My parents gave me a quarter to play on a "cocktail" style arcade version of Galaga at a great restaurant on the way to our cottage back in 1985. I was very young, had just finished a cheesedog with fries and gravy, and can remember feeling guilty for having not washed my hands.
That was my first game too that I can remember. I know it was some space ship game... This was back in the early 80's .. I am sure my first console game may have been mario brothers on nintendo, but then again I played atari too.
My first game was on the MSX and play from an casette. I remember it being an game in with you controlled and UFO and flown in a cave and having to do some simple math to open the gates. I was......I dunno must have been 3-4 (I believe we had the amiga when I was 5)....so a very long time ago :P
prolly a tie beween some snake game where you were made of balls and ate other balls on the atari or the original oregon trail for the apple computer with the all green monitor.
My first game wassss...well our neighbour had a famicom so the games I played were those ones from there and they were all japanese (hence why i call it famicom)
Those games really werent memorable but when the super famicom arrived first game that got me totally hooked was this...Im not sure what the game wascalled but it was this mario-like game with cavemen and it was co op
best friggin game ever. We didnt have a super famicom but I walked 20 mins with my cousin to a game shop where we payed per hour toplay games.

The first one I can remember playing was an arcade game call Out Run. It's was a racing game, blew lots of quarters on it at the corner market that had a couple of arcade games.
my first game... you mean theres a difference between v games and reality?
Interestingly though so many remember the first (probably crappy) game you played, to be honest I have no relcolection.. then again I was probably 5 years old so maybe that wouldnt be so surprising.. still remembered my neighbour got himself an atari gaming console (or hell I think it was one anyway). Back in the day Id rather play monopoly/random crappy boardgame instead of what was on the gaming market at the time. I wasnt that much into games before we got our first nintendo with Super mario and duck hunt which I on the other hand enjoyed a bit too much perhaps.
We got Pong on a console that you plugged into your television around 1974 or 1975. That was the first video game I ever played. It was pretty cool, and I couldn't really (at the time) imagine doing anything more than something like Pong. Sometime around '80, I got to play Star Castle at one of our friend's house because he worked on video games. I don't remember anything between Pong and Star Castle.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

I honestly can't remember. It was either a clone of defender on my schools bbc micro http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Micro . Or it was one of the old school plug in and play pong machines at a freinds house. The first console I ever owned myself was this bad boy.
...or the original oregon trail for the apple computer with the all green monitor.
Ah yes, I think it was the Apple II/e.
Anyone remember Carmen SanDiego on that bad boy? Bitch was always in New Delhi for me.
I have a working IIe and still have that game. Also, I believe it was Istanbul for me. Always Istanbul, lol.
I think it's time to fire up the old IIe for a little reminiscing.

There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein "Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
Bubble Bobble. I love that game! Too bad the newer incarnations don't have the same appeal.... Took me 15 years to finally figure out that the collectable letters spelled Extend. I played that game for 20 years and never once spelled out the complete word. Lol.

At home, something on Atari, I really have no clue which game I got first, it has been way too long.
Arcade, I think it was the Star Wars game that was nothing but meshes.

First console game was either Battletank or Frogger for the Atari. First arcade game was Pole Position.
The first one I can remember playing was an arcade game call Out Run. It's was a racing game, blew lots of quarters on it at the corner market that had a couple of arcade games.

On a arcade machine: "Space invaders" (still an old favorite).

Pong. Yes, I am that old.
One does not "play" Pong. It plays you.
