Probably the original Donkey Kong in the arcades. Although I did play a lot of Asteroids, also in arcades, but I think I discovered Donkey Kong first. Was probably around 1981? 82? Something like that.
I remember the start of the next generation of arcade titles, like Defender, and how much better they were.

My cousin had Pong. I remember playing it on my grandmothers Black and white TV when he came to visit, but I didn't really get into games until I got the Atari 2600. It came with Space invaders and Combat, and we had Asteroids too. I remember I was to young to understand to be careful with the controllers, and I think I broke a couple of them. I sucked at the games, but my brother could wrap the score. I played that console for many years. I never had a Nintendo console until the Wii. I went from the Atari to computers like the commodore 64, then to a IBM 286. I was hooked on PC games until the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2. Now I mostly play on the Xbox 360.
Original ORIGINAL Duke Nukem for MS DOS while sitting on my grandpa's knee, sipping half-frozen Doctor Pepper and munching sardines. Ah, those were the days. I stopped gaming for a bit, mostly because there weren't really consoles or computer games at my house at the time, but eventually my dad loaded the original Diablo on the computer, and I watched him play that, and that transitioned into me playing a little, and then to me getting a Gameboy Color and Pokemon Yellow... Haven't stopped gaming since.
Chip's Challenge.
It was on a computer that my dad and I used to practice building PCs on and would test boot programming on. I loved that game as a kid.

JK!!
But I think the first electronic game that I remember playing was a black and white Kid Pix game.
Albeit if we're talking about games with actual gameplay involved, the first game I ever remember playing was Super Mario Land 2 on my very own silver GameBoy Pocket.

The first "Crash Bandicoot" for the Playstation. I haven't played it since before I was eight (as far as I can remember). I watched my dad play and beat it, but I never could at that age. I could beat 2 and 3, but never 1. I'm sure if I went back to it now I could do it, but it's the only thing in gaming that he can lord over me and I'm not going to take that from him.
All of you will feel very old when you hear my awnser: battlefield 1942 on the pc. I still play it sometimes, it's a good game. On multiplayer servers. After that was star wars battlefront, my older sister once got a kill streak (one life) of 110 or so. In a gunship, obviously. She was a great sniper, while I have always preferred assault rifles and machine guns. Droidekas are epic
