Other than Pong or Pacman, the first console game I recall owning was Alex Kidd in Miracle World on the Master System. Still a classic game. Before that I had a Commodore Vic 20 and played many awful games. I think one was Adventureland, a text based adventure. Remember something about chiggers.....

Actually, before that even I think I must have played Grannies Garden on the school BBC.

Oh hell, I've no idea where I started!

My brother always tells me that I beat the first level of the original Mario Bros on the NES before I could talk.

So Mario Bros. smile

I've played few ATARI-games-like being child 5 years old.
But I can't find this console. The graphics were monochrome with simple geometric shapes.
Second I remember Super Mario Bros. on SNES.
The third was Duke Nukem 3D & Blood on PC.

.. in all these ancient times of my childhood there were NO INTERNETS anywere ..

The first games I ever played were on Atari. I used to play my grandmom in Space Invaders all the time. Favorite game as a kid was Zelda: Link's Awakening.

I do have memories of playing an aracde game when I was very young, but don't know what it would have been. My friend had a 2600 that we played various things on, but the first game I would have owned was Tetris on the original Game Boy

The first system I remember playing was Sega Genesis. Me and my dad would play Bio Hazzard, Bonanza Brothers, and Streets of Rage 2. Then he bought a SNES from a guy at work that had tons of games and first few I remember playing on that was Super Mario Bros which had everything unlocked, a Batman game which I sucked at, and then I put my Pokemon Red into my gameboy adapter and played that for hours. This was back when I was in Pre-school I believe.

Didn't play video games really when I was young, but when I started, Super Monkey Ball. Fun fact: I invested enough time to get 6 world records in the first and second.
I can read your mind... I know you have Xbox Live.

First game I ever "Owned" came with my first console, which was the Master System 2, and it was pre-loaded with Alexx Kidd in Miracle world. Recently bought the Sega collection so I could play it again. First game I played was one of the Dizzy games on the Spectrum that my dad had.
