Play Station. The first game I remember (IDK if it's the first one because my memory sucks and I never bought the games) is Crash Bandicoot (me and my mom played it together. She was better and I think she got through most of the levels for me. I don't know why she refuses to play LBP now though =/).
I remember playing FFVII but scratching the 3rd disk, preventing me from continuing after the Huge Materia chase on the rocket ship *cry*
