My earliest memory of gaming is from when I was about 3 I think. It's actually one of my first memories. In my attic we had a small TV set up with a NES and I'd play Super Mario Bros. 3, Duck Hunt, and one of the old Megaman games all day long.

Mine would have to be Runescape and Pokemon Emerald. I loved both of them because it felt like you were actually exploring a world instead of just going in a linear direction (though more so in Runescape than Pokemon).

I loved the way Jagex did quests, because they felt like actual stories (complete with foreshadowing and callbacks to other quests), instead of just saying "Bring me nine bear asses."

One of my first console games was the Legend of Zelda for NES. It was probably around 94 or 95, making me about 3 or 4 years old. My uncle had the console and I played while he babysat me one evening. My mother also had an NES so I also have memories of playing Galaga around that time. Around the age of 5 or 6 I recieved a Gameboy from another uncle which came with Super Mario Land and Pokemon Blue. I also had a SNES at that age and played Scooby-Doo quite a bit. My fondest memory of early gaming, though, was playing the display N64 at Sam's Club when OoT was first released. I recieved an N64 that Christmas which came with OoT.

Also, the uncle that bought me my first Gameboy would play King's Quest while I watched him play. I ended up playing quite a few Sierra Online games when I was young.

Playing Joust or that Adventure game with keys and dragons on Atari 2600 (or maybe watching my older brother and his friends play...).

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).
