I don't know, I've been around games my whole life and it's hard to know. I remember friends showing me games at their house and letting me try them, but not sure which ones. It's also possible I could have played something on my dad's work desktop, or at a store display, or an arcade machine.

I remember the Food Lion we used to go to had like one arcade machine for some reason, and when my parents were looking for groceries I was looking at the attract mode. It was some fighting game on it and I remember asking my parents for quarters to play it, getting ethered because I didn't know what I was doing, and then I got told "see it was a waste of money"

No clue. Probably something on PC or NES. Maybe Atari, as my parents had one.

I don't know for sure but most likely Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt

Either that or Zelda, Festers Quest, Excitebike, or Total Recall on Nes.

Def an NES game, though.

Either SimCity 2000 or Xenon. I remember messing around with one for 15 minutes before moving on to the other. I just don't remember the order.

I think it was probably an old dos games called digger or something similar.

It didn't cause an impression.

The earliest memory of a video game that I played that absolutely shocked me an excited me was StarCraft one.

I had played many videos games by then, but the combination of base building, great music and amazing cutscenes (for the time) completely shocked me when I saw it at my friends house, and I run out to buy it.

This was the first game I ever played back when I was around 6 years of age. I still remember that friend's name even tho I haven't seen him since then. The first game I ever owned myself tho was Sonic The Hedgehog 1.
