The first game I played was "Super Dungeon" on the original Apple. (not even an Apple II, then) Your avatar was a single low-res block, about 1/4th inch on a side, which you manuevered through a maze made of other low-res blocks. The exciting part was that there were a total of six different colors available, which greatly enhanced the eye-popping graphics. It actually had a character creation system with different races, classes, and abilities. Of course, no matter what you picked you still looked like a small maroon square...
I think that was right around late 1980 or early '81...
