Probably some computer games, but the first console game I remember actively trying to beat was Spyro on PS1. I finally got to replay and finish it when the Reignited Trilogy came out.

star wars shadows of the empire, not the easiest game for me at 19, let alone me at 3
Well, I got three games at the same time in 89 with my Famiclone: Gradius II, Ducktales and Yie Ar Kung-Fu. I was 3y.o. at the time and I don't remember which one I tried first, but I'm tempted to say it was Yie Ar Kung-Fu
Ready for a blast from the past?
The first computer game I really remember playing was a demo disc for Jazz Jackrabbit on a floppy disc. It was a platforming shooter with a green rabbit. I got good enough to beat the entire demo we had and didn't ask to get the rest because my mom didn't like me playing it. I must have been around five or six at the time. Maybe seven?
Of course, this is when my Mom gave in and started getting me educational computer games to play.
But, according to my Dad, he programmed me a game that was a black screen and a blinking dot. When the dot was highlighted, you pressed a button and the light moved. That was the only thing it did and he said that I would play it for hours on his lap. I don't know how true that is, but my Mom says that he is telling the truth. My memories don't go back that far.

It was one of those Harry Potter games on the PS1. All I really remember from that game is the beginning part where you had to throw something at targets and eventually getting stuck in a maze on fire.

Zelda Ocarina of Time on my Nintendo 64. I was like 4 years old and was too scared to actually play the game though because the re-deads coming out of the ground at night made me cry, so... yeah. I did end up playing it years later though
Pretty sure my first video game was a Kirby game

Crash Bandicoot. Still mad with the remaster because of the freaking hitboxes
Ahhh so tough to remember! I remember my first console being the game cube when I was 6 for christmas? And playing super mario sunshine on that.
But I also used to have a sega mega drive before that, so my first game would've been the only game I remember playing on that: Sonic the hedgehog ^^

The Lion King, for the Sega Genesis. That game... was the hardest game in existence.
IDK if any of ya'll played it, but omg that was a kid's game?
I wish I still had it though, I spent most of my childhood playing that game.
Another honorable mention- the game that really kind of shaped me into the gamer I am- was Paper Mario for the 64.
Oof that game... *Chef's kiss* Masterpiece imo.

One Christmas I got in trouble so I couldn’t play my brand new N64 or Ocarina of Time for a month! Can’t even remember what I got in trouble for because all I could think of was playing that game. When I finally did, it was officially the first (and best!) game I ever played.
