Feel free to take some liberties on this one if you don't remember or want to name your first game for a particular console.
The first video game I ever owned, EVER, was Donkey Kong Country for the Game Boy Pocket. Good game. Sure I got stuck at a certain part and gave up for a couple years, but it was still a lot of fun.
Moving a little bit forward in time, the first non-handheld game I owned was Spyro 1 for the PS1. I had some good memories with this one: it was before I had a memory card so I had to leave my PS1 on nonstop or I'd lose my game. The Spyro series went downhill after the second one, but first one and that were both great platformers.

Warcraft II and it's expansion, Beyond the Dark Portal. I bought these a few days after we got our... second PC, I think it was. First one that didn't suck, anyway. I absolutely loved WC2 then, and it amazes me sometimes how far gaming has come in such a short time.
I reserve the right to be entirely wrong.

The first game and system I ever owned was Super Mario Land for the Gameboy, but I got the Gameboy Pocket rather than the orginal, thick version. That was a great game.
Can i just repeat what a previous post said and say "this will show my age"? The first game i played was Doomsday Blues on Amstrad CPC 464. You probably don't remember it but it scared the crap out of me!

I could be wrong but I think that the first system I ever owned was Atari, but maybe Gameboy did come out before Atari. If was Atari first then my first game was that skate boarding game - that was the best! If it was Gameboy it was Super Mario brothers - still one of my favorite all time games.

The first game I ever owned was Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo
We actually bought the SNES quite late, around 1995 or so and at that time the console was at its maturity and I believe N64 was about to be released (if not already released, I can't remember). The next system I bought was the PlayStation 1.
. Super Mario on SNES . Donkey Kong Country on SNES . E.T. on Atari 2600 . Spy Hunter on Atari 2600 . Sonic the Hedgehog. . Barnstorming. . Chip's Challenge on PC . ABC's Mickey Mouse at the circus! . Word Rescue, the Gruzzles. . The Lemmings on DOS
Just a few

One Christmas, my brother and I asked for a Nintendo and our parents (or well Santa to us then I guess) got us an Atari. A few years later we asked for a SNES and got an NES...my parents were always a console behind what everyone else was getting.
Oh and the first game I remmeber was the hockey game for the Atari.
