My uncle brought a TRS-80 Color Computer to grandma's house one Christmas. I was probably six or seven. I spent days there with my cousins playing games which loaded off cassette tapes. There were tons of games (which I understand now were pirated). You had to use the counter on the cassette tape to know where to begin loading the one you wanted. We had a lot of fun with that machine.
My dad bought one soon after and I learned how to program basic and make my own text adventure games. The best game on the system was Dungeons of Daggorath. I remember being actually scared by it.
I really enjoyed that computer, but the joysticks were really crap. I remember my dad being pissed about how much they cost and never working worth a shit.

Super Monkey Ball 2 on the Gamecube, or specifically, monkey target. For the uninitiated, monkey target makes no sense as a videogame.
It was a rough start.
Sitting in the floor in the bedroom my brother and I shared back when we loved in a less than savory part of town, about three years old playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the genesis. I remember us putting all of our silly misguided hopes in the 32x for our gaming future up until we got Tomb Raider on the PlayStation.
I also remember playing Super Mario and duck hunt on the NES with my mom, but I'm not quite sure when that was.

I remember my dad bringing home an Atari for my brother's birthday and begging to play Pitfall for months afterwards.

Pong. I know. No one knows it as it was so long ago....
