^That. See also; Pokemon, Power Rangers.
As for games specifically, I played a lot of SNES for a kid born in '94. Turtles 4, Final Fantasy 4, Mario World, Donkey Kong Country and Castlevania are all candidates for the first game I ever played. Don't really remember which though. First I owned was Pokemon Silver.

When I was a kid? Ninja Gaiden for the NES. Whole trilogy. Street Fighter 2, though I was nearly grown when that came out.
Now that I'm grown? Mario games.Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario RPG, the entire Paper Mario series, and so forth. I wish the Wii Virtual Console actually did updated remake versions of the most classic games, like the SNES did with All-Stars.

I got a NES for Christmas 1988. It was really the sum of all fears for my mom and teachers...my grades summarily went into the tank.
Although I don't think that was the vidya games. I'm pretty sure that was sixth-grade me discovering drugs.
That said, I really liked the 8- and 16-bit Square RPGs.

I played anything i could get my hands on. Considering that till 1994 (when CDProjekt started up) buying a boxed, original, legal game in Poland was near impossible, that usually included a trip to a computer market held on weekends where you just bought box of floppy's and nice guys who came with their PCs copied the games.
Yes it was piracy, but there was no legal retail chain back then nor internet access to order games from other countries.

80s: Text adventures & educational games.
Early 90s: Cartoony sidescrollers.
Late 90s: Shooters & sports.
00s: Fantasy RPGs & MMOs, combat city builders, hidden object games, action-adventure games, simulations, click-&-point adventures, 2D TBSRPGs, & flashdolls.
So i went Nerdy - Childish - Manly - Geeky/Housewife.

When I was a kid, I was playing pretty much anything I could get my hands on. We had a Mega Drive, but nothing good for it - just Sonic and Aladdin. I played whatever I could for the N64, but really got into Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. I loved the C&C games for the PC.
Then I discovered the Discworld MUD and it all fell apart. I've been playing that over anything else ever since. Though nowadays I play the Xbox fairly regularly, most third-person-shooters or RPGs. Hell, anything that looks good and isn't just another mindless FPS.

I didn't really play thay many games as a kid. I was too poor.
I had a hand-me-down NES from my big brother along with Super Mario 1, 3 and Kirby's Adventure.

I was much better at hard games as a kid. I didn't beat Ghosts N Goblins, but I came close, and certainly did much better than I would now, where I can't even beat the first level.
My overall "taste" didn't change that much. I back then liked games that made me feel that i stepped into an entirely different world (which is why "realism" to me most of the time is a bad thing). I also back then already liked games that allowed me to move around and try out things - basically "living" in that world instead of following some railroad script.
What changed for me more has to do with genres. Back then, i liked flight simulators, racing games and sports games - now i don't play them anymore at all. Also, back then there of course were some games that were too complex to understand for me, but which i like now. Some time in the middle between "back then" and "now", i also played a lot of FPSes, but now have almost no interest in them anymore at all.

In the 90's: Games like Tony Hawk's (add number) and Shadowman, stuff like that.
Now: Games like Fable, The Bard's Tale, Divine divinity, Final Fantasy.
