If I remember correctly, Duke Nukem 3D, Warcraft II, and Fallout were my first PC games, and I still play them even today. (With the exception of Warcraft II, since I lost it 7 years ago. :P)
I still remember the name of the first PK who killed me, lol. It wasn't my first MMO (played Underlight before it) but it was the first one I'd played with my friends. To this day it still makes me mad that Everquest came out and completely shifted the MMO genre onto it's currentequipment-centric raiding grindfest. To think where it would be today if it had followed Ultima Online's lead... such a shame :P
Some of my best memories have to come from the original Everquest. Seeing 3-4 goblins bashing on some poor sarnark trying to escape. Also no other game ever made me feel like old EQ when exploring because of the danger. Todays mmo death is just a very minor annoyance.
Warcraft II, I think it was the first game I owned in more than 16 colors (a friend lent me the Warcraft I cd earlier, and you didn't need the cd to play). That was tons of fun, I remember playing over dial-up with a friend of mine on a regular basis.
I have some great memories of Super Mario World and Goof Troop for SNES. Zelda:OoT was amazing almost took me a year for me and my friends to finish. And ofcourse the good times I've had playing competitive CS 1.6 on countless LAN partys (We won every time ofc :P).
RPGs:- Ultima 7 (Blackgate), Betrayal at Krondor, Baldur's Gate series.
Adventure:- Indiana Jones and Atlantis, Prisoner of Ice, Police Quest I, Quest for Glory IV, Monkey Island 2
Strategy: (too many to count)- Civilization I, Masters of Orion I & II, Masters of Magic, Dune, Dune II, Stronghold (D&D), Colonization, MAX, UFO Enemy Unknown, XCom-series, Warcraft I and II, Ascendency, Settlers I & II.
I don't play much FPS but the first Doom was quite fun.

Bitter? :)
I'm gonna have to go with the original Age of Empires, since I have a couple of memories from that game that really stick out. One was a multiplayer match between a friend of mine where we just had a big villager fight. Another was a little custom map where each person got like 20 of the little laser troopers and you have to take out the other players wonder.

Quake 2 DM: Lithium 2.0 was so amazing. The weapons were so perfect, and the power ups gave it that extra burst of excitemeny every once in awhile. No FPS will ever recreate that experience.
For PC, the first 2 Prince of Persia games, the very first Duke Nukem game (AKA: Duke Nukum :roll:), also Doom and Doom 2, those Hugo games (none of them were really good but they were fun to play), Commander Keen was great as well, Starcraft and Diablo were amazing games too.
Dune 2: Battle for Arakis - Very first PC game I ever played, and I would say the very first RTS I played.
Wolfenstein 3D - Ahhh the memories. This would be my introduction into FPS games :P
The Secret of Monkey Island - I can remember my dad and I getting rather frustrated at this game over and over. I do believe this one got me into the whole puzzle solving genre.
The first game Space Invaders for the Commodore 64, and Tank Battle for Atari 2100.
First PC Games: 688 Attack Sub for IBM PC Only late 80's, (specifically 1987 -88),and took up a 5 1/4inch floppy to play.
Second PC Game(s): We had a Apple 2e at home as well so my dad thought it would be great to get me Mathblaster Multiplication & Division, and the original Oregon Trail for the Apple 2e. I think that was in 1988.
