This is the first game I can remember playing on an arcade machine. It was in a restaurant near our house in Montana when I was about five years old. I loved spinning the trackball, but I died very quickly. I now have the Centipede & Millipede 360 Arcade game at home, but it isn't the same without the trackball.
This was the first and only game I can remember playing on an Atari. It was at a friend's house and I remember it being black and white. I'm not sure how old I was.
I can't remember the exact occasion, but I'm pretty sure this was the first game I played on the Nintendo Entertainment System. I consider it to be the best platformer I've played on any system to this day.
This game came on the IBM PC junior my parents bought around 1988 (I was eight years old). I might have played a PC game before this on a computer my dad borrowed or through school, but this is the first PC game I can remember playing clearly. It got me hooked on adventure games and gaming in general.
This is the first game I can remember playing on the Sega Genesis. It was at a friend's house in Iowa when I was about eight. I believe he also had Altered Beast.
This is the first game I played on the Game Boy. It was at a friend's birthday party when I was about nine. The Game Boy is also the first game system I ever purchased.
This was the first game I played on a Super Nintendo. I played it at a friend's house in Iowa when I was about thirteen. I remember liking Dhalism because he could hit from far away.
This is probably the first game I played on the Nintendo 64, although we played Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire the same night and I'm not sure which one was first. I was about sixteen and I remember thinking the 3D graphics were incredible.
This is the first game I remember playing on a Playstation. It was at a band camp in Montana when I was about seventeen. The guy who owned the system was very good and would pull off ridiculously long combos that seemed to break every bone in his opponent's body.
I first played the Game Boy Advance at my cousin's house in the summer of 2001. I remember being impressed by the graphics, but the game itself isn't anything amazing.
