First game I finished was Spyro the Dragon.

Last game I finished was Shadow of the Colossus on hard mode.

I don't even remember the first console I had (my dad told me it was a Sega Genesis).

Probably since I was 4, so 18 years.
I remember One must fall, Blake Stone, Jill of the Jungle, Duke Nukem 2, and Galaga on a tabletop machine down by the post office.

First game I remember finishing... Probably Blake Stone or Duke Nukem but I don't remember them all that well.
Very likely Snes titles are the first I properly remember beating but I don't have a timeline of when I did so.

Last game I finished was Dragon Age 2 I guess, I haven't been shooting for completable games recently. WoW, Oblivion, and LoL have taken up most of my time, hopefully Alice Madness Returns is a proud new answer for this within a couple weeks.
Edit: RIGHT, sorry, Portal 2. (Not forgotten for lack of love of it, just misplaced my timeline)

Also, jealous of everyone older than me that clearly remembers a lot of those old ones.

It's got to be close to 40 years now. The first gaming machine I remember buying was some sort of Pong game in the early 70's. (bought in the local hardware store, if you can believe that). I graduated to a Commodore Vic-20, where you had to type in the code by hand from magazines and store the program on to cassette tapes. You could work on a game for days before you actually got to play. From there I have owned or played all the gaming systems ( including several PC systems I built specifically for gaming). My last completed game was Portal 2 on the 360. It has been (and I hpoe continues to be) a wonderful ride!!

I have been playing video games for about 23 years. My first console was the Sega Master System, though I had played on the NES, Atari 2600 and Intellivision/Colecovision at friends houses before that.

The first game I actually "finished" was Casino Games on the Sega - you win by earning $1,000,000 and therefore breaking the bank. Since I don't really feel like that counts, I'll go ahead and mention that I finished Alex Kidd in Miracle World, the game that was built into the Sega Master System.

The last game I finished was... uh... Portal 2? Since then I've restarted Fallout New Vegas because my savegame was all jacked up, and just this week I started playing Crysis 2 though I've been playing more multiplyer... more than I expected I would really.

I've been playing since I was eight or so. About twelve years I guess.

First game I ever beat, I think it was Pokémon Red.

Most recent game I beat was Golden Sun, the first one.

1. I've been gaming for 27 years, since I was 4 - I'll let you work out my age :p

2. The first game I ever finished was either Midnight Resistance for the Spectrum 128k or Aliens in the arcades (produced by Konami). Back when I started playing, it was uncommon for games to actually have endings. The motivation to play was score and the sheer enjoyment of it all.

3. The last game I finished was Splinter Cell: Conviction (about to finish Dragon Age 2).

Far too long it seems. I've been gaming since the first games were available, along with the first computers that were available to the public. The earliest game I can remember is either Pong or the origional Apple version of Asteroids.

I've been gaming since I was three. My earliest memories are of playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES. So I've been playing games for sixteen, going on seventeen, years. I don't really remember what the first game I finished was, they all sort of run together...The last one I beat was Ocarina of Time: Master Quest, without any walkthroughs or hints or the like. Before that was Portal 2.

If you actually read all the pages of this thread please sound off.

I mean I guess it's kinda interesting if I knew the community better, but this question merely boils down to a number between 1 and 50 and although 40+ might be pretty interesting I'm too lazy to read through it all to think: Hey that bastards been gaming for twice as long as I've been alive.
