Civ6. But I have a bad memory so take it with a pinch of salt.
What was your first video game?

I think the word you were looking for is old. Fifty cents bought us a vinyl sheet to lay over the TV screen so we cold use crayons to play the "video game" directly on the screen. It was always a connect the dots type of thing. IIRC some Saturdays we played without the vinyl....Wow you are really, really... ahem... wise
So did you have the special screen attachment or were you one of those naughty children that drew directly on the TV screen?

Pirate Adventure on a Tandy 4k (later beefed up to 8k!) in 1978.
Also "Hunt the Wampus" (?) on a Wang computer (the 1st
personal computer in a government department in Australia)
which had a sequential keyboard instead of Qwerty.

A cute little program called Chain Reaction that I entered into a Tandy 3000 from a magazine. It was written in BASIC. That was a lot of typing. Fun game though.

Some weird ass amiga game called crayons and rainbows that my dad made up to teach kids colors and never could get anyone to buy.
Also the amiga paint program.
Eventually we got a 486, and i got SimCity 2000, which was the first computer game i really fell in love with.

First game I owned, Tetris on Gameboy. First game I ever played, probably some ancient DOS-game. I remember playing Snake regularily
SC2000 was the first PC-game I had. I remember pressing for a SVGA videocard upgrade on my parents' computer so I could play it.

The first game I owned was a NES though I think contra or mario
Now that I think about it, maybe it was contra because I could finnish that game without losing a single life.

I find that incredible... but then again, who knows.

I'm sure there was some random dos pc games, but I can't recall anything specific. The first game I remember playing was nes with mario and duck hunt. I was born in 84 and I think we got one when I was 5, so pretty young, it may very well have been my first video games, though we had a pc around the same time.
I remember we used to jump holding the controllers like mario on the screen cus we thought it made him jump farther. Idk what happened to that nes. Only other game I strongly remember playing on it was zelda. We would rent games like mario 3 and double dragon. Eventually us kids saved up money and bought a sega genesis cus sonic was amazing when it first came out.

We had a Texas Instruments computer, I forget the model number, that had a few games like a space invaders clone plus a few others. The one I loved on that was a turn based party RPG called Tunnels of Doom. Put hours into that game. Those games loaded with cassette tapes, Ah the good old days....
Yeah, my Commodore had one of those drives. It took forever for most games to load.

Play with me.
My brother used to be amazed by my cousins 386 that had a 20mb hard drive. "You could put so many games on that!"
Iirc the original Age of Empires was only 10 mb? (or was that Warcraft1?).
Although it may be that AoE relied on booting from the cd as well back then. Amiga games would require this all the time, and some of them came in more than 10 floppy discs...

I pretty much played it to death as games cartiages were expense and we were relatively poor
Its not that much of an achivement, in terms of skills as the game difficulty isnt that high

Ah i remember the 386/486 vs Amiga wars. I militated in the Amiga side. We lost the war but won the battles!
Not EUIV?
If you and I were early 20s, then maybe.
Lots to do, certainly, but your decisions are usually to start the quest only, complete the quest or ignore it entirely. Quests are not Bethesda's strong point and never have been.
