Mine was probably Digimon World (PS1). I remember that my family shared a save, and boy howdy anytime my turn landed on the in-training digimon we'd be screwed, because I trained them so shoddily we'd get the sentient puke monster.
But my first game I played with any sort of competence was Herdy Gerdy (PS2), a cute puzzle game where you'd herd made-up animals with instruments and stuff. I 100%ed it as a kid, but it really does still hold up!
Tell me, Burggit people, what were your first games? ๐บ
oh the nostalgia
