I would have to say SOnic 2.
Super Mario Bros. had me hooked for life.
Ninja Gaiden 2 and Castlevania 3, the first games that prompted me to buy a game magazine or spend money on a video game. Before this I was content to rent games and learn about them from the back of the box. *-neo
First time I got to play Sonic 2.
berzerk started me, zelda finished me.
Super Mario Bros, which was the first NES game I had the chance to play. I'd enjoyed playing games on the Atari 2600, Colecovision and Commodore 64 as a kid, but it wasn't until I started playing games on the NES that I became addicted to gaming.
It was 1968, I was deep in the jungles of West Afirca rooting in some thick decaying underbrush for the rare Centipede Scolopendra cocinucous for study. The ground was moist and the aroma of decaying wood, fungus and leaves hung steadily in my nostrils. I over turned a promsiseing stone, and availed in finding my quarry. Its hind section lurtched in the air, I took caution not to touch it (it's posion hooked legs would have been terrifically painful). It was then she walked up to me. I had seen her with another troop of biologists crossing the Niger river. A fancy at first, but I always kept my head to my work. Seeing her now made the invigorateing intruige of my hunted specimen disappear, now replaced by a passion of a long forgotten kind. Her amber hair shown beautifully in the canopy-filtered sunlight of a warm June in the Congo. The tree adjacent to her beheld a marvelous Phasmid (a so-called "Walking Stick") of unusal porportions though it held my interests for only a moment. Blue eyes sparkled down to me, briefly narrowing to catch a mosquito which had bit her just above the right knee. It was them, that I knew love.

I'd have to say Metroid. It was the first game that I played where I really felt like I was a part of the game. Crazy...especially considering I haven't cared enough to beat any Metroid game since.
I would have to say that Dig-Dug on the Atari 2600 was the major culprit. I have been hooked on games ever since I played that. My friends would come over and ask me to come play outside. I would say "Fuck you guys. Can't you see I am playing Dig-Dug?!"
Parents bought me a Master System in '87 and I played Astro Warrior/Hang-On and I never looked back.
