In theory, Super Mario Bros. on the NES, because that's the first game I really played by myself. But I'm not sure it really is, because at that time video games were just a thing you did, like watching TV. So I never considered myself a gamer as such, just someone who would casually drop in on games here and there. I was never involved in them, I'd just play for a bit, then go and do something else.
Fast forward to a few years ago, and my wife (who plays a lot of games) suggested I play To The Moon, and that got me hooked. A video game that made me cry - amazing.
Since then I've played more games, looking for ones with a great story. Played RDR2 last year, and nothing has come close to it since.
