First game ever played, period = Pac-Man on the 2600.

First game I ever owned and played religiously = The Legend of Zelda on the NES.

Some ASCII game with smiley faces on a Osborne.. early 80s.
I was very good at the game I thought, since I got a score like 2.54E10 (I was excited because suddenly my score had a letter in it!)

Megaman 2 pwns megaman X

I dunno, they both rock equally hard from my POV.
Megaman 2/3/5, X/X2/X3 all rock hardcore. They all own the new megaman .exe RPG crap they have now.

My first console was an SNES, but I played an NES first. My favorite game was mario kart.

Same here. I played SMB on the neighbor's NES and asked for an SNES that x-mas.

Pong on a Magnavox Oddessy game system was the first console game I played.

Pong was also the first arcade game I played at a Smokey's Pizza in Vancouver, Washington around 1978. I was all of 10 years old at the time.

The first computer game I ever played was Ultima III on am Apple IIe.

The oldest game I still play is Harpoon II which I used to play on a 486DX-33 with 8MB of RAM.
