First videogame you ever played

my first ever game was Mario World, I had to have a minor surgery (outpatient, nothing too serious) when I was about 4 or 5, and the doctor took me to a room with a SNES for an hour or so so I could play something while I was being observed to make sure I was okay afterwards.

For context I played various atari and PC games before I ever knew that an NES existed or been exposed to that at all. It probably was an era specific game and it would be really hard to actually enjoy now but back in the day there wasn't much else to play so it was the greatest thing ever then.

How do you feel about space invaders vs. galaga?

I tried both around the same time (1996 or so) when we got a collection of old arcade games - PC edition - and Space Invaders always felt like the inferior cousin of Galaga to me, I'm curious if you felt the opposite.
