What was your first video game? Mine was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES, when I was about six years old.

Mine was the game "Combat" on the Atari 2600 (that was the game that came with system). I actually did play Pong not long after that.

Something on the Atari 2600, if I recall-- most likely Frogger. My memory of that time's so vague, though, I can't really be certain.

Don't remember which specific game, but definitely the 2600.

I think it was the Mario/Duck Hunt cartridge for me too

But Oregon Trail and Word Munchers on the school computer might've actually come first [/i]

The first time I ever saw a videogame was pacman way back in 1982.

The first videogame system I actually got to play was pacman and pitfall on an atari 2600 back in June 1988.

I didn't get my own video game system until x-mas 1990. It was an NES with mario bros/duck hunt.

The original mario bros. took me seven months to beat. When I got mario 3 a year later for christmas that took me seven months to beat also.

Both those games when I beat them for the first time, I was playing 2 player mode with my dad and I was luigi.

EDIT: Speaking of pacman, I know for fact that there is on the internet an MS-DOS CGA version of the game floating around that's from 1983.
