Games in general are what did well for me.
That said when I was introduced to Elite (TNK being the main one I played) it was a rather eye opening experience.
Tetris provided the background theme to my head I guess.
Co-op is something I like. Certain games may have provided examples but they were later supplanted (something like Chip and Dale NES gave way to streets of rage or possibly Sonic).
At the same time there have also been a small handful of competitive multiplayer games I care to play. Like above though they ceded their ground when another came along, in this case Rampart might have given way to bomberman (I missed out on NES bomberman for whatever reason).
This was all somewhat later though. I can't really think of a text adventure that truly stuck with me and most of the earlier PC stuff I would have played would have been more educational than not (though it did introduce me to the idea of pulling apart games into their individual components to try to get something going there). I can not think of a C64 game I really want to single out.
If I am allowed a console and it was somewhat later that it arrived on the scene for me then the Amiga. Thinking back now it introduced me to so many games and gameplay styles I like.
