original Nintendo of my own). I don't remember which one I played first, but I exclusively played "Duck Hunt" for a long time after my first attempt at "Mario" discouraged me. Shooting stuff is a lot easier for a kid than navigating through a sidescroller.
