I was like 5 when i 1st touched a computer in 1997/1998 at pre-school, there was this shitty PC with all of these learning programs for kids,
But the one game I do remember was that windows95 Ski game, where you skied down the slope, and inevitably some Indomitable Snowman came to fricking devour you, I could never win that darn game, could one of you strags beat it? I never could
Later in about 2000, one of my uncles would donate his fricking 10 year old DOS-PC for her to type and print on, and holy frick was that thing old. It didn't even have windows on its desktop, and you could not use the mouse to open a program - you had to type number 1-40 to open the listed 40 odd installed programs lmoa.
However the fricker did have 2 excellent games installed on it!
The complete 6 Episodes of the 1st Wolfenstein 3D
https://www.retrogames.cz/play_408-DOS.php
which apparently you can just fricking play in ur browser these days 
Ahhhhhhh good times, i would be able to 100% 2 episodes, however episode 2 and 6 were fricking bitches
Then there was Prehistoric
A dinosaur platformer. I basically smashed my spacebar into oblivion with this darn game 
I also played the space cadet on windows98 like the 9gag post show! 
Yep we had zero internet! We would play this at the school computer labs when the teacher wasn't looking, most boomer adults were just as tech-illiterate was we were with this new PC technology, that the library teacher, whom was also to be the Tech-lab/PC-lab teacher of our schools, didn't know how to fricking uninstall the darn games even to stop us from goofing off, instead of typing our assignments. 
RSA mandated that due to the proliferation of computers in the business world, that by 1999-2000, all schools were to have computer-labs for the kids to learn tech literacy, but obviously only middle-class schools could accomodate this, I was very fortunate.
The very 1st game I played on a private computer, was on my aunts worklaptop, a monster of a machine that was barely portable because those early laptops weighted like bricks.
The magic Schoolbus games!
AND
Come on dramatards, show me ur nostalgia !

It was so bad they actually ended up memoryholing it and made a different 4th grade one instead that wasn't spooky

Which one fricked you up the most, I think for me it was the labyrinth after your candle goes out. Either that or getting jumpscared randomly by the peepeehead ghost and sent to the shadow realm. Horrifying either way

There's this Hugo game that kids can play on the phone. And no, not mobile phone, I'm talking about this pile of brick.
Parents register with a TV channel, and kids play this while the dial is on.
I never played that, but I remember beating a bunch of hugo game on the crappy school PC.

Phone-TV games. That was a bizarre and clunky invention. With how terrible the delay allegedly was, I'm surprised how good some people fared playing them. Hugo was the biggest one, but I remember one where you defend Earth from attacks from space. No idea what it was called.

I played my an Atari 2600 with my Dad when I was very young. Asteroids was pretty fun.
But the first game that was "my own" was Capone on the Amiga 500, my family's first desktop computer.

My first game was technically Myst. My mom loves that game and one time she played it with five year old me on her lap. She'd let me slap around at the keyboard and giggle when the viewpoints changed but I never did solve anything lmao
I mention this because the first game I was actually trying to win were various Roblox games and that's not specific at all lol
