Got this idea from another topic although I feel we might have had this topic before.

Super Mario Bros. for me, which I expect to get quite a few votes.

Based on Japanese release date, probably Dragon Quest IV.
For North American release dates, I'm not sure. SMW is a few weeks too new.

I guess probably SMB3? Or maybe Dr. Mario?

Japanese release of Super Mario World was six days before I was born

non-Japanese release date choice is probably Tetris

Probably Super Mario Bros off the top of my head, can't think of many games from before I was born that I'm big fans of. I'm a couple of months too old to be able to use the Japanese release of SMB3 to justify picking it

a very tough question. i feel like i have a very distinct advantage being one of the youngest on the board by a very noticeable margin (so i can factor in essentially the entire first half of the 90s...) but even then there isn't too much that i look back on and feel like caters particularly to my own preferences without reservation about aspects having aged kind of not the best, or them just not being as feature heavy as i'd want (in the case of say, fighting games) compared to even a mere couple of years later if even that

in other words, probable animegame, decent sprites and fun... i feel like before i could answer that, i'd have to like, consult (and familiarise myself with) a list of pc-engine games or something lmao

If we are going by original release dates, Super Mario Bros. 3. I was also born after the NA release, but not the release in my region. I miss the original Super Mario World release by a few months.

If it has to be release in my region, no idea. The Legend of Zelda perhaps, or Super Mario Bros. European release delays used to be rough.

I really don't like any of them. Maybe Wizard of Wor? Seem to recall playing that as one of my first video games back on the Commodore 64 and it was apparently released just before I was born.

Assuming EU release dates... probably Zork.

(I was born in 86, so SMB and TLoZ were out in Japan, but didn't reach the UK until mid/late 87)

I was born just before SMB and am not particularly fond of anything made before that. I guess I'll go with Breakout even though I've never played the original version.

Specific launch dates werent really a thing back then in America

Once they made and packaged the games they just shipped them out and you started selling them as you got them
