The first video game enemy that you killed.

I think it was a space invader, back when I was, uh, 6. Or possibly 5. It was a long time ago anyway.
There are three games that I played at around the same time. Alley cat, which was a platformer where you attempted to navigate a cat up clotheslines to a destination as a variety of obstacles conspired to stop you. The second was bouncing babies, a game where babies are being hurled out of a burning building to a pair of waiting firemen with a trampoline. They would use this trampoline to safely bounce the infants into a waiting ambulance. The third was castle, a graphical adventure game that used both arrow keys for movement and a fairly standard command system. The goal was to escape from a castle occupied with enemies.
While I do not recall which game I played first, the difficulty in castle implies that I was probably rapidly dispatched by something in the world before I ever figured out that my character was capable of fighting. Thus, it was probably in bouncing babies where I killed my first NPC - by failing to properly catch an infant thrown out of a high-rise.

Pidgey in the first Pokemon Stadium, i was 5. if you want a legit kill though, that would have to be the first zergling in the Starcraft tutorial.
In the Beginning, there was Donkey Kong Country.
And at the command of a seven year old boy in his cousin's basement, a tie-wearing gorilla leaped clumsily through the air and landed upon a Kremling. The burly, bipedal crocodile-man made a strangled noise somewhere between a grunt and a howl, a noise that would forever be emblazoned in the seven year old's memory, and plunged down toward the bottom of the screen, as if the weight of the ape had somehow dislodged him from reality and sent him hurtling out of their two-dimensional plane of existence.
And it was Good.

definitely a goomba in a super Mario bros....ahh the goombas initiating so many into the art of slaughtering those made of polygons and pixels.
The first actual kill I ever scored in a video game was a Zergling. I remember StarCraft was the first game I played in which enemies actually died, rather than disappearing with severe wounds as they did in Pokemon. (Though to be honest I think I played StarCraft before that too.)
