Christ, I've been attached to video games as long as I can remember, since Super Mario World and Super Street Fighter II on the SNES.
However, if you want to know the game that cemented my place in life as a true gaming enthusiast, that would be Devil May Cry. That one made me a gamer.

I had to bike over to my friends house to play his Spectrum. Sabre Wulf hooked me into gaming.
Pokemon Red XD
First game I ever played was Myst, but Pokemon Red was my jam, I remember when it came out.

Well there are a few
1) Diablo 2/Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - I was still in kindergarden back then and I watched my dad and uncle play those games. Since my balls haven't developed yet, I wasn't able to fully apreciate the masterpieces that I was witnessing, so I was thinking "Ooooo shiny! So colorful! Hehehe, walking cows are funny derp!" When I finnaly got a hold of the keyboard I, of course, was killed by the junglemen in stage 3 ... but nevertheles I continued to fail again and again until I was good at it. Hooray for out gamer stubbornness!
2) When I was a little bit older (6-7 years I think) I was given a PS1. My very first game was Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer. To this day, it's still one of the funnest games I've ever played. After that was Crash Bandicoot 2. Loved it. And then Tekken 3, which offially gave me my "gamer" title. Yey, I feel so proud ^^ ...

Kingdom Hearts. Oh, that game brought me many hours of "0.o" faces and "Holy shit Sephiroth's sword" moments.
Also made me desire for weird, innovative, action-y games. Thanks, Square Enix, for making the best Disney-Final Fantasy crossover ever.
EDIT: Technically, Super Mario World or Aladdin for the SNES were my first games, but I was like 6. So the Kingdom Hearts series really brought me here.

My first games were on the Commodore 64, but I can't remember any titles.
The game I remember getting me really into gaming was Sonic the Hedgehog. An obscure title from the 90's that I don't think anyone else played but me. It was about this odd blue hedgehog that wore shoes and ran really fast.

Pokemon Blue, Mario Kart 64, StarFox 64, StarCraft.
Cousins introduced me to Pokemon, neighbor had the N64 titles, and dad brought StarCraft back from the office one day.
But really, it was Pokemon. Oh, my Blastoise/Alakazam/Beedrill/Butterfree/Raichu/Pidgeot team...or maybe it was Fearow. In any case, the other 5 are definitely right. Good times, man.
