what was the very first game you played?

[archer_dan]

my first game was probably Repton/Frenzy on the BBC, my memory of that far back is a bit sketchy though. As for on a PC, it would be either One Must Fall 2097 or Megarace in DOS, i remember playing those at roughly the same time.

Well thinking about it pretty sure I played this or tetris before commander keen :

I've played a simular game to that called "Night Raid" possibly a remake. My first game that I can remember was Commander Keen 1. Then Dark Ages...

for a pc, possibly theme park. Remember having to mess around for ages trying to free up about 2K of EMS memory to get it to work.

Overall Pong I believe on the Atari 2600.

Pong on an Atari console my dad bought, I think I was 5 or 6.

Think for me it would have to be Microsoft Flight Sim 3.0 and some golf game. Though can't remember when I got me BBC Micro with paperboy and a tonne of other stuff.
