My very first game was this:
I played Atari at a friends home before I got it, but Donkey Kong Jr was mine. I honestly wish I still had that game even if it's just for the nostalgia.
When I went to high school, I got my first PC so it was Dig Dug, Saboteur 2, Impossible Mission 2, Montezuma's Revenge etc.
By the time I got my second PC, I have moved on to adventure games. If Sierra or Lucas made it, I played it.
After a few years of [-]heavy drinking[/-] studying, I started working and earning a salary. My tastes have now evolved to include all genres except MMO and RTS (with a few exceptions).

Showing my age here, but my first 'console' was the Commodore VIC-20. You had to 'load' programs/games code from cassette tapes, then run it. Code was written in BBC-Basic IIRC, so you could change it as much as you wanted to.
That was followed by the Atari 2600. Game I remember the most is Pitfall!
Then.... PC (x86)... and... I've had a lot of different gaming devices.

The initial ones were crap. Some 100 games on a CD rubbish.
First proper one was Warcraft 2. Tended to play on God mode because I was like 10 years old and sucked.
Grade 10-12 were the glory days...back then internet sucked so we had nice 10+ man LANs at someones home. Braai, beer and jamming late into the night.
Since then it has just not been the same...open internet gaming is just not the same thing....and to some extent I pity the kids that grew up with servers where every 3rd comment is an insult about your mother.
Haven't been to a big LAN event though...so can't say there.

I started with a 486 SX 25Mhz back in Grade 1. Never had a console up until the XBOX 360, which I got in 2006.
Game-wise, I used to love Lucasarts and Sierra adventure games, as well as RTS. My tastes have evolved somewhat to turn-based strategy, RPG, third-person shooters and MMO.
