Mine was Mario and duck hunt (Like I expect a lot of people), but I wonder what your first game was.

I had more fun as a kid with duck hunt than the first mario, but I was bad at platformers.

Some Olympic sports game on my brothers C64. I vaguely remember weightlifting being part of it.

First game I played extensively without someone else telling me which buttons to push when was The Incredible Machineon PC or Mario on NES. Not sure which was first.

There's a pretty good chance that was Epyx Summer Games.

Looks like you can play it - in browser - here if you're nostalgic.

There were also Winter Games, California Games and Summer Games 2 for C64.
