I'm going to stick with the first games I played when I actually owned the console for myself. There were a few (NES, N64 and the Master System) that I would have played games on at a friends house first.
In order of the consoles/computers I (or my father) picked up:
Atari ST - Goldrunner
Master System - World Grand Prix (This was built into my system which rather annoyed me as my friend had Alex Kidd built in, which I technically played first.)
Gameboy - Tetris
Gamegear - Either Marble Madness or Columns.
Home PC - Solitaire on Windows 3.1 (boring I know, but it technically was the first)
Megadrive - Sonic the Hedgehog (32X - Doom)
Atari Lynx - Chips Challenge
Super Nintendo - Super Mario World
Sony Playstation - Duke Nukem 3D (Ridge Racer was first on a demo unit though)
Nintendo 64 - Super Mario 64
Dreamcast - Soul Calibur
Gameboy Advance - Rayman
Playstation 2 - Timesplitters
Xbox - Either Halo or Splinter Cell, I think it was Halo I put in first
Gamecube - Star Wars Rogue Squadron II
NES - Super Mario Bros
Sega Saturn - Sonic Jam
Nintendo DS - Mario 64 DS
Playstation Portable - Either Wipeout or MGS: Acid (I ordered a Japanese and an NA unit somewhere around their respective launches. Hazy on what game I technically played first, the one took ages to arrive)
Xbox 360 - Condemned
Playstation 3 - Assassins Creed
Nintendo Wii - Either Wii Sports or Twilight Princess
Nintendo 3DS - Monkey Ball 3D (Might have put Samurai Warriors: Chronicles in first though)
Playstation Vita - Uncharted Golden Abyss
Nintendo Wii U - Rayman Legends
Playstation 4 - Battlefield 4 (Might have tested Knack first)
Xbox One - Rise of the Tomb Raider
Nintendo Switch - Zelda: Breath of the WildI picked up quite a lot of consoles and computers to bolster my collection around the late 2000's and early 2010's (Vectrex, Neo Geo, Commodore 64 etc) but I won't go into those.

@neocweeny I don't remember that. Maybe I'm just remembering wrong. You can tell my memory isn't the best from all the (probably)s. Least that's the one that I remember sinking into first.
All you need to do to be able to play Star Fox 2 is to load up the original Starwing, or Star Fox as it was known in US and Japanese markets. You then have to playthrough and beat the first level of the game.
That must've been what I did. Just the first level.
