Mine was watching my mom playing The Even More Incredible Machine on our old computer. I think she got it for free when she bought the computer and she was always playing that game and I loved it too. The visuals and the music were always so appealing to me. Still play it to this day and I've been playing it for as long as I can remember. I wish they made more games like that today. Definitely showing my kids this game when they come of age, it just promoted thinking outside the box and creativity.

My dad would take me to work sometimes to baby sit me, I was probably 4 or 5. I learned enough to open up a couple of games in DOS. I couldent even begin to tell you what game it was but you were a monster "M" and moved around to "eat" other characters in a maze.
Also: Marble Madness, California Raisins, operation WOLF, Qix are all very vivid.

Either playing Super Mario World on the SNES or Ms. PAC-MAN on a table in a pizza store where I was born.

Pretty sure it was in 1981, went on vacation to Disney World (going from Oklahoma) at our hotel two girls I had a crush on were standing in-front of this strange looking box and randomly hitting the bottom of it with their flip-flops. I finally worked up the courage to walk up to them and they let me play what was my first encounter with Pacman. I had no idea what to do and didn't get when I should run from the ghosts and when I should chase them. The hitting with the flip-flops was I guess my first encounter with a 'hack' because instead of dropping quarters the girls had figured out that by hitting it they would get free games. I was maybe 8 at the time, and I did score a 'bunt' (not sure if that's a thing) but I got to hold hands with one of them while we watched her friend play. First time with a game and my first holding hands. Greatest vacation ever!

Playing Super Mario World at my neighbor's house. I could never beat Donut Plains 2 for some reason, and would insist on playing it over and over, good times.
The first game I actually owned for a console was Super Mario 64, although I probably played some PC games before that which I no longer remember

One of the first games I actually bought for myself was Super Mario 64 DS. I played the hell out of that game. Must have completed it four or five times.
