I never really thought about it until about the early-mid 2000s, when I alternated between:

Deus Ex
Diablo II
Metroid Prime

before more or less settling on Deus Ex.

In terms of games that probably were my favorite before then without me specifically designating them as such:

Pokemon Red
Metal Gear Solid
Pokemon Gold

Some I really enjoyed at friends'/cousins' houses, like Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye, etc. I had a Mega Drive (Genesis) and PS1.

I'm not really sure what my first game was honestly. Maybe Pac-Man or Tetris (GB). I vaguely remember playing a TMNT game early on too. It was on a system that took those large floppy disks, possibly the Amstrad given I live in the UK. Probably this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_(NES_video_game)

I didn't properly get into gaming until I was a bit older (with Pokemon pretty much), hence the near absence of older games. I have gone back and played loads of games that have since become favorites (but not the favorite) though, e.g. Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, Mega Man X, A Link to the Past, etc. Plus the above games I played elsewhere.
