Ever played on the original console? Or do computerized versions/ remakes count?

Either way, original Donkey Kong.

Pong is not Nintendo Dave.
It was on an Atari system.

Of course, the NES game I spent the most time on would be the Legend of Zelda.

Pong was the Origin of all VGs. It counts.

Wasn't and doesn't.

The very first game was an electronic version of tennis. Only one machine was ever made, and people lined up for hours to play it.
You actually hit the ball over the net (represented by a small line in the middle) and had different gravity settings.

Then, there was the Space Wars game, wherein two ships with limited ammo would duke it out in a field where objects like suns and black holes would affect the gravitational trajectory of both ships and bullets.
However, marketers believed that this was too complicated for drunks to play (as the original game machines were primarily for bars and pubs, since arcades weren't around then) and so it was simplified to Pong.

And Nintendo didn't make it, so no, it does not count.

Although at the time, Nintendo was synonymous with Video games. It is the oldest game I ever played. The first NES game I played was Final Fantasy. IU have a box of NES games and I played them all as a kid, so I wouldn't be able to tell you the exact first. Therefor I'll just say the most evident of them.

Dave, Pong was made before Nintendo even got into the gaming market.
Until then they had just made cards and toys.

And Carl, that was all of the top of my head.
Best. Essay.
Ever.
