I played and beat Super Mario Land 2 when I was five. The first game I remember playing was Tetris, and I also remember playing Wolfenstein 3D (I found it on a CD somewhere) and a vertical-scrolling air shooter called Raptor: Call of the Shadows. I'm 21 now so that's sixteen years. The last game I finished was Pokemon Black.
how many Years have you been gaming?

Roughly 25 years. Our first console was an Atari (can't remember the version) and was eventually followed by Commodore 64 which was my first serious period into gaming. I believe I was about 5 when I started playing, but my memory isn't great.
From there I've mostly followed Nintendo with the NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, and PS3, DS, and a gaming PC rig.
While I've always been into gaming...it's not always been a primary hobby. There have been numerous times when I've gone 6+ months without playing a game. Though I've had no such lull in the last 5 years or so.
First Game I remember beating: Ghostbusters for Commodore
Last Game I've won: Recettear (soon to be a replaying of inFamous)

I've been gaming for 19 years(24yo at the moment).At the age of 5 I went with my mother to the seaside and my first game was Super Street Fighter on the arcade coin games if I remember correctly.
The first game I finished was a few years later after my dad sent me an black and white old school Gameboy with Super Mario on it.
The last game I've finished was a few hours ago and was Clive Barker's Jericho.According it's an old game,my most recent(as in released this month) game was Witcher 2:Assassin's of Kings.

I don't remember my first game. My dad got me into gaming as soon as I was old enough to work a keyboard. I have early rememberances of point and click adventure games. There was a little car in a zoo and a Reader Rabbit game.
First game I finished... I think it was the first Command and Conquer.
Last game I finished: Solomon's Keep, a few hours ago.

I don't remember exactly when, but I remember my first console was the playstation 1 and I got the playstation 2 not too long after, so probably either 1999 or 2000 making me a gamer for 11 or 12 years.
But it took me a long time to get the hang of all the buttons
I was only four or five when I got the old PS1 so for the first few years I was horrible.
So the first game I completely finished I think was Ratchet and Clank in 2002. I got quite far in Crash Bandicoot, Pokemon Yellow and Super Mario Bros 3 but never beat them.
Systems I own/owned are PS1,PS2,PS3 Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS,Xbox 360 and most importantly, PC.
Last game I complete was portal 2. Great game.

If you mean video games video games, since the Nintendo 64 came out. The first game I remember finishing would be Super Mario 64.
If you mean any form of electronic entertainment, it would be when my dad let me keep his computer (which had Lemmings and Prince of Persia) for a while at home. This was... when, 1992? I think I was about six at the time, so that's about it. The first game I remember finishing would then be... well, still Super Mario 64.

I started playing when I was 3-4, when my older brother got the SNES, i remeber playing super mario, that epic duck hunting game that has been knocked-off to death, and Mike Tyson's punchout (I only watched my brother play it)
My legit gamer days started on the N64, then I bought the Playstation, my dad bought me the PS2, broke it after a year, got another one, broke it after 6 months, bought the slim-line version, broke after 2 years, bought the Wii, got tired of it and it is literally just sitting there as a decoration. Right now I'm 17 with a 360, planning on buying the PS3
o, and in 10th grade I was addicted to GTA san andreas (pc version) because it had the multiplayer.

15-16 years
First game I can remember (nearly) beating was earth worm jim 2. I could never beat Queen Slugforabutt. And oh god the For Pete's Sake level was just terrible.
Last game I beat was Mirror's Edge if you count replays, if you don't Portal 2 then.
Mostly been playing online games so not that many you can "beat", I'm about half way through a game called Chaser... [sub]Chico[/sub]

Okay, let's see...
a)I'm 21, I started when I was 3, so 18 years
b)First game I finished was Zelda: A Link to the Past
c)Does XBLA count? If so, then Penny Arcade Ep. 1. If not, then it wasprobably a replay of Tales of the Abyss.

I've been gaming for about eight years, now. Up until I was about ten, my parents never really let me play videogames. They let me play a few point and click adventure games, like Put Put, but I didn't count them (don't get me wrong, though, I loved those games). Of course, keeping me away from videogames made me want to play them more. So I did my best to learn about videogames, played at friend's houses, anything to get me closer to gaming. Psychology is weird like that, ain't it.
The first game I beat? Can't remember. I know all of you have been gaming for so much longer than I have, but it's been too long for me to remember.
The last game I beat? Portal 2. Very satisfying, as well. I loved that game!

First game I remember playing was Galaga in the arcades. Think I was about four or five. I remember being stood on a stool so I could see the screen. So about 30 years now.
A lot of the games I first played were just for high score bragging rights. Can't really remember the first game I finished. The last game I finished was Portal 2.

I have a terrible memory, but the first game that I finished was Rogue Squadron 3D, shortly after that my dad obtained a copy of Pokemon Silver before the US release date (holy shit- my dad's a pirate!)
So I started gaming around '99, that means its been around 12 years.
Umm the last game I completed would be another run through Mass Effect 2(my fifth total)

1) I think I was 6 when the original NES came out so 25 years
2) I think the first one I finished was Dragon warrior(what would be considered Dragon Quest today)
3) I just finished a hard mode playthrough of Shadow of the Colossus this afternoon but if you mean the newest game I recently finished then its Mortal Kombat which I beat the other day
