First game you remember playing

Oh god, that just made me remeber Freddy FIsh. The Freddy games seemed infinite to me back then, and I could never solve them. Just loaded them up tody again, and had beat it within half an hour.
Another seemingly timeless part of childhood has been destroyed!
Mu girst game was an interactive tonka truck game for the computer. Hey, it was free roam, and awesome. Then I got into the myst series (there were many games in between there) and am pulling my hair out at riven.
Oh boy, this question took me down onto memory lane.
PC: My dad bought a brand new and shiny 286 (or was it already a 386?) with lovely MS-DOS, and I remember us playing the first Space Quest ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Quest:_The_Sarien_Encounter ) as well as of course, straight after: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_of_Monkey_Island and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom_(video_game) and famously http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Last_Crusade:_The_Graphic_Adventure
Back then games came on lovely floppy disks and copy protection was actually a cardboard wheel which you had to turn in certain ways to get a code to enter the game, so people without the wheel couldnt enter the games.
I also had a SNES and ofc played Super Mario Bros, my first console experience (even if I had dabbled Zelda on a NES at a friends place, but was too young to understand it back then)
Every game released after those 4 mentioned above is pure shit, or just a bad ripoff (well, sort of, there are exceptions).

Age of Empires and some Lego pizza delivering game and WWE games on the PS1 were the most played when I started playing games (other than going out as a child and having fun on swings :D), not 100% oldschool, but I'm no hardcore gamer 
I can remember a Motorbiking game for that aswell, that was probably the first game ever played.

I actually still have the first two (now ancient) Prince of Persia games; I remember that every few stages, you would be dropped in this room with 26 potions labeled A-Z, and you'd have to refer to the manual to figure out which potion would, when drunk, open the door. The rest would just kill you or something.

Hover, the first game I ever played at age 6. The objective was to capture all your enemy's flags before the enemy captured yours..slightly different to CTF. INCREDIBLY addictive

You're all babbies.
I remember playing pong. To be fair, not the original one, but a console you hooked up to the tv, with big giant dials as controllers and a light gun. It had several games, amongst which a duck hunt type game (you shot a white cube) and pong.
Edit...
This is a pic I found.
The stock and barrel where removable, so you either had a pistol or you had a rifle. (Or a combination thereof)

So, no. I was not. I know what a nes is. I've owned one for most of my life. Not to mention the nes didn't have dials as controllers.
Maybe actually read and think about what I said next time, hmm?
Ok, i fail

I'm thinking it would've probably been The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, or Super Smash Brothers Melee.
Yep, I suppose I am a baby.
And by the way, I'm playing through Majora's Mask at the moment (never did beat that game). I've got my old N64 running right now.
