I started with the D&D basic set in 1982. I was 9. I started playing AD&D later the same year.
Eventually my group branched out into other RPGs... I remember playing Star Frontiers and a bit of Traveller and Gamma World.
By high school, my player group were all fans of Rolemaster. I played a
lot of that. Occasionally we branched out into other games: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was popular for a while, as was the Robotech RPG. I tried to get my group interested in GURPS once, but that didn't go over so well.
(Slightly off topic) Around that time, a friend of mine bought the Runequest 3 boxed set and showed it off to the group; I instantly coveted it, but it was a year or two before I could save up enough money for a copy of my own. He never ran a game-- he found the magic rules too hard to comprehend. I ran it once, but it was a very bad experience that put me off running a straight Runequest game to the present day (the fault being the players', not the system).
In college I played homebrewed games and Vampire. I was quite fond of the Dangerous Journeys system, but couldn't find any players (unsurprisingly).
Since then, I've basically played what's on my shelf. Most often I run solo campaigns for my wife, since I don't have a regular gaming group. Pendragon's her favorite game.

Good heavens-- someone else watched that too?
