I remember super Mario bros 3 distinctly, but my earliest gaming memory I distinctly remember is Tarzan for the ps1.

My first clearest memory of a game I played when I was young was the Star Wars arcade game where you play as an X-Wing trying to destroy the Deathstar. 
I have played games before BUT those are not as much concrete in my head. And Super Mario Bros. and Cobra Triangle were the first NES games I ever played a couple of years later. Super Mario Bros. and NES as a whole were the catalyst for my great videogame interest. That became the point of no return. From that point I actively searched out games and information about hem.

For home consoles I would say either the Pong system a friend of mine had or when I got my first system, the Atari 2600, and had games like Combat, Space Invaders, Asteroids and Missle Command.  Arcade games I first played would probably be Space Invaders or Asteroids.

It was Donkey Kong Country.  First ever video game I ever played (when I didn't even know what a video game was...not sure why I got an SNES for Christmas that year)

A game for the Vic-20 where you flew a helicopter around.  All the graphics were the Vic's alternate characters you could get by clicking alt (or ctrl or something else) plus a letter.  The C-64 had those too, I think.

Hmm..the past is a bit fuzzy, but I remember Beach Head and Zaxxon on the Vic 20, plus some maze game. Also some games on the 2600, but I really can't remember their names.

I used to press the space bar for my sister when she would actually play since I was only 3 or 4.

I'm not super positive what the FIRST game I ever played was, but I definitely remember playing like, Hoops, with my brother really early on. He and I also spent a ton of time of the NES Ninja Turtle games. Those were the days! He and I always went to Blockbuster to rent games and then we would play those games until we were pros. And then we had to give them back :'(
 
First game I ever played super obsessively was Pokemon Red. It was my very first game related purchase, I saved up all of my money to buy a Gameboy Pocket (clear, because that was omg awesome) and then proceeded to play Pokemon Red for like 150 hours. lol. My parents had to take it away from me when I needed to go to school, eat, or sleep.

SMB/Duck Hunt/Track & Field combo cart on NES. Not sure which game was first. Probably either Duck Hunt or Track & Field since I couldn't handle a controller yet.

Super Mario Bros, NES.  
Either that, or maybe Pac Man in the arcade.
