What is the first video game you remember playing?

It would have to be Baseball on Intellivision. Though, I was so little it could have been anything on that system.
 
I'm pretty sure I played something on the Atari 2600, but my first real memories were definitely Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt for the Nintendo.
 
Super Mario Bros. is my video game foundation and what I remember first and most (and honestly, a favorite still today), but I know it wasn't my first. I definitely played Commodore 64 and Atari before that, just nothing that sticks out.
 
We had the tank game. So I guess we had some kind of Atari
 
We had a Radio Shack TV Scoreboard. It looked like Pong, but it had tennis, hockey, squash and practice - just a square ball hitting lines that you shifted up and down.

For Christmas 1982, my brother and I received Coleco Vision. He got Donkey Kong, I got Smurf's Adventures. That was the first game that was officially "mine."
 
Not sure if this counts as "video" game but if it does then this was the first, hours at a time.

 
Super Mario World for Super Nintendo. Love that game. There's still a couple of secret levels I want to find but it's going to be a while before I am going to sneak over to my dad's and play it.

Also have fun memories of Atari baseball

That one and the head-to-head football were great. My uncle had pong before I had Atari. First one on Atari I played a lot was the baseball
with the three fielders. Liked playing Stampede also.
 
A plastic screen that stuck on the TV, for crayon drawing stairs, etc., for Winky Dink.

Later, a guided missile game in CP-M on my Kaypro 2.
