Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the game, but remember some moments when I played it seating in front of the computer. Dad bought the PC to work, but also allowed me to play sometimes.

I used to "play" (aka disconnected control) with my brother that one Kirby racing game before I could even walk. The first videogame I actually played was either the kirby racing game or super mario party 7

I don't know if it is really a videogame... but my first "videogame" was a tamagotchi, like this photo bellow

A ~10 ten ago it was a very popular here. Every child had a tamagotchi with different colours, pet... It was a very fun epoch.

Must have been a C64 game but I can't say for sure which one as it came with so many games (used C64 with tons of games). Possibly Operation Wolf. I remember it felt more exciting than movies or the real world.

fake tetris on a shitty chinese knockoff portable yellow "console". but if we're talking about actual nameable videogames, super mario kart for the snes, my babysitter's daughter had it and i spent every tuesday playing it (and super mario world) since 3 years old until 8.

I don't remember The First Played Ever either (could possibly have been Windows 2000 minesweeper at my mom's office, something joystick-and-buttons at the arcade, or something on a demo console at the supermarket, or a Brick Game)

First nominally owned was The Smurfs (the platformer) for PS1, both gifts for my 5th birthday or christmas - though I didn't really like it too much, it was quite hard for my skills back then (but I loved getting my dad to play it for me)

First I consciously picked and bought was Pokemon Crystal (the last one in stock forever at that store, in 2003), which also holds the questionable award of being the most influential game on my early life...

My first videogame that I recall playing and seeing was a game called Circus Caper for NES. It's a piece of crap with extremely brutal game mechanics, annoying yet catchy tunes, creepy clowns you punch to death with your bare fists, alligators you jump on, and all sorts of crazy circus people trying to kill you. Never could get passed Stage 3, and the game isn't good enough to really bother getting any further. The next game I owned after that I believe was Super Mario Bros 3 which I played for 1000s of hours.
My life would never be the same, it led to my obsession with Computers and Arcades which helped me get a career and a social life (yes, I played competitive Dance Dance Revolution)

I was about 4, and my mom decided to let me try the Sega Genesis and Sonic 2. She gave me the second controller, and let me play as Tails, so I could run into enemies and press buttons. I remember having so much fun trying to play it, but I can't really recall much else other than enjoying the game.
These games are great for little ones. My oldest and I play Kirby all star allies and the 4 year old loves to join us. We usually let her walk through a door or fly around in the friend ship. Sure some levels may take longer, but this is teaching my oldest the art patience and the youngest is having a blast.

Anyhow, dragster on the atari2600 was my first game memory. My dad and I would play it. It took me a while to understand how the gears worked. I can’t tell you how many times and how hard we laughed when we blew the engines. It has this funny sound. So it’s be; 1,2,3ZIP!

My first video game that I can remember was a built in game on the Fairchild Channel F called "Tennis". You can't go much further back than that when it comes to video game/family entertainment systems.
