Not counting a few simple levels made for Duke 3D and Quake, my first game was as a student in Full Sail, in 2003, basically opposite of Defender. Your goal was to zoom around and abduct humans while tanks on the ground shot at you. You had to stay still for your tractor beam to work, and you could also fire lasers straight down. You got 3 lives and, I think, 500 points per human abducted, and 100 points per tank destroyed.
