Name your first favorite

Tough trying to remember the FIRST favorite.
Talking arcade games, my guess is that it was either Ms Pac-Man or 1942.
Both games that I recall spending lots of time playing in my youth, but heck if i can remember which of the 2 would have been first.
My first video game loves would have been Pitfall & Kaboom on the Atari 2600.

When my wife went to sleep each night, I would go down to the lobby in my robe and slippers and play for a while. ::)

Heh,
I found a Gyruss in the hotel on the second night of my honeymoon. My wife was less than pleased.
First arcade love = Phoenix cocktail. I put the very first credit on that machine.

No sense letting a thread like this die...
First game I remember getting addicted to is Arkanoid. We were at a skate place or an arcade or something when I stumbled on this game. I just sat and played that game for an hour. Then ever time after that I'd just keep going. Always wanted to see what the next cool level woudl look like.

We had a weird little convenience store a few blocks from my house called "Skankies" when I was younger. They had a Bubble Bobble and a Return of the Jedi arcade in there. Bubble Bobble was my favorite of the 2, but I still played my fair share of RotJ.
Nothing makes me wax nostagic like booting up my mame cab to Bubble Bobble and eating some sour patch kids and swedish fish (Skankies used to sell them for a penny each).

Skankies? Really?
My first favorite is Galaga followed closely by Mario Bros. These were games that I were actually good at and didn't just pump quarters into.
My first favorite Pinball game is Firepower. Awesome Pin. I remember how surprised I was when I saw Multi-ball.
