I doubt it was the literal first game I played, but Ghouls n' Ghosts for the sega genesis was my favorite as a kid, with sonic 2 as a VERY close second
Boulderdash 2 and Kickstart 2 on the Commodore 64.
I think it might have been Falcon 3.0?
Rocky's Boots on Apple II. It was an educational logic game using logic gates to complete puzzles.

Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door on GameCube. I am super excited for the switch remake.
I think it's either Super Mario Land on gameboy, or Super Mario Bros on NES. I can't remember which.
Mostly flash games on some websites. However, the main one I remember was Colin McRae Rally 2.0. Getting a cheap controller with force feedback was amazing.
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.
how about the earliest game that had a profound impact on you? Ultima Exodus for me. it had an immersive world you could explore way bigger than zelda. lots of hidden side quests and some mind-blowing secrets. i mean, tracking the phases of the twin moons was actually part of the game. some of the secrets were essential to completing the game which is why i never was able to complete it until i used a walk-through years later.
years later as a veteran DM, it was absolutely the most influential game i ever played.
