All of this 100%, except I'm reasonably certain it was on the Commodore 64 for me.

Whenever I am asked this question I always feel at a loss for how people could possibly remember their first video game. It's like asking "What was your first sentient thought" or something. Video games are like breathing; always been there. I've always been playing them, since long before I could even form memories. I used to think everyone felt this way but it seems as though most people can indeed remember their first so I guess I'm just a turbonerd
Lump me in the "I have no idea" category.

For me, it was very old PC games. I am talking about before Window OS were common on PCs. My grandma on my mom's side was really into computers (she was a younger than average Grandma being in her 40s back then). She liked video games, and as a result I played them when I went to work with her and my mom (they worked at the same place for a time). This was before I ever set foot inside any kind of school. Besides a game called Rockford, I don't remember what else I played title wise besides a education math game. My grandma did have some sort of adventure game on her home PC (sort of like Space Quest or King's Quest) that were based off of old nursery rhymes.

My family would also get an ancient PC that ran some old games, as well. It is weird to think this was in the days when a monitor would take a good half a minute to brighten all the way and the computer didn't even have a mouse. Just some weird command screen before going to DOS.
