What are some games where you played the sequel (or a later game in the series) before the original? Happened for me with Mega Man (played 2 first), Mortal Kombat (again, 2), Street Fighter (2) and Metal Gear (MGS 3).

Street Fighter 2. To this day I've never played the first.
Fallout: New Vegas. The first and only Fallout game I've played.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Ditto.
Call of Duty 2. I tried playing the original after I'd finished COD3, but only got about a third through the campaign before I abandoned it.
Super Metroid. I didn't play the original Metroid until two years ago, and have never played Metroid 2.

It'd probably be easier to name instances where this wasn't the case for me. For example, I didn't play the first Sonic game until Sonic Mega Collection on Gamecube yet I played the other two on Sega Genesis.

Final Doom was my first exposure to Doom. And the only Mario Bros game I've played was Paper Mario.

Street fighter 2 wins this so much. Very few people even knew what the first one even looked like during part 2's popularity.

Yes Street Fighter 2 as well. I had seen the original though, but never played it. Street Fighter 1 was in 2 arcades near me. I also didn't know it was a prequal to SF2.
I think I first played Mega Man 3. I however beat Mega Man 1 before I beat the other games.
Grand Theft Auto Vice City was my first exposure to that series.
Civilisation 2 was my first, never even seen the original. Or 3 but own 4 and 5.
Final Fantasy 7 was where it began for me. Its still by far the best FF game.

Another that comes to mind is Super Mario Bros., since it came after Mario Bros (and Donkey Kong too, I suppose). Street fighter 2 wins this so much. Very few people even knew what the first one even looked like during part 2's popularity. Yeah, SF wasn't exactly an obscure game, but it's the video game equivalent of a band's first album making the top 40 for a month, while their second album goes triple platinum.

Not counting wrestling games, I actually played and beat Mega Man 4 and 5 before I even played 1, 2 and 3. Mostly because they weren't in the rental stores near me at the time.
And though I didn't play much of it, borrowing it from a friend to try, I played the Game Boy Kid Icarus game before I ever played the NES version.

Street Fighter II Grand Theft Auto III Metal Gear Solid 2 Saints Row 2 Dead Rising 2
I was exposed to the first Street Fighter around the time I discovered SF2 when I found out that a relative had the game on an old computer. As for Saints Row 2, I wanted to play the first game, but I didn't have an Xbox 360. I think a lot of them are cheap these days, so I might get that game along with the first game. I also got the first MGS not long after playing MGS2.

I played Uncharted 2 before the original Uncharted.
going back was probably not a good idea because they refined so much between 1 and 2

Street fighter 2 wins this so much. Very few people even knew what the first one even looked like during part 2's popularity. Street Fighter 1 Sucks. Stiff ass controls and shitty hit dection. With that said, my first Mario game was Super Mario World. I didn't play the original till All-Stars.

Mega Man 2 Street Fighter 2 I played the PSP God of War before ever playing one from the main series due to my original PS2 dying well before GoW came out Fallout 3 Metal Gear Solid, didn't play the original Metal Gear til it came out in the MGS HD Collection for PS3 Metroid 2 Rainbow Islands:The Story of Bubble Bobble 2 due to my Mum's obsession with that game when I was a kid Double Dragon 2
I'm sure there's more, but that's all I got right now

Yeah Street Fighter 1 is not a good a game...and more than likely if you told someone that had only played it that it's sequel would be one of the most popular fighting games of all time and have millions of clones shortly after they'd probably think you were insane
