What was the first video game you remember playing?

My first ever game was Pokemon Blue on Gameboy. Bought it myself after working.

My first game was probably something in an arcade. But I remember playing a Simpsons game on the Game Boy.

I think it was Mario on a video game console.

I think my first real gaming memories were a mix of early PC and classic titles. Something like Counter-Strike 1.6 or maybe GTA: Vice City really stuck with me.
What made them memorable wasn’t just the games themselves, but the feeling figuring things out without tutorials, messing around for hours, and just getting completely immersed.
Also, back then even simple mechanics felt amazing, so you didn’t need crazy graphics to enjoy it.
Curious how many people here started with older PC games vs consoles.
