I vaguely remember -- an image, really -- of playing (or watching my older brother play, more likely) that NES 7-Up game...Not a platformer like Cool Spot, but a puzzle game if I remember correctly.

Sh*t, that's pretty hazy. My first gaming memory, though.

I can't remeber the first game I ever played but I can remeber the first few.

Super Mario Bros on my mums friends sons Nintendo. I also remeber playing Aladdin on Nintendo quite a lot.

Sonic on the sega megadrive as well as a hard as hell ninja type game.

And a PC game that I have never remembered the name of, but you started off in a room and there was all these doors that would lead off to to other worlds. It was on a floppy disk methinks.

Speaking of floppies, Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of Lounge Lizards was another early game I played on our old black-and-yellow monitered PC.

It had a short quiz at the beginning to test your age, but with a bit of trial and error anyone could bypass that joke.

Ahh, the memories...

The first I can remember is a game on our old Amstrad. I think it was called NOMAD. You had some ship that you would propel around levels and I think it could change shape or something. I wasn't very good it.

There was also Scalextric, some Track and Field type game and Trivial Pursuit that I also remember. There was some platforming one in which you would time travel as well but I can't remember what it was called. I used to love that.

Mine... was either a Gameboy game... or an Atari game. I forget which, I remember owning an Atari in kindergarden and an original Gameboy in 1st-2nd grade...

Ehhh... let's just say that Pacman was it.

The first game I remember playing is Super Mario Bros. on NES.

It's really neat that many other people have Super Mario Bros. as their first game too.

Yep mine was Nintendo Super Mario Bros. too. You couldn't pry that controller out of my hand, until my dad discovered Tetris anyway, then I had to share.

I grew up with the c64 and still have one...somewhere in this house.

First game had to be either 'frogger' or the awesome 'wizard of wor'; i remember having countless game sessions with my dad and friends with the latter:

Oh, the good times. :J

I think that game was called Zork. I remember it being text-based and it being for the Commodore C64. I imagine it was also available for MS-DOS and/or IBM basic language.
