My earliest memory comes from high school; there was an Apple Macintosh in the Tech & Shop classroom, and one of the programs on it was a game called Spectre.
It was a lot like the old BattleZone arcade game (which I know about thanks mainly to the Best of Microsoft Arcade compilations).

I have extremely vague memories of playing Super Mario Bros. on NES when I was about 4 or 5. Otherwise playing Super Mario World is my first true gaming memory.

I feel like I missed out on the N64. People always have great memories of it, and I barely ever played one.

Playing Super Mario Bros on my cousins Nintendo. I asked him how to jump and he said "push the button". I game overed twice on the first goomba before I figured it out.

I love this question. I was too young to remember coherently, but it's either secret of monkey island or day of the tentacle. My elders all ways had a Lucas arts adventure game on when ever I was at their house. I remember clearly the jokes wild art style and clever writing even from that age I was hooked.
Those early memories have effected my choice in games ever since. It's the story for me I could care less about multiplayer or achievements of the story isn't griping and the characters believable I just don't find the game that engaging. As a side note I remember when I knew online multiplayer was going to be awesome. I was playing crackdown with a friend and as I stole a truck he ran in to a cross junction screaming justice while carrying a lamp post them out of no where we gets crushed by a lorry and we break our hearts laughing.
I remember my first clan, the first time a online friend died and how I had no idea how to deal with that, meeting my idols and loosing faith in games and the culture. It's been such an awesome hobby and I can't wait to grow old with games and see what's next.
