Wolfenstein 3D. My uncle was playing it when I was very young and he let me play it too. Problem was, I was so young so all I did was hold the controller. I didnt even know what a videogame was.

Missle Command probably, on Atari. My Dad loved that game. Can't believe he sold our old system+games for $5 at a garage sale.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater (the first one) on the PS1.
Without a full explanation it sounds silly, but that game changed my life.

Super Mario Brothers.
I remember thinking how amazing it was to actually be able to make the character move and jump on the screen. It was like playing with an action figure, only I wasn't pretending the figure is moving or jumping, it actually was moving.
I don't know who's house I was at, it someone my parents were visiting, who's kid had a nintendo. i was like 6 years old, and there were a group of other kids around the same age or a little older, all sitting on the floor, looking up at the TV. We all took turns, playing after someone died. I remember I kept dying at the first jump, while everyone could make it with ease. No matter how hard I tried, I always failed, and just could never made it.
The problem? No one told me that holding down the B button would make Mario run faster. The kids just kept letting me die, then taking the controler. Little punks.
But still, I thought Mario was the greatest thing I had ever seen.

Asteroids (Atari 2600) I remember playing with my best friend one day until we had flipped the scoreboard 9 times and had max lives. We finally just got tired of playing and quit.

Pong was mine, but I loved my Intellivision in the early 80's. Amazing how far things have come, BFBC2 is my game now, what a difference.

I could live in hope
Mine was either Tom and Jerry on the gameboy color, or Star Wars: Dark Forces II for the 95/98 PC. I can't recall which was first, but I love both dearly. Great times.

Hmm good question...probably Pong or something similar...the ball was a square on a black background with a couple of rectangles on an old atari. My first Arcade game was Star wars.
