The first game I ever played was something to do with nursery rhymes on the BBC Micro.

My first gaming purchase was Baldur's Gate :cool:

One of the ones on the "Combat" cartridge that came with the Atari 2600.

Its either the Atari 2600 for me too, or something my dad had typed into a BBC Micro from a magazine. Hard to remember as far back as 4/5 years old.

Some classic PC games getting a nod here. In my view Transport Tycoon and Baldur's are still two of the greatest games available in their genre.

The first video game I ever got to play was Sonic 1 for the Sega Megadrive, this was around a friend's house. The first game I ever owned, however, was Kangaroo for the Atari 2600. :rolleyes:

Luckily as a small child, my nagging powers were enough to secure me a Sega Megadrive mk I system which I loved.

Either half life or silent hill i think

I'm sure the first PC game most people played was Solitaire (or Minesweeper)...

That aside, I'm pretty much certain the first PC game I played was Wing Commander 3 (main reason I upgraded from Amiga to PC at the time). It struggled to run on my first machine - which was a rented (!) DX50 from Radio Rentals - even after paying £150 for an extra 4Mb RAM stick...

Duck Hunt, with the big bazooka accessory.

Team fortress classic and half life.

The first game I played was on a DOS pc, and you were basically a gorilla, and you had to throw a banana at another gorilla by specifying the angle and velocity. And it made things interesting by having different types of scenery and wind and stuff. I think you can guess by this point that I can't remember the name Awesome game though.

I definately remember playing this - also can't remember the name though it would have been either on my spectrum or amiga. First pc game for me was Doom

First PC Games were Dune II and Ultima Underworld. I bought them before I bought my first PC, I think i bought about 6 games in total before I actualy got my PC.

First owned computer game would have been something like Planet of Death and Inca curse on the Speccy, great text adventures. Then there was Mad Martha

great fun.
