Donkey Kong on the Atari 800 when I was four. 26 years later I still have it and it still works (but using a Sega Genesis controller instead of the Atari joysticks that broke long ago). Last Christmas I took turns playing with my parents and my sister after she asked me to bring it over.
My very first games were even earlier than that, but I was too young to remember. When I was two my parents had a floppy disk of Night Mission Pinball, and they would let me sit on their lap and press the keys for the paddles. They say I liked the game so much that I once gave the disk a hug like it was a teddy bear, and that was the end of it.

Yoshi's Story I remember loving how they used alternative graphics, and since then I have been in love with pretty much any game that looks "different." (My favorite games are Okami and Windwaker xD)
The first memory I have ever seeing a game was watching my older brother play The Illusion of Gaia on SNES. He would rage so so hard in the Mayan temple level. I tried playing but I really didn't understand anything as I was probably 6 or 7. I still own the game tho and I love it!
I also remember the day he brought home Asheron's Call for PC. This was the first MMO I was exposed to and entire reason I love the MMORPG genre so much. I remember we used some database app that had a list of all the spells and potions and all of their reagents. We printed the entire thing off in a bound booklet so we could access the content easier haha. I miss AC!

This is one of my first memories in general as well as my first game related one. Way back in the 80's my father was a young man in his early 20s. He was all about some NES. We had the Mario/Duck Hunt cart that came with the system. I tried it. Was not emotionally mature enough for Mario. I cried inconsolably and let the timer run out while Mario chilled at the beginning of the level. Goombas were scary and would kill me. Apparently I took video game death very seriously. Dad found this hysterical. He laughed right in my little kid face.

I've laughed at my daughter through the years for many of the odd things video games threw at her.
