I am a little confused on what 1st game means.. if it is the first game I played, it would be as follows:

1st - zzzz on Commodore 64
Best - Half Life 2
Future - Half Life 2 episode 2 with Portal

 

[Noema]

Not counting console games:

1st: King's Quest V On my cousin's 486@16MHz, ca. 1990. It was actually a pretty high-end machine for the day, which belonged to his dad.


Best: X-Com: UFO Defense On my old 386SX@33MHz with 6MB of RAM, ca. 1993

Future: Bioshock and Spore (if it ever comes out, that is).

 

[KeithTalent]

1st: Pitfall - Atari 2600 (it was my buddies; I actually got a Coleco Gemini shortly after playing Pitfall for the first time in '82 I believe?)

If excluding console games, the first game for me would be The Bard's Tale.

Best: it's a tie Deus Ex on my Inspiron 6000D & Half-life 2 on my old main rig (AM2 X2 3800+ & X1900XT)

Looking forward to: Crysis & HL2:Ep2

[nemesismk2]

1st game - neither earth (sinclair spectrum 128k)
best game - freespace 2 (amd k6 2 400, Diamond S3 Savage4 Pro)
looking forward - starcraft 2

 

[jonks]

I'm a shooter fan.

1st game was probably Combat on Atari 2600.
Best so far...hmm. Half life? UT 2004? Far Cry?
Looking forward: BioShock and Crysis.

Early review on Bioshock has me going nutz...can it be this good??

"A dark and astonishing masterpiece...I spend my career, and my gaming life, waiting for a moment when a game just astonishes me, when I can't believe what I'm seeing, what I'm doing. BioShock has five." - PC Gamer UK

 

[Fulcrum]

1st - Pitfall or Frogger (I'm not sure which) for Atari 2600 on a console, and the original King's Quest for the PC (played on an IBM PS/2 with something like a 3 or 4 mhz 8086 cpu and a 10 or 20 mb HD, if I am remembering correctly-I was very young back then)
Best - I can't pick just one. HL2 for FPS action, the original Panzer General or the original Civilization and Civ. II for some strategy, and the original Command & Conquer or Warcraft II for some RTS action. Then of course there's Diablo II as well...ahhhhh, too many...I just can't decide!
Future - Nothing in the pipeline really has me overly excited at this point, maybe Starcraft 2 if they don't ruin the franchise with it.

 

[Skunkwourk]

PC

1st: Lemonade Stand / Apple II
best: Star Control 2 (hours and hours of melee after story campaign) / 486SX 33mhz I think
looking forward to: Hellgate: London and Halflife 2 Orange Box and yes Starcraft 2

Console

1st: SMB
best: Resident Evil 4 or Secret of Mana (one of the few games I completed with the gf)
looking forward to: nothing *edit* well ok maybe Super Mario Galaxy.

 

[CP5670]

First: Crystal Quest (Mac, 33mhz 68030, 4MB memory)
Best: Freespace 2 (P2 450mhz, 128MB, V3 3000)
Future: UT3, although I've a heard a few things about it that don't sound good. (probably G90 and some Core 2, as long as there are also other games at that point to justify it)

 

[CaptainJackSwallows]

1st: pong, the first REAL game was commander keen
best: quake 3
future: the next quake arena title

 

[Wheelock]

(Not counting the console or Apple II)

First: Flashback: Quest for Identity (IBM 25MHz 486SX, 4MB RAM, 14" CRT)... yeah I know it was also a console game.
Best: X-Com: UFO Defense & Deus Ex (I want *quality* remakes of both!) ... I never played System Shock 2, unfortunately.
Future: Starcraft 2 or Fallout 3, although hopefully it'll be some sleeper hit that'll surprise us all.

 

[shortylickens]

Assuming we mean computer games.......


-1st: The DOS Simpsons game, I forget the name. Anyway it didnt work. Oh wait, that doesnt count then does it?
I guess the first one we got working was gorilla.bas on a 386-40Mhz.
Knew nothing about BASIC but I learned fast.

The first REAL game was Elvira 2: The Jaws of Cerberus, a game so fun I wish they had something comparable now. Excellent mix of graphic adventure and dungeon crawling placed in the amazing setting of Elvira's panties.

When we got the 486-100 Elvira was much smoother and gorillas was unplayable.

-Best: Toss-up between Deus Ex and Baldurs Gate 2. Deus Ex was an excellent experience, but BG 2 lasted a long time. If you like that style of RPG then its loads of fun to play such a HUGE game. Both games were first played (poorly) on a Pentium 2 366 (I think) with a crummy ATI Rage 8MB.
Amazingly enough they both play fine on an A64 4800+ with an EVGA 7900GTX and Windows XP SP2.

-Future: Crysis. Thats it.
I have nothing else to look forward to. I dont think Lucas Arts has any interest in normal games any more, and from this point on I would not touch any RPG made by Obsidian or Bethesda.
Will try and use my current system to see how it works.
(A64 4800+ dual core. DFI Lan Party NF4 SLI DR Expert. 2GB OCZ Blackline PC4200. 7900GTX. Audigy 1. Windows XP Pro with SP2.)

If it looks fun and I really need to, I may be willing to get a complete system upgrade.

 

[Stas]

1 - Age of Empires 2 (Cel-466 / 64MB / 4MB Integrated Intel 810)
2 - Quake 3
3 - Quake Arena
