First gaming experience
Tetris, if it counts. If it doesn't, Rayman on PC I believe.

First game bought
Diablo, the original. Back then, my godfather sorted out the sweeping.

First PC game
Yet again, Rayman.

Most Profound Game
Deus Ex. I still like to replay that.

Longest Life
I would've said World of Warcraft, but something makes me believe I played CSS a whole lot more.

First gaming experience
I really am not sure, but I'm going to guess it was Granny's Garden on the school BBC Micro. If not, it could be my cousin playing Creature Shock... which is probably why I still don't like OMGLOOKOUT-based FPSs.

First game bought
Consultation with my mother suggests this was Hard Drivin' for the Mega Drive, though it could possibly be Moonwalker. Excellent and mediocre respectively.

First PC game
Tough one. The first game I remember playing a lot was a cracked demo of Worms. I still remember it being previewed on Bad Influence.

Most Profound Game
Probably Half-Life. Its use of an actual unfolding plot rather than a string of loosely connected shocks made me think that FPSs might be quite good after all.

Longest Life
According to XFire, COD:UO. I still play the Mega Drive Sonics now and again but I wouldn't call it sustained life. Half Life is of course still very playable (though Black Mesa can't come quickly enough).
