1#Ahhh that was either Arctic Adventure or Arkanoid... Cant recall. (Played on those ancient computers in school that used the big "floppy" disks, I dont think they are called floppy)

#2 That's a toughie... Planescape: Torment... or the 1st Diablo. I think.

#3 Another tough question... Diablo3 or Planescape: Torment2? lol
 
1st Game Played (as far as I can remember): Super Mario Brothers w/ Duck Hunt + Gun (duh !) back in 1990 or so I believe, perhaps 1989, I'm not sure about that, but I got my SNES only the year that followed if I remember correctly. I might have played a video-game before that but if so I can't recall ... s'been too long ago.

2nd, Best: Such a difficult question. I cannot answer with just one title or one series, but I will answer by a simple logic, which means giving the series' name that certainly sucked more time in my life than anything before except a real job, which would be Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. I played that game from day one (in fact D2 Classic before the expansion) up to when I completely stopped only two months ago (and by completely stop I mean literally throwing the CD's in the waste basket along with the manuals and everything). That game was more like a drug than anything lately, but when I first played it I really had the feeling that I was playing the single absolute best game in my entire video-gaming life.

If I had to give honorable mentions there'd be plenty, as other "best" games I played, but I must at least name one, which has to be the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War games, especially with Dark Crusade, which in my humble opinion results in the very best RTS game available to date on any platforms, closely followed by the Command & Conquer series.

3rd, future: I am awaiting Crysis and Bioshock at the moment, with the latest being released this month.
 
First Game: Asteroids for Atari, I don't remember the first PC game I played but Sim City was the first I played a lot
Best Game: Counterstrike
Future: Crysis, UT3
 


First: Some atari games probably, or the Space Quest/King's Quest/Hero's Quest dos games. (Which were fantastic, at least to a 6 year old me)
Best: Final Fantasy 7 and Half Life (1)
Future: Bioshock, Assassin's Creed, Crysis, Frontlines Fuel of War
 
first game: one of the early MS flight sims, circa mid-90's.
best games: Flight Sim 2004, BF2
looking forward to: COD4
 
First - PC: Everquest
Console: Mario Bros/Duckhunt on NES
Best - PC: Morrowind and Starcraft
Console: LoZ: OoT and FFVII
Future - PC: Bioshock, Starcraft II, and Hellgate: London
Console: Heavenly Sword, Assasin's Creed, SSBB, MGS4, UT3, Shirokishi Monogatari, LittleBigPlanet
 
Well, if you don't count Pong, which was actually console, it would be something like this:

1st: Might and Magic Book 1: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum / Apple IIe (not positive about this, I might have played Stephen King's The Mist first)
Best: Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
Future: UT3

I'll add one more category, Most Played: UT2004
 
First - Super Mario World
Best - Diablo 2 (or at least I think I spent most of my youth on that compared to any other single game)
Future - No idea, not keeping up with video games these days.
