    		 Very first video game? Hmmm.

    I'm pretty sure it was Pac Man. I was around 4 or 5. And I sucked at it. I had no hand-eye coordination. If I could eat a power pellet and then eat a ghost, then my day was made. Hell, I used to think the object of the game WAS to eat the ghosts. I didn't know until years later that the goal was to clear the maze of the little dots.

    Donkey Kong was probably my next game. Followed by Q-Bert.

    I didn't start getting good at video games until I was 9 years old and received my own NES. Then my skill level soared.

    		 I'm not sure. It was on Atari. I want to say Space Invaders, but I'm not sure. I was really young.

    		 It would have been Shooting Gallery on the Atarit 2600. Pong would have been a close second. Space invaders was the first Arcade video game I played.

    		 I don't remember it TOO fondly, but I do think one of my first video games was Space War or Space Invaders for the 2600... Combat was also another, as well as I think Pong...

    ...I don't know why, but the Space War seems more embedded as my first, and I don't even remember that game well, but I do think I remember getting the game system sometime in early 1981 or late 1980.

    Good times! Man, I remember right after the great video game crash in 1984, they had a bargain bin at K-B Toys with a pile of games in the front bin all for $.99. Despite some of them being completely absurd... I remember getting a lot of 'em.

    		 I'd have to say the Mario Bros./Duck Hunt for the NES. I remember spending hours trying to find warp pipes, and trying to find hints in magazines (hard to imagine it being difficult finding cheats now with the internet). I also remember being about 4 or 5 years old and putting the light gun right up against my tv screen to make sure i never missed a duck in Duck Hunt.

    		 First I played Donkey Kong Country on the SNES, then I dug my mom's Atari out of the attic and played Pong, then I bought a NES with a copy of Super Mario Bros. with my allowance.

    So, I guess they all count.

    		 I got my first game when I was 6. It was Christmas '94, and my momma bought me a Super Nintendo. Mine came with 2 games-Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World.

    		 It's wierd, i have 2 possible candidates for 1st ever game played...and bear with me, my memory is a little fuzzy on this;

    The first (and most likely) was Space Invaders 5 for the Atari 2600 (i can't be sure though, if it was then i was playing a retro console even then because i was born in 1983 :)). Like i said, very sketchy :D

    The second is by far the clearest-remembered and therefore is my considered true '1st game' and was the Mario Brothers and Duckhunt combo cartridge. We even got the lightgun with it and i fondly remember being the best at both games even though i was only 6 or 7 at the time. I even finished Mario Brothers first, and that was with an older brother :twisted:

    Coincidentally, i was the first to complete EVERY game we owned as a family. My hand-eye co-ordination must have been way beyond my years because i never needed much practice before beating everyone :)

    Pity my memory isn't up to much though, i can't remember the first SNES game i played :(

    		 The first arcade game though was the first TMNT, and i too remember begging my mum for money to play. I died quick, but still felt strangely satisfied...

    		 I think it was Mario Bros. for the NES because I remember my sister trying to make me learn the 2X Table at the same time as I discovered the secret warp zone on Level 2. It might have been Top Gun though because we got the NES and both of the games for Christmas.
    More than meets the eye motherfucker!
