The year was 1983 and my dad brought home a typewriter that plugs into the TV (or ZX Spectrum 32K). Played http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manic_Miner Manic Miner.
On PC as we know it the very first game was also King's Quest, on a splendid 4 color CGA screen nogal.

I'd suggest playing the original instead of the Director's Cut, though. The DC has a bit more content, but it doesn't really contribute all that much to the story and I felt the way it handled narrative made it lose the charm the original had somewhat.

I... don't remember.
There were many and I'm too young to remember anything too specific. I remember monochrome games, a racing game, specifically that had potholes. I hated the bloody potholes.
There was Prince of Persia, of course.
Most loved by me at the time, I think, must have been Titus the Fox.
I remember Golden Axe, Lands of Lore and all the old Maxis Sim games.
But Titus the Fox just held a special place in my heart for some reason. I think it was a combination of the soundtrack, art direction and weird mobs.

Played it back in the day on my dads old BBC Micro. That must have started the addiction as my parents have pictures of me falling asleep at the desk. 20 years later and I am still falling asleep at the desk, except at lans usually

The very first game I played was either Battlestar Galactica on an arcade unit under the escalator at Vincent Park, East London, Asteroids on another arcade machine at the top of the escalator, or Pong on what may have been one of the very firtst consoles [if something of a one-trick pony]
My first ZX Spectrum game would have been "Thro' the Wall on the "Horizons" introductory cassette.
First game on a "proper" console was one of the Alex Kidd games on Sega Master System.
I had my first taste of PC gaming in standard 8 or 9 when I was invited to a class-mate's birthday party and got to try first Centurion and then Wing Commander. I watched the other playing the original, 16 colour Quest of Glory.
