"Haunted House" on a TRS-80 Model I Level I with a blazing 4k of testosterone soaked RAM. With a cassette drive that took over 5 minutes to load that awesome 4k text-only game. RAWR!

Officially a Dirty Old Woman

I haven't got a clue what it was called, but it was an old BBC adventure game that took about half an hour to load, and we never got past the third (?) stage because it was a black screen with 'holes' in it that you had to try to avoid (sudden death). Needless to say, it caused much irritated intrigue.
Other ones include Chucky Egg and Frogger on the BBC and NewZealand Story on the Commadore 64. We also had a couple of those old text-based RPGs on a battered old Atari machine - I loved them as a kid!
My first 'proper' D&D RPG was Warriors of the Eternal Sun on the Megadrive... gosh, I'd love to play that again
Earliest Playstation games were Kings Field and the original (and best) Tomb Raider.
First 'proper' PC games... probably the X-Com games and Doom; however the first game hubby and I bought for the first PC we bought together as a couple was, rather ironically, the first Baldur's Gate. We still own the discs, all in pristine condition and in the original packaging

Rogue-the original, still carried around on floppies. The first game I actually *understood* to any degree, however, was probably Outpost.

1987, Asteroids on Amstrad PC ... then very long 8 bit period.
As for the first CRPG (sort of): it was Diablo in 1996 which was followed by Fallout two years later. Before that I played a lot of strategy games (Master of Orion 2, C&C, Panzer General etc.) and FPS.

First game ever? Ever ever? ... Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure. I was about three or four, maybe.
