Not specifically programming, but I firmly believe that playing Roller Coaster Tycoon as a kid dramatically helped spur my interest in STEM and learning in general.

It was my first introduction to: physics, accounting and finance, data visualizations, and more.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 holds up remarkably well today, either natively or via OpenRCT2. Highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
