Mario on the gameboy is the earliest game i can remember as a child.

Super Mario Bros for the NES. First game I can remember playing. First system was my cousin's old Atari 2600, it was a hand me down. I didn't care. It was a video game system of my own.

tetris attack.

Love this game so much.  I miss playing this with people.  Nintendo needs to bring this style of "tetris" back.

same here. my brother and i played it a lot as kids and by the time i was an adult i could thrash him at the game. my quicker-to-the-draw ex figured it out really fast, but i still thrashed him... only game i was better at than him ;I
very fun game.
i considered trying out the speed run challenge for it, then i realised i'm in no way breaking the ~9 minute run out there right now, so i dropped the idea... and anyway, attempting to? i'd never get those fucking coloured blocks out of my vision when i close my eyes LOL. they'd haunt my mind's eye and dreams for the rest of my life. it's bad enough when i play it for a few weeks, no less constantly for weeks.

If I remember right, my first game was arcade Space Invaders. It was near the customer service desk of a Sears and I played while my mom was returning something

Pitfall on the atari 2600 at my uncles house as a kid. Still an amazing game to this day.

Bionic Commando on the NES, as a five year old.
I don't really think my parents knew back then, that they bought a censored Nazi game

I believe it was actually pong,and i thought it was so cool back then.On a console it was pitfall

Going back on my previous answer, does anyone remember cable boxes in the early 90s that had a games section you could play with your remote?
I can't seem to find much about them online but I had one of those before I got my NES.

Some of them still have a games channel.  My parents have Dish Satellite service at home and you can still play games on it with the remote.  I have only ever played the trial versions of the game though.  It's a shame that most of those games are probably not preserved anywhere.
