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.

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.

Sonic 2 on my Genesis. My dad always played that in front of us, and eventually we learned the techniques that he taught me any my brothers.

Not exactly earliest but I remember when I got the N64 and played Mario Kart for the first time. The graphics completely blew my mind. I haven't felt that way since about any other gaming systems. :(

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

For me it was huge. Going from the faux 3D world to an actual 3D world was a big change.

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.

When I was around 12 years old I got CoD4. It was my first ever shooting game and I didn't have XBL so I used to just play the campaign over and over again.
