Sonic the Hedgehog - Sega Genesis and Mega Drive
First Game That I Ever Played

I did play games on my old Mac around 1995, but this was the first game that I've played on a console. I remember playing Sonic at a toy store in the mall in Baltimore, MD when I was like at least four years old. I already knew about Sonic thanks to Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog on TV.

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Echoes from the Past... - Sega Genesis and Mega Drive
First game that I actually hated.

I remember the first level being so hard that I couldn't finish it. It made me want to throw my console across the living room. This was 15 years ago and I still have nightmares of this game :D.

Godzilla - Game Boy
First game that I purchased with my own money.

Being a huge Godzilla fan growing up, I had to buy this game as a kid. I found it about it in 1998 in a issue of Nintendo Power. Too bad that the game sucked.

Final Fantasy VII - PlayStation
First game I played endlessly

I always love Final Fantasy VII and I don't care what other people say. The game blew my mind as a kid and it got me hook on RPG's. I do agree that the fandom can be pretty bad though.
