Come to think of it, my first online multiplayer was MK2 with Xband.

LUDICROUS GIBBS!!!
Ha, I don't remember that game for shit, we played for a few months or so and went right back to playing the Saturn and PSX...Haven't really played many PC games since that era...No good fighting games on the PC was a big drawback for us.
I don't think my buds and I ever played it past the shareware levels, despite a few of us buying the full version. It was all about fucking around, using the ridiculous cheat codes, and WANTON AND GRATUITOUS VIOLENCE (so said the warning on the back of the package.)
JRPG?
Miracle Warriors. Had a friend with a SMS and about 30 games back then, we would swap systems every so often. Miracle Warriors and Phantasy Star were among the bundle of games he owned. I distinctly remember play it Miracle Warriors before Dragon Warrior was released and the similarities between the two is what sparked my interest in that game.
Racing game?
Pole Position
Computer game?
Oregon Trail. I remember my elemental school had a computer lab (it just occurred to me how ridiculous a computer lab in elementary school is) with Apple II's we got to play around with every few weeks.
Console game?
Either Combat or Demon Attack on the 2600.
FPS?
Doom.
Point n' click Adventure game?
Dark Earth
Online multiplayer game?
Probably Unreal Tournament
After I finished Phantasy Star, I was positively dying for another RPG, and on the SMS, that pretty much meant Miracle Warriors. It was definitely no Phantasy Star, but I still got sucked into it and beat the whole thing. Finding that last dungeon was a crazy obtuse puzzle. I don't know how I figured it out.
My experience is similar to Rumpy's.
FPS: Wolfenstein 3D. Used to play this at a buddy's, because we didn't have a computer at the time and I wouldn't have been allowed to own it even if we did. I remember firing games up in DOS back then and not being able to right-click in Windows yet.
PC: Oregon Trail at school, back when they used to use 5 1/4" floppies.
Point & click: It was either Myst or one of the Space Quests.
Multi-player: Either StarCraft (Brood War) or Rogue Spear, I don't remember which.
Console game: It was something on the 2600 (also my first console). Might've been Frogger, Asteroids or Moon Patrol. Could've been E.T., which is the first game that I played to completion.
JRPG: Lunar, The Silver Star.
Shooter: Games like Galaga and Asteroids were my first, but I didn't start to love the genre until Giga Wing 2 and Mars Matrix.
Racing game: Pole Position.
Fighting game: Mortal Kombat. I (foolishly) ignored SFII at the time, because I was seduced by MK's realistic violence.
Platformer: Probably Jungle Hunt, but I prefer to give the honor to Super Mario Bros.
Adventure game: Zelda II, TAoL. This is easily my favorite genre.
Arcade game: Table top Pac-Man at a local pizza joint. Might've been Mrs. Pac-Man.
Someone mentioned The Longest Journey. That's one that I started to play waaay back when it came out, but never finished. I've been meaning to grab it from GOG and knock it off of my Pile.
JRPG? Don't remember
Racing game? Turbo
Computer game? I played Gyruss on a C64
Console game? Pac-Man on Atari
FPS? Wolf 3D
Point n' click Adventure game? The fist I remember was Maniac Mansion
Online multiplayer game? Duke Nukem 3D
