I was raised on the Atari 2600. Probably got it in 1980. Played it as a kid religiously until the Nintendo 64 in like '85 or '86.
A a far as actual standing arcade games go, my faves in the 80s were Jungle King (I was pretty good at it!) and the game where you did karate and you could get "full point!" for roundhouse kicks or something like that. I forget the name!
There was also an arcade sit-down tabletop game for baseball, and one for tennis that I enjoyed.
Never had by own Sega, but in the early 90s I was hooked on my friend's golf game...I think it was PGA Tour?
Techmo Bowl was one of my faves in the early to mid 90s'. We had tournaments.
Before that I liked RBI baseball.
I stopped playing true video games when a friend introduced me to Micro League Baseball. I thought Micro League was the greatest invention of all time. Used the game disk, GM disk (I think), and the all important stats compiler disk. We would have 162 game seasons. I was in heaven! Certain players always played better for some reason. Rance Mulliniks was great every year!
The reason why I haven't played a video game in almost 25 years is because I would never leave my home; I'd get addicted, so I don't even bother to start playing then. Never played Madden or anything. If I still played video games, I'd be one of those 850-pound guys that you see on the news who needed the fire department to break down my walls to get me out of the house!
