I'm from 99 however my first console was actually the SNES for some reason, first games I played were the DKC trilogy, Super Mario Bros All Stars and I also remember a Football, Basketball and F1 game but not sure which one they were (not FIFA or NBA live tho). I also had a gameboy with a Super Mario Game and DKC 1.
I then got a PS2 when I was around 4-5 I think and my first game was Titeuf la mega compet.

I remember a set of arcade games in a small store 300 yards down the street from where I grew up. They had Ms.Pacman, Bubble Bobble, Aero Fighters 2, Samurai Shodown, and a racing game I to this day have no idea what it was. The images in my head of it are too vague.

However, there may have been something earlier. My father was a high school biology teacher when I was little and he had a couple Apple II machines in his room. The few times I visited him at work in those days I played some kind of explorer game on them. You played as an Indian Jones-like character wondering around these underground platform mazes. Retrospectively it looked a lot like Lode Runner. You could collect keys to open chests that were at the end of the stage. I just remember most of the environments were totally back with spider webs you had to avoid. Wish I knew the name of this game.

I've probably played something on the Atari 2600 before that, but my earliest and fondest memory is of playing Alex Kidd in Miracle World for the Master System.

I remember playing aladin (idk what version) in a dentists office when i was like 6. my first actual game though i believe was Atlantis for the ps1 and Croc and Spyro. I can't remember any others at the moment.

Trying to think of first video games by system just for the heck of it..  I listed my first actual games, which was on NES, but I think it went...

SNES - Super Mario World
Genesis - Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Lion King
N64 - Super Mario 64, Pilotwings 64
PC - Command & Conquer, Warcraft 2
PS2 - Funny how it's harder to remember this era than the early ones, but I'm pretty sure it was 007 Agent Under Fire and Smugglers Run, mostly because the PS2 I got ended up ruining a James Bond game disk and Sony replaced it and I think it was that one.
GC - Animal Crossing
Xbox - Halo

And that's about all I'll do.

The first game I remember playing was Wizards & Warriors on NES. I remember being amazed at how I was able to control a little knight and do so much damage. This really kicked off video games for me!
