Let me think...it was so long ago...when i was like 8 or 9 years old i went to my friends place and his dad had a PC with some games on it, i spent the entire day playing (don't even remember what game it was) when my grandmother came to pick me up i didn't want to leave. The next morning i asked to buy me a PC, after we got one i went to a nearby store and bought a random bundle of games, it had 3 games in it: Diablo which at that time scared me (i still remember running away from the Butcher), Starcraft and Warcraft 2, needless to say it was love at first sight.

Sonic 2 is the earliest game I have memories playing. I never got past Wing Fortress Zone as a kid, but I still played it for hours on end.

Later on I started playing a larger variety of different games, including some RTSes on my brother's computer like Red Alert 2 and Stronghold, and some other games on the Gamecube, like Pokemon Colosseum, Starfox Assault, and Super Mario Sunshine.

Hmm, the first game I played was Ocarina of time for the N64. And then my dad made sure, I got to play all the awesome N64 games. Like Mario Party 1 and 2 with family, Banjo Kazooie, and Pokémon Stadium. So it is more the N64 that got me into gaming and OOT as first game ^^

The first games I actually remember playing, aside from maybe a few of those kids' games, are Settlers 3, and Populous: The Beginning, when I was like 5 or 6. Later on, we got a DS, and PMD: Blue Rescue Team was the game that got me into Pokemon.

Hmm, I don't remember exactly.

I'm pretty sure I remember me playing Golden Axe.

I might have had other experience with games before that one, but it's the first game I remember. And I've loved games since the first game I played, so I'm pretty sure that's what got me into gaming.

I remember watching my Dad play Pokemon Gold when I was 5 or 6, and it fascinated me, and I think the first game I ever properly played was Pokemon Crystal, which I got along with a gba for christmas or a birthday. Loved videogames ever since.

The first video game that I can remember playing is Star Wars Rogue Squadron. Released in the golden year of 1998 when I was a full 5 years old. Starting early.

First video game I played was Pong. Oldie but a goodie.... says the hundred year old. Game one I can't remember whether it was Sonic the hedgehog or Super Mario world on SNES. Then I played FF7 some time later and had no idea how RPGs worked let alone JRPG.

I used to play my brother's Pokemon Pinball, that was amazing. I think what really got my interest was either Melee or Animal Crossing Population: Growing when my parents got my brother and I a Gamecube.

I started with Sonic 3 or Golden Axe

Idk the name of my first console (I was four and I didn't cared for what console was, for me it was all videogame), nor my parents remember.

But when I was 6-8 I had a Playstation 2 but it broke ;-;

Then my dad gave me a NDS with Platinum, that's how I started playing Pokémon.

I think the actual answer for me is Oblivion. Yes, the elder scrolls one. I used to watch my aunt play it when I visiited her. Probably explains my affinity for enjoying youtube videos as well.
