Console game was Mario Bros 1.. in 1986 Although my Deluxe NES also came with Duck Hunt and Lightgun and ROBB the robot. Infact i still have it in the loft somewhere.

PC was Repton in 1988.. BBC Micro.

Monkey Island 2 - Le'Chucks Revenge - possibly the greatest game ever created. ever. ever. ever.

 

[Paradiso]

Some asteroids game on the Vectrex. Shortly followed by Flight Simulation on the ZX81 then Parsec on the Texas TI99/4A, all in the same year I think.

 

[pmbuzz]

3D Monster Maze on the ZX81

When games were good and men were real..........
yea right !!

 

[TheMightyTen]

Othello on the ZX81, I had to enter the code myself from a magazine about 1982 I think

 

[TheMightyTen]

Other than some crappy old games on my dads C64...

What's crappy about the C64 some of the finest games ever created were created on theat machine

 

[Dsteviedee]

Asteriods on Atari VCS. On home computer Parsec on ti99/4a.PC DOOM. oh i forgot about tennis on a grandstand thing (sposerred by Kevin Keegan!)

 

[Gaman]

Probably Space Invaders on the Atari from what I can recall... it all seems a very long time ago!

Although the first game I ever bought was Elite for my Spectrum 128k

First ever PC game was SWOTL on a P333DX (?) with a 40MB HD, some very very happy memories spent dogfithting over France etc

 

[nands]

Pedro on the Dragon 32.

The sole object of the game was to keep ants out of your garden by stamping on them! Fun huh?

A very poor asteroids clone call 'Meteoroids' on the Speccy back in 83. Second one I played was 'Timegate' by Quicksilva also on the speccy.
Those 3D graphics just blew me away.

 

[Snograt]

some pong clone on a Grandstand console circa 1978

Yup.

 

[Steve09]

On PC, it was Actua Soccer 2 on our first computer which was a Windows 98 machine.

Only memory i have from games that he had, was there was a Dancing elephant on one... and the other was a plane game, and he never worked out how to get it out of the hanger lol

Used to play games on a machine that used tape players, was good fun rewinding it to the right time to play, can't really remember the games, think they were mostly crap. First one I remember was this random train related game (on a floppy though) that had 3 towns on each side you had to connect with railways and trains loved to crash. Awesome game.

 

[Mortster]

Aztec Challenge or it could have been Jet Set Willy on the C64

Great days !

Aren't we just spoilt by games these days though ? I mean look at Star Wars Force Unleashed, it's got mixed reviews, but just imagine going back to the 80s in a time machine and taking a game like that with you !

We are all just far too spoilt these days !

Pong

I don't know the name of the system but it had two control sticks with a turning knob at the top.

if thats the same as what i played its the Binatone, first ever games machine i think! i still have it in its box, sadly the gun was lost for duck hunt, which was the first game i ever played.
