What was your first game? What was your favorite game to date?

First game: Pong for Grundig Television Set.
First Colecovision: Donkey Kong
First on C64: Yie Ar Kung Fu.
First on Atari 2600: PacMan

My favourites of all time: Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong Jr., Bomb Jack, Mario 64.

I think it was Prince of Persia in 1990 on Atari
First PC game was Time Commando

My first games were Prince of Persia, CD-Man (a colorful Pacman clone), Test Drive II and Tetcolor (Tetris-like game). I played them at my parent's workplace as a pre-schooler and every one of them was too hard for me at the time.

As for Duke Nukem series: I played the first episode of the first game a little later, and it was just the thing I wanted - colorful console-styled arcade platformer with shooting lazers, life counter, robots and explosions, bonuses to collect and all the other stuff. Too bad I played it just once and couldn't find it long afterwards.
When I first played Duke Nukem 3D I had no idea it is somehow connected to that arcade platformer. I was fascinated with interactivity, but it was a little too scary and hard to play on a keyboard. Many years later (when I configurated it to use mouse properly) it became one of my favourite FPS. I finally finished the game when I got the Megaton Edition.
Duke Nukem Forever got me hyped with a demo version, but then the game was released and got trashed by critics, so I finally played it several years later when the storm settled (and GOTY edition key was sold cheap). It was... OK, nothing exceptionally good or bad, often more tedious than fun, the stages without shooting were often more fun that dad guns. I thought it would work better as Postal 2 - style game with lots of civilians and all sort of pranks to do. I actually enjoyed the DLC about Dr. Proton (the arch-nemesis from the first game), again mostly for the non-shooting part.

Pokemon Yellow on GB Color and in a console probably Tekken 3 (PS 1)

My first game ever was probably Pac-Man.
As for my favourite game, Silent Hill 2.

First was Space Panic (Colecovision). Favorite game to date is and always will be Zanac (NES).

First Game - River Raid
Favorite Game to Date - I've been gaming for more than 30 years so I've had a lot of memorable games throughout the years. The most recent I guess is the Witcher 3.

First game I owned: Mario Bros (it came with the NES)

first nes game - probably mario & duck hunt bundle
first pc game - the blues brothers
favorite nes game - solstice
favorite pc game could be torin's passage (OMG the hours I've played xD), doom 2, southpark,... so many for other reasons :-)

First game: Super Mario World on the SNES.
Favourite game: Chromehounds on the Xbox 360.

My first game is Prince of Persia: sands of time

My first with my first memories goes back to when i was about 2-3 years old playing Bugs Bunny’s Birthday Blowout on the NES. My favourite game of all time is probably Secret of Mana shortly followed by Final Fantasy 7.

For a long time i was a fan of Duke as a character, because i never played any of his games. Only playing some cheap knock off games. DN: Forever was actually the first Duke Nukem Game i ever played and actually wasn't disappointed and enjoyed the silliness of it quite a lot. I recently replayed it to get all the achievements and while i still enjoy it, i also felt it too be little bit too tedious at times and well, its unpolished as hell.

First game I owned was either Captain Planet or Lemmings on the Amiga. I may have had something else but they were the first games I remember.

Favourite Game(s): Football Manager, Final Fantasy 10, Baldurs Gate, Batman Arkham Asylum/City.

First game I can distinctly remember playing was some sort of DOS Sesame Street game. My favorite to date? That's a tough call.... Maybe Animal Crossing New Leaf. If something else better comes to mind I'll come update my post here.

Hmm, not sure which one was the first, but it was one of those ripoff thingies with 9999999 games in 1 ;p Maybe Circus Charlie

Favorites change all the time, but some of them would be Witcher 3, Darkest Dungeon & Victor Vran.

Not sure about the first game at all, I played some little car games with my cousin when I was younger.

First game I really played a lot was Gothic II NotR. Still awesome.

I think it was Home Pong or a clone.

Favourite? I don't know. Never did like picking favourites. Some games I enjoyed a lot were Sentinel on the C64, Planescape: Torment and Peggle, but there were many other games I enjoyed. Some others I remember fondly are HoMM 3, the Monkey Island series and Nine Princes in Amber for the C64. Oh, and UT2003 as the only multiplayer shooter I ever really got into, and City of Heroes was my main MMO.

Tetris for sure. As for computer games it was Warcraft and Dungeon Keeper. My most favourite game would be Warcraft 3. :)

super mario world - super nintendo
pokemon silver - gameboy color
buggs bunny lost in time - psx
stronghold crusader - pc
tekken 5 - ps2
fallout 3 - ps3

favourite games of all time are final fantasy 8 and monster hunter (ps2)

• My first game was some sort of arcade cabinet racer back in the 80s. Have no idea which one.
• My first "played inside of home" game was Pole Position (Formula 1) for Atari 2600.
• My first handheld game was one of those small 1 game only Nintendo thingies from the 80s. It had someone yelling "help!" and you'd throw life belts at them. Afterwards, those "Tetris 9in1" handhelds with tetris, worm, galaga and others made of bricks...
• My first NES game was Rescue Rangers
• My First Genesis game was Mortal Kombat 2
• My first PSX game were Tekken 2 and The Need for Speed (very first)
• My first PC game was (not counting demo for Thief 1 but a full game) Need for Speed 2 SE
• My first PS2 game was Summoner 2

Favorite? Arcanum.

My first game... can't remember. But it was in the mid 80s, Spectrum 48k. I had a few favourites back then: arkanoid, chuckie egg, manic miner, barbarian, match day and kokotoni wilf (maybe my favourite of all).

Then, came the Commodore Amiga (early 90s I think). Some of my favourite were Kick Off, Rainbow Island and Car Vup.

Jump to PC. Lost count to the games I already played. But if asked to choose a favourite, I'd say Bioshock. Why? One word: Rapture.

I am not really sure, but I think my first encounter with a videogame was some Atari 2600 game but I couldn't tell you which one. Or it may be Space Invaders in Arcade Cabinet in shopping mall but that I didn't play, just saw it, yet it was mesmerizing. And first PC game I played was Supaplex if I recall correctly. I played it back in early 90's in office of major porn publishing company where my father worked. I think I might've been 4 or 5 yo.

About Duke Nukem... I loved both first instalments and 3D as well of course. And I was very pleased with DNF because I wasn't expecting anything else that game which has been in development hell for 15 years and was built on fucking Quake 2 engine. Seriously, what were people expecting? I enjoyed it very much.

I think my first game was Super Mario Bros on the NES. It was a long time ago, so I'm not 100% certain on this, but it's quite likely that it was this one.

Oh and any Duke Nukem fans? I'd love to hear how your first experiences with the original game went, and how bad you felt DN: forever to be.

My first experience with the first Duke Nukem (or Nukum as it was originally called) was not until about 2005. I had already played Duke 3D and Manhattan Project at this point. The first Duke felt a bit. And I have to admit, I did not really like the first Duke Nukem game. It was a typical PC platformer for its era, and I found Commander Keen to be a lot more fun.

Best game to date?
Well, that's not an easy question to anwer. There are plenty of great games out there, and which one I find to be the best depends a lot on my mood:
Planescape: Torment, Europa Universalis IV, Pillars of Eternity, Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim, Super Metroid, Thief: The Dark Project, System Shock 2, Ultima 7. Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. It's hard to pick one :(
