so.... mine was gta vice city.

Super Mario Land on the Gameboy

hmm does that tell your age I'm too old to remember the first game I played.

First game that I played by myself without any help (so excluding mario) was ratchet and clank

Solitaire for Windows.

I actually taught myself how to use a computer and the rules to play that game. I was quite the child prodigy at gaming!

Top Gun on an old Scandis. Two colors!

tetris. on that tetris handheld... I think

So you were at least 12 when you played your first game?

And it was GTA?

I can't tell if you had sheltered or awesome parents!?!

Anyhow mine was Sonic Spin Ball when I was 4 years old.

We got a free Genesis for being the 1,000th customer at a Video Joe.

Hm, probably some child-friendly game on my dad's PC. The first two games I actually remember playing are Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 on a friend's N64, though. I used to just run around in Ocarina of Time and kill Skeletons on Hyrule field. XD

I think I was about 4 years old at that point.

if i recall correctly it was super mario world on the SNES.
