Virtual Stupidity at least was pretty fun on the PC. I slightly prefer the Genesis game over the SNES B&B, but neither are very good. The Game Gear game is even worse.
I wish this (and the Xbox Bruce Lee game) was better. I haven’t played much of the Jag version, but had the Genesis version. It’s interesting, and I did enjoy it. But, it’s definitely not top-tier…or mid-tier really.
WoW is not my first game but it was my first mmorpg! I think before that the closest thing to it would be Spyro, even though it was a single player game. I had so much fun running around and finding gems and just exploring around.
But first game EVER? That is super Mario. F-zero and R-type would be next. Then Metroid and then… I think it was mortal kombat.
Wizardry 8 and Might & Magic
1986
I was never cool enough for the game gear. I had my gameboy and this monstrosity:
one of my favorites was a port of Shadow of the Beast
I didn’t know what doom was either. I spent the whole evening absorbed in Doom 2 being shown it to me by a family friend in ‘95
Then I went on to play Hexxen, Catacombs, Quake, and Heretic
The good olde days
First it was doom, then wolfenstein, then my uncle at the time introduced me to duke nukem. SHE WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT LAST ONE.
My college roommate played castle Wolfenstein. About that time I was really obsessed with command and conquer Renegade.
We had a college blackboard, and I started a huge argument, saying that I thought Renegade was a superior game to Halo 1.
When EA took control of WestWood, it was just game over at that point. I hope that doesn’t ever happen to blizzard.
I actually think my first game was Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet on NES.
I had the power pad for this, and I was upstairs lol
buncha damn babies in this forum.
My first game was Pole Position, Atari.
my first MMORPG was Everquest.
get off my lawn.
UO or bust
I think I’m going to buy these. I borrowed Pool of Radiance from my uncle in the mid-90s, but that’s all I played of the SSI D&D gold box games; however, my first introduction to the setup was the Genesis port of Countdown to Doomsday, but it doesn’t look like the Buck Rogers-based ones are on Steam. I’ve wondered for quite a while how accurate that port was. I might have to acquire the game otherwise and see at some point.
My youngest uncle (just 3 years older than me, RIP), helped me get a Game Boy in '91 because he wanted someone to play some games with (he had a 286 PC but no consoles). I only knew one person with a Lynx, and I only got to try it out 2 or 3 times. Still, I’m a big fan of it even if I never owned one: I’m a fan of about everything R.J. Mical and Dave Needle worked on. As for the Game Gear, I was playing that mostly my friend’s and my cousin’s. I bought one of the Majesco-sold models very late (99? maybe 2000?) for $15 new with Sonic 2. But, I only ever bought 8 or so games. I bought a Nomad in 2000 though that was $60-70 used. It got a lot more use though…though mostly tethered to the AC adapter in college and alongside the GBA when it hit.
I remember being super excited about Mario brothers 2. I had bought a cereal box with a picture of it on the back.
I used to always try to win the sweepstakes the one where you would win like 500 games for the NES.
I switched to the Sega genesis because the local stores were sold out on Mario brothers 3 for months. I never did own a Super NES. I missed the good Metroids and Mario.
It wasn’t until 007 goldeneye came out on the N64 that I bought another Nintendo
A VIC-20 game called Vic Viper. Basically it was a Centipede clone.
When i think of the first mario i played it was this one:
I suppose for me it was this as a birthday present by my dad.
my great grandmother had these up in vermont, i always enjoyed playing them
Completely random fact: the first time I played Battletoads was when I stayed all night at my cousin’s house for her birthday and Pee-Wee Herman got arrested that day. 
That game was like Contra with frogs. Haven’t played that in a billion years
I had the great misfortune of my first battle toads experience on this PoS:
