James Bond: Nightfire for the Xbox. That was the first game I owned. Before that, I'd played all the N64 classics, like Mario Kart or Goldeneye, but I don't remember those. Stupid parents kept me away from videogames until I was 11...
What's the first memorable video game you played?

Spanish link?!
"Templi Del Tiemplo"
"Soy Gannondorf!"
"La Trifuerza"
Weird...
Why? There are those of us gamers whose native tongue isn't English
And for me... this one got the ball rolling
<3
"What a horrible night to have a curse..."
Good times... good times

That's assuming ALOT. I have no interest in replacing some idiot on an internet forum. And Streets of Rage was so repetitive it's not worth playing.Fiddles_stix wrote...
Good to know there's a back up if I suddenly go crazy and move to Siberia.
Also Commander Keen was another very memorable one and Super Mario Bros 2.
What was Streets of Rage like?

@datSilencer, I just meant that it's a little weird hearing your beloved childhood game being written in spanish, when you're used to the old ways.

There's no need for that, it was clearly all meant in jest.
Most platformers and side scrollers (heck, most games at the time) were repetitive. It wasn't so much that the game was great, but the antics you could get up to with other players whilst playing left me with fond memories.

ActRaiser for the SNES was my favorite game growing up and is still one of my top games. I love everything about this game.
The AMAZING soundtrack is easily my favorite and I will say this game has THE GREATEST STAGE 1 SONG EVER!!!!

Like a lot of people, Super Mario was a big one, but the first game I got stupidly addicted to was the Adventures of Bayou Billy. I can still hear the really funny 8-bit voice saying the title of the game.

Following this thread is so nostalgic. It also makes me feel ancient. I played through way too many of these games. 
Sometimes it is easy to forget just how long I have been playing games. Think I may break out my NES tomorrow for kicks.

The first:
- Joust (arcade): The sole game at the local fish and chips shop. Not the first game I played, but the first that made enough of an impression that I wanted it on a home system (which I later did - an Atari 800XL cartridge)
---
And there's so many others that were memorable, even if they weren't the first:
- The Last Ninja (C64): These were the days when games and transitions to the next level could have 10-25 minute loading times, so it was probably a credit to The Last Ninja that I barely noticed them. Still one of the best action-adventure games I've ever played and the music to the Dungeons scared me a lot.
- Ninja Emaki/Dark Mist (arcade): A vertically-scrolling shooters that I played religiously in the games room at the nearby bowling alley. Every Friday evening, 20c of the pocket money I had would be dedicated to trying to beat the brutally challenging sixth and seventh levels and their bosses. Interestingly, I found out from looking the game up on the internet, that I had been playing a bootleg variant that omitted the three health points your character had in favour of a 1HK from enemies or their bullets, unless you were carrying your special weapon power-up - in which case you lost it and were vulnerable until you got another one.
- Legendary Wings (arcade): The other vertical shooter that I tithed to every Friday. I enjoyed the game well enough, but the music was the main reason I kept coming back to play it.
- Rastan Saga (arcade)
- Chase HQ (arcade): This was the only sit-in car game I would play, mostly because it was something other than just plain racing (which I thought was boring then) and because of the hammy way one of the cops would say 'whoaaaaa!' whenever you activated the nitro boost.
- Splatterhouse (1988 arcade version): Pretty much everyone at the arcade would crowd round to watch anyone playing 'the Jason Voorhees' game, if they weren't already doing something else. The level of gore on display was pretty much unprecedented for games at the time - hacking off monster heads, chestburster-esque worms jumping out of piles of bloody meat with a distinctive hiss/screech, dismembered corpses lying around in the fore and backgrounds. It was a real eye-opener.
- Carrier Command (Atari ST): The first real strategy game I had played (I used to watch my friend's dad play Red Storm Rising on his C64, but it looked way too complex for me). It came with no instructions, so it took me forever to work out how to keep the carrier from running out of fuel and losing the game, but when I did, I played it way too much for my own good.
- Streets of Rage II (Megadrive): I hadn't played the first SOR at the time I played this, though I had played Final Fight at the arcade a few times, so I was familiar with the whole side-scrolling beat-em-up thing. I enjoyed this a whole lot more, mostly because the bosses weren't as cheap as Sodom was and didn't always need to be flying kicked once they'd taken a knockdown. The music (Yuzo Koshiro I think?) was also really catchy.
- Landstalker (Megadrive)
- Shining Force II (Megadrive)
- NiGHTS (Saturn): By far the most original game I've played. The battle you have with Reala at the end of Stick Canyon was very memorable for me, even if the concept of an evil twin was hardly new.
- Guardian Heroes (Saturn): Easily my favourite beat-em-up game of all time.
- Final Fantasy VII (PS1)
- Halo (Xbox)
- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (Xbox)
- Jade Empire (Xbox)
- Gears of War (X360)
- Halo: Reach
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (X360): The first Modern Warfare impressed me quite a bit with its first-person cutscenes.
- Batman: Arkham Asylum (X360): Has one of the most enjoyable combat systems I've ever seen in a game.
OK, stopping there, or else this will just go on forever ...

Haha, excellent. I wish I still had my old Amstrad games but the only thing that remains of that relic is the monitor. I held on to every single DOS game I bought though. >.>
Here's another from the Amstrad; know this one?
I really should start a 'name that game' thread.
