First game played:
Oh my gosh...REALLY not sure about this...I was pretty damn young... I THINK it was Super Mario World on my oldest buddy's SNES.

First system and game owned:
Oldschool Gameboy (grey brick) with Tetris. A Christmas gift from my grandma at the age of 6-7.

First game you ever bought:
With my own money? uhh...*goes to look at all old games* I have no clue...It was probably DK country 2 though...

First FPS you ever played:
Goldeneye. With a bunch of friends. :D fun.

First game beaten:
Oh gosh... Probably Mario Land 2: 6 golden coins. Took, me a few years though, considering how much I SUCKED back then. XD I couldn't even figure out how to get to the moon world! (My mom, who really didn't even like video games, played it a bit, and found out how for me! :laughing:)

First used game you've bought:
Probably that old Gamegear sonic game my firend sold me along with the gamegear. ...very bad deal for me, it was...

First new system you've bought:
My Wii. ...Which is ironically the ONLY new system I've ever bought. All the others were either gifts, or second hand.

First PC game bought/owned:
Sonic and Knuckles collection, back in grade 4. Awesome game, and yet I only beat it a few years ago.

First used system you've bought:
Gotta be that gamegear mentioned above. And then I bought that same friend's N64 a bit later, just when the gamecube came out... :(

First RPG:
...At first I was inclined to say pokemon...but then I remembered, back in my old grade school...

It was super mario RPG (on a friend's SNES). Back then we didn't even know what an RPG was. We just thought it was short for RamPaGe. XD

Game that brought you to an online community:
It was Zelda classic. ...and if you want to trace that back...then it would be A link to the past, my first ever Zelda game.

First game bought for a system you don't own:
Metroid Prime hunters. I bought it a few weeks before I bought my DS from a friend.

[Petoe]

First game played:
Super Mario Bros. on NES. I started with the best. ;)

First system and game owned:
Super Mario Bros. and NES.

First game you ever bought:
Majora's Mask... yeah, for 15 years I didn't need to buy my games, I got them as gifts. ;)

First FPS you ever played:
Does DOOM count?

First game beaten:
Mega Man 2.

First used game you've bought:
None.

First new system you've bought:
I bought? Gamecube.

First PC game bought/owned:
I don't think I've ever bought myself a PC game.

First used system you've bought:
None.

First RPG:
Final Fantasy VI, I started with the best, and nothing after this one has felt as good. :(

Game that brought you to an online community:
Zelda Classic (version 1.90 for me)

First game bought for a system you don't own:
Twilight Princess for the Wii. I didn't own a Wii yet when I bought it.

[MottZilla]

First game played: There's no way for me to be sure. But if I were to guess, it was something for the Atari 400 or Atari 800 PC, and most likely Pac-man, Missile Command, or Joust.

First system and game owned: The first system specifically gotten for me would be the NES with SMB/DuckHunt pack-in. I can't be sure of the year.

First game you ever bought: I can't be sure, but something for NES I would guess. Maybe Mega Man 4 was the first game I spent my own money on. But I can't be sure as this was ages ago.

First FPS you ever played: Doom or Descent. Unsure of which. I'd say Descent is more likely.

First game beaten: Super Mario Bros ofcourse. Atleast that would be my guess as I have no specific memory of this. I've been playing video games since before memorys were really being made.

First used game you've bought: Again, no clue, but probably something for NES.

First new system you've bought: The first new system that I bought myself was the Nintendo 64. It was a blast. However after getting it, I also bought a Playstation and then later the DreamCast.

First PC game bought/owned: Doom Shareware on 2 Floppy Disks, most likely.

First used system you've bought: I would guess a used NES system. If not, the Sega Genesis is the next most likely.

First RPG: The first RPG I actually played deeply and beat was Final Fantasy II for the US SNES. Awesome game. Wish I still had the cartridge, not that the lack of it bars me from playing it.

Game that brought you to an online community: Zelda Classic maybe. But more likely it wasn't a game but an emulator or rather a group of emulators that brought me onto the internet forums. Nesticle, Callus, Genecyst, and ZSNES are that group of emulators.

First game bought for a system you don't own: Hm, I don't know about this one. But I do know I bought Street Fighter II' Champion Edition the arcade game long before I built a system to play it on.


While we are asking about firsts, how about adding these:

What are the first 3 NES games you played?
First 3 SNES games you played?
First 3 N64 games you played?
First 3 PS1 games you played?
First 3 Genesis games you played?
First 3 Saturn games you played?
First 3 DreamCast games you played?
First 3 GameBoy games you played?

Mainly I wanted to add the one about the SNES.

The first 3 SNES games I had and still have to this very day are Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart, and StarFox. Superb games. And I remember they were followed by Super Mario Allstars, Mega Man X, and Street Fighter II Turbo.

The first N64 game I played was no doubt Super Mario 64, but I imagine most anyone that bought the N64 early on will say that. I remember playing Shadows of the Empire early on too. But probably the first game I bought for N64 was StarFox 64. I can't remember the order in which I bought anything else though.

The first Playstation games I played I'm not sure, though I know Metal Gear Solid and Star Wars Masters of Teraskaski or whatever it was were probably the first couple. The first game I bought was no doubt Mega Man X4. Still have it to this day ofcourse.

First DreamCast games I got were Sonic Adventure and Marvel Vs Capcom. Both sweet games. Great but short lived system.

First 3 Gameboy games I can also name the exact three I bought. Zelda, Pokemon Blue, and Metroid II. This is due to them being the only 3 games I owned for the longest time. However before buying them I had played Tetris and Super Mario Land atleast.

First 3 Genesis games I played were probably all Sonic games. Can't be sure. But early games I played were Sonic, TMNT, and Predator 2.

First 3 Saturn games I played were probably Mega Man X4, Darius Gaiden, and Nights into Dreams.
