Hello Kitty No Hanabatake I believe was the very first video game I played when I was like 4. PGA Tour Y2K was a banger too.

I can't remember a particular first game. Nethack, various MUDs, Descent 1, Starcraft, and Unreal Tournament (1999) were all reasonably early.
For me it would have definitely been an MS-DOS game. Exactly which one is harder to remember since I was a kid, but I do recall playing a lot of an educational game called Operation Neptune.
In early 2000s, I got hooked into an online MMORPG called Tibia with some friends. At it's peak it had something like 70k players online. It was cutthroat, if you died you'd lose hours and hours of progress. I was hooked at one point doing 14h days. That experience has been impossible to recreate in adulthood.
OG Fallout.
Quake 3 was my first but Ultima Online is the one that made me fall in love.
