Personally, I'd have to say on the Apple IIe, playing Sun Tzu's Ancient Art of War. I had absolutely no clue what I was doing, but I did realize moving around little pixel dudes on a map to shoot and stab other little pixel dudes was a massively fascinating exercise and that I wanted more. Games, not exercise.

Circa 1983-1984. I lost the 1st game vs my dad and he left for work. I played the whole day, I think my first day to spend in front of the tv ever. It was so much fun... That day made me a gaming addict, before that gaming was just "ok" to me, with pong and stuff like that, but never could entertain me more than a couple minutes.
That game had everything, multiple maps, pickups, COLORS (yeah graphics were the most important factor to gaming noobs even back than), multiplayer and AI opponents. You could even choose your car from the 4 which were available (they only had different COLORs though, but really, RED was soo >> BLUE.)
I didn't care if it took like 20-30 minutes to load the tape before you could actually play(I wonder how much space there was on these, I'd guess ~100KB). I had all the patience in the world, now I get angry at games because they force me to watch through a 5 second logo each time I launch them, because they are stealing MINUTES of my precious life time if I play them for months.
I decided for myself to never try to play that game in an emulator though, because it would totally destroy the memory.
That gameplay was recycled over and over again, but I don't even know if this was the first game of that kind. I'd guess because it's really ancient.
