My earliest game related memory is playing Death Star Interceptor on the ZX-81. That was released in 1985...

I didn't start playing games really seriously until Super Mario 64 around September of 2000.

Late 80s. I got a NES on the tail end of the system. The early 90s and the Genesis is what made me the gamer that I am today though.

1984, the first game I ever played as an educational game for schools, a game called Granny's Garden. Basic maths, English and so on. It wasn't bad, easy though.

It must have been late 80's early 90s I remember my friend had an NES and we'd spend hours playing it. I then was able to get my hands on an SNES. (now a boring story but I like to reminisce)

I remember my mom and I spent hours playing supermario world together. After we finally beat that we moved onto home alone. Sometimes after I was put into bed I could still hear her staying up at night playing a bit longer. It's funny though once I moved onto the playstation and subsequent systems she never played anymore. I'm sure I didn't notice it at all at the time but looking back I really miss those times together.

Maybe videogames were just more fun back then?

My best guess would be 1997, Donkey Kong Country.

When I was 4 in 1998. The games that started me out were FF 8, the first Ape Escape, the Crash Bandicoot, and Super Mario Land 2: Six Coins (never remember it's name, so I don't know if that's right.

Around 1976~ (mid 70'S anyway). Commodore 64 with 5" floppies. Fav game at time for me I can't recall the title (Martian Invasion?) Your lunar lander touched down and you had to find your abandoned crewmates from earlier failed misson, but there were martians around too-looking like your crew. The best memories came from Castle Wolfenstein, though. In 2D-it was like an arcade scroller, only the view was from above. Ha! can youimagine that?
