I honestly don't remember how old I was. I just remember the gray NES calling out to my child mind. It's rectangle controller nestled deeply into my (possibly) Cheeto covered hands and that fat little plumber jumping for his life. Smashed goomba after smashed goomba scattered across the battlefield as I lept from pipe to pipe to reach my princess. It was an intimate affair that lived in effigy until the one who was mega (mega man) would take over my gaming life. As this dream slowly faded RBI baseball would follow suit making me pretend to be sick to stay home. These were great years full of many great titles that go unmentioned and forgotten. It lasted until I began to fool around with the SNES and then the divorce would be made and my dear NES would be laid to rest. A tragedy that rung in my heart for as long as it took me to pry Super Mario All Stars from the box. The SNES practically hooked itself up and I was in fact ready to rock. The story continues from there as I mingled with the PC and ultimately switched to the Playstation. The PS1 was a bitter sweet relationship that almost ran me dry with few bittersweet memories, but the PS2 would herald in a new love for my dear gaming.
Of course Mario Brothers 1 although I was too young to remember so I'm just gonna say Super Mario Brothers 3
It was so long ago I can't remember... hell, likely was asteroids or something kin to it, on my Grandfathers Atari. Not really that much of a older gamer in body but I started young... so young I can be literal when I say I teethed on a joystick.
I played some games before it, but Super Mario Bros. is the game that made me a gamer. I was in love with that game from the first time I jumped on that first goomba's head.
5 Years old.
An Old Bubble Bobble Arcade Machine in a Pizza Place down the street.
They eventually let me play it for free, I came by so much.
I still own Bubble Bobble for my DS when I need a fix.

Galaga, 3 years old, Nirche's pizza parlor with my dad. The following Christmas, I got an NES and the SMB/Duck Hunt combo.
according to my parents, they fucked around by letting me play TLOZ:OOT long before i could see any relation between the buttons i pressed what was happening onscreen.

Earliest game I remember playing was either Crash Bandicoot or Medievil.
Ah, Medievil... Such an awesome game. I liked the sequel more, though. :/
