My first game was Super Mario bros. 3, that got me hooked from the start.

Half-Life, believe it or not. Played it a lot on my dad's computer when I was 6 or 7. My parents were the cool ones that never cared about the ratings on video game covers.

My father pretended to care just so my mom would stop nagging on him. When I played Duke Nukem 1 she almost flipped out at the violence, however he defended it by saying I was only killing robots, which was mostly true.

My Dad wouldn't let me play games with violence towards humans or guns in it until I was about 13. He still doesn't like me playing them... Even though he loves playing Carmageddon >_>

i used to vs. my mother in Kirby's Avalanche. she was damn good until i learned combos, i could get the triple red boulders if she wasn't fast enough to get off her combos, in the end it was roughly 50/50 between us.
my sister and I would have marathons of Super Mario Bros, I grew up with the SNES. i still want to play Super Metroid from time to time, it was my favorite game. i never did collect all of the suit enhancements...they knew how to hide them pretty well.

My parents absolutely hate games. They think its a waste of time. However my brothers love games so I guess that evens out the gamer/non-gamerness in the family.

My father was also like that a period. "No games, they only waste hard drive space." I played games directly from CD's for a while.

I'm obsessive compulsive when it comes to playing Metroid...

I started out with an NES, that had Genghis Khan, Monopoly, Mario 1 and duck hunt, Time lord, Chip and Dale,Castlevania ,and I think a fighting game, I had that for years, the next step up was a Gamecube that came with mario cart double dash, and I later got Resident evil 1 remake for it, Kept that for like ever. Borrowed a N64 from a friend with conker on it, gave it back, got some Gameboys throughout all of these, with Pokemon games, I then got a Gameboy Color with Pokemon Yellow Pikachu edition. And then proceeded to play Final Fantasy 7 on PS1......thats about it...I think

 The music, the puzzles, the monsters... just AWESOME. Then  Used to play this one with my 3 cousins every weekend for like a year... It is still my favourite racing game next to Mario Kart : Double Dash (Gamecube).  I was like 5 or 6 when I got my first Game Boy Color... and I lost it with the Crystal cartridge on... I still regret it ):

Final Fantasy 7 on my uncle's Playstation (would be years before we would get our own console).

Some mailboy game for NES... You would ride a bike up a street and throw newspapers. Kinda pointless, but fun. My mom is obsessed with super mario, she played it more than I did...

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
As a consequence of this, I'm more tolerant to RPG elements in games that don't really need it, yet ironically hate the actual RPG genre with noticeable fervor.
