The home version of pong when I was 4 years old.
My friend's dad owned a small local cable station so he had access and money to get all the latest crap.
I remember he also had a brand new beta max, and I was just this innocent 4 or 5 year old kid and I was asking why the time was flashing and the adults didn't know. So I just walked up and programmed it. They praised me as being a literal genius and I was like you idiots It's just a fucking clock.
I think it was Adventure on the Atari Flashback 2
First i remember playing was Pitfall Mayan Adventure on pc, through an emulator. First I finished, Dark Souls Remastered, last year
Backyard Football and Baseball for PC. I'm pretty sure there were some earlier puzzle games but those two had me loving sports and stats for years.
It's weird reading through the posts and seeing how vivid these moments are for some. I think I may have a memory problem because it's honestly hard to say what I played first. It was sometime around 1988, and my guess is original Mario for NES since it's the first console my parents got, and it came with it. I remember playing it but it's hard to say if it was the first since I may have played something at a relative or friend's house. Played a lot of random NES games after that. My parents also owned an intellivision so it could have been something on that as well.
River Raid for the Atari 2600
either Super Mario Bros. on a famiclone or Circus Charlie.
I remember being spooked the fuck out by those "fire rings". man, they looked and still look otherwordly. the whole game gave me creeps.

Rocky's Boots on Apple II. It was an educational logic game using logic gates to complete puzzles.
I can't remember which came first, my mom got some games for her Commodore 64, or my dad getting a used Intellivision from one of his buddies at work.
It was either Pitfall or Frog Bog depending on which came first.
Hard to say, but possibly Spectron for the Spectravideo SV-328. The first game I remember really having an impact was Super Mario Bros. Played it at my friend's house and afterwards I begged my parents for a NES. That was a happy Christmas.
