We had a restaurant in my town that had a floor model pacman game. It was called Gentleman Jim's, I remember going there for black olive and cheese pizza and playing pacman.

I have an original pong game that my dad gave me. It sucks because someone left batteries in it and stored it in the basement for years, so it's corroded and doesn't work. I've held on to it anyways. Maybe someday I'd get motivated enough to try and fix it.

Combat on the Atari 2600. If I didn't have someone else to play against, I would sometimes set the other controller on its side and put a pillow on it to push it down, to make the other airplane fly in circles so I could "dogfight" it.

I was going to say the exact same game. I used to beat the crap out of my sister at tanks.

Remember the 'level' with the bouncy bullets? Sometimes my bro and I would accidentally shoot ourselves more than each other.

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.

It was watching my dad play Descent, Myst, and Doom. Me personally, it was playing Lemmimgs on Windows 95. There was also this weird sim-like game called Bob. Anybody remember that?

Ah man, I remember lemmings. That was a great game, although I was never any good at it. Always ended up frustrated and going to do something else.

When you're 5 or 6, it's a game.

When I was a kid I used to love playing the Pokemon games on GBC, Sonic on the Dreamcast, and Ms. Pacman on the arcade machine at my uncle's bar. Pacman was fucking awesome.

Also, assuming if by "gaming," you're including all gaming, and not just video games, I loved yu-gi-oh and pinball. It's a shame that games of the non-video variety don't get as much attention now.

I dont know what it was about this game , but I chose to play it over GTA Vice City on several occasions. So much fun.

The single player missions got very redundant towards the end, unfortunately.

First memory of gaming was on a Tandy. I'm pretty sure it was the very first flight simulator with my dad, although 25+ years have fogged my memory a little bit.

First memory of "modern" gaming was CoD 4. The first multiplayer gaming experience is something I'll likely never forget.

Ohh man. We also had a Tandy growing up. So much time watching my dad play some Dungeons and Dragons type game. My brother recently dug it out of the garage. Still works, and is awesome.

Doom. That game scared the shit out of me.

Doom is the first game I can recall making me sort of jump in my seat. It was amazing for the time. Good design and good sound actually managed to create an immersive experience.

Wait, do you mean Doom 3 or the Doom I grew up with?
