Sonic the hedgehog 2 for Sega Genesis back in early 90's.I played a lot of Mortal Kombat,Street Fighter II,& other 2D/3D fighters at the arcades also.I think I was around 10 years old at the time when fighters got popular at the arcades.

Umm, I remember playing SimFarm, Transarctica and beating Red Alert and Warcraft II when I was like 6 years old? 8? I don't know.

I also played a lot of "The incredible machine". That game rules and probably made me think about being engineer.

I've been playing games my whole life. I don't even remember when I first started. Probably in the womb somehow.

The first system I had was the Colecovision. I later got an Odyssey 2 for $1 dollar at a school fundraiser auction. I used to play Oregon Trail at school on an Apple IIe. In the summer of 1986 I busted my butt mowing lawns throughout the neighborhood to get enough money to buy a Nintendo Entertainment System. I still have that old NES. We had a lot of good times. I bought a SNES when they came out. I bought the N64 when it came out. I bought a PS2 about a year after its first release. I haven't bought another console since then. I did by a new laptop a few months ago though. I didn't buy it to be a gaming machine, but it can handle a lot of the new generation of games that are out now and I'm catching up on the games I missed out on by never buying a PS3 or Xbox 360.

When I think of my first gaming experiences bitter fights with my brother over who was hogging the NES come to mind. That was probably late 80s early 90s.

Super Mario Bros. on the NES, back in good old 1993.

The first recollection I have of playing a video game was either playing Adventure Island II at my dads house during a summer break when I was a youngling, or watching my cousin playing Crash Test Dummies on the first Gameboy.

Well my Uncle Larry took be outside behind his toolshed and told me we were going to play a game, and we had to keep it a secret. . . oh, you must be talking about videogame experiences!

The first system I ever had was a genesis that came with Sonic 2. Unless you count the crappy lcd sonic 2 game I got before that. Before that I wasn't into games that much at all. I just came home one day and tom and jerry wasn't on, it got replaced by some crappy show called adventures of sonic the hedgehog. Except I liked that show and when I found it it was a game too I had to have one.

My first gaming experiences were on the Atari 2600/NES in 80's and in arcades when I played Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, and many other games...

I was 6 years old, and I tended to play by myself. My mom got concerned, so she tried to find something I could play with that I could invite other kids over to play with me. So I got an NES with Mario Bros./Duck Hunt.

That backfired.
