Mine was Frogger on Colecovision, I was 2. I picked it because I liked the frog on the cartridge.

Close for me. Was almost certainly something on the ColecoVision, and I was either 5 or 6 (because I was 5 the year it released, and I got one for Christmas the year after when I was 6 - but I played on my cousin's console somewhere between those two points). Honestly can't say for 100% what my first game was, though... it might have been Donkey Kong, but it might also have been Antarctic Adventure, or Carnival, or maybe even BC's Quest for Tires. I probably would either have just grabbed something at random out of his collection, or just played whatever he told me was the best game.

The first game ever played that I personally owned was definitely Donkey Kong on the ColecoVision, because it came with the console. After which I bought Cosmic Avenger, Subroc, Popeye, and Montezuma's Revenge. And then I got the Atari 2600 adapter and mostly just played a metric shit-ton of Atari games.

It's basically why I wrote this Top 10:

The first computer game I ever played was probably either Moon Patrol or Mario Bros on the Apple IIe. Again, it was my cousin's, and it would have been sometime around 1984 or so (so I would have been 7-8, give or take).
