Pitfall on my Atari 800xe.
Okay, technically an atari 2600 game, my first "real" computer game was the original King's Quest.

Zork 1 by Infocom. Actually the very first game I played on a computer was a text football game that was a program that you executed on a mainframe when I was a senior in high school.

First COMPUTER game? Hm... back when i first started using computers (old 286, commodore 64s, VICs, etc), you actually had to program your own game. You'd go get a book with games, and just punch in the codes.

So i don't really remember the first games... but the first game i REALLY remembered and enjoyed was Leisure Suit Larry. At 10 years old, that game was GOD.
