Considering you posted that you just had your first game then I'm assuming your talking about a newbie setup for getting into the hobby. With that being said $200 (USD?) Is going to be a bit on the low side for getting a reliable setup. Bare bones set up is going to be getting a gun, goggles + face protection, battery, charger, and BBs.

Good eye protection is an absolute must IMO as your eyes are very expensive to repair, used everyday, and don't come with a warranty. Impact resistant lenses are a must (no mesh eye protection unless you like fragmentation going in your eyes). Dye Mask My wife uses this mask and it gives good protection, doesn't fog up much, and is relatively comfortable. Can even wear glasses under them but it's a bit of a snug fit for them. This will cover your eye and face protection in an economic package. There is something like a $30 one that doesn't have the thermal lenses but I don't know how well they perform and fogging is a real pain to deal with so I think the extra $10 for thermal lenses is worth it.

Airsoft branded batteries are usually over priced so get generic purpose batteries. The decision is between lipo and nimh with lipo having a more expensive start up cost (a proper balanced charger isn't cheap) and needs more care/upkeep to properly use. Nimh are cheaper to start with (a smart charger plus a 9.6v 1400mah battery can be gotten for 35. Nimh are older tech and much bulkier but almost fool proof to use as long as you don't do anything truly idiotic with then.

The fun and expensive part of this whole endevor is the gun. This is where the wallet weeps and where investing in quality will pay off in fewer issue and potentially less upgrade/repair costs down the road. What style of gun do you want to get? We could suggest the most economical and starter friendly M4 for example but it doesn't help if your interested in something like an AK or something more exotic instead. The thing though is that most decent beginner guns are going to run closer to $150 or more which really cuts into that $200 budget when your already sinking $35 into your battery kit and $30 or $40 into your eye protection.

BBs is the last thing but again something important to get. Don't buy cheap BBs as they risk breaking the gun. Never use .12 BBs as they love to shatter. I highly recommend elite force BBs as they are good quality and not insanely expensive. .25g BBs are a good balance between indoor and outdoor play while I prefer .28 for outdoor settings. A bottle of BBs can range from $15 to $25 depending on how many you need and the weight of them.

Gonna second what a few other people said - mesh doesn't make good eye protection. BBs can and will shatter into your eyes. If you can't get contacts or prescription goggles, I wear ESS Innerzone 3 goggles over my glasses. Dye i4/i5 goggles also fit over my glasses, although they're pretty expensive. The Dye Special Edition looks way less sleek, but has as good antifog as the i4/i5 and fits over glasses too.

Here's the cheapest stuff I'd recommend:

Apex Fast Attack CQBR or CYMA CM028 - $100

Hobbyking lipo and battery charger - $30. I'd recommend 2 batteries.

Dye SE thermal lens, Empire Helix, or Pyramex i-force + One Tigris mask - $30
