Vic Invaders (cartridge) on the Vic 20. It was a simple space invaders-type game.

First computer game was on the Dragon 32 and I've no idea what it was called.

It was a motor racing game, the track was a very basic top down view and you had 2 dots for the cars that were controlled by joysticks that were so crap they were made out of cardboard, well that's how I remember them anyway. I remember enjoying it.

Probably Pong on the Atari or Thriller on the C64 :cool:

The answers in this thread give a good approximation as to peoples ages

GRAND PRIX, Salamander software.?

The official dragon controls were fairly naff, you wanted the 3rd party knock off with the micro switch, and spring centre stick, or a voltmase.

Good to see I wasn't the only poor soul with a dragon though/

Probably the original Tetris on the Game Boy.

Harrier Attack or Roland On The Ropes

Makes Flappy Bird look like a walk in the park.

Some Chess game on the ZX81 followed by Flight Zero One Five on the Vic 20 .. heady days.

Minstadave · 30 Jun 2015 at 01:59

Battlechess, LHX attack chopper and strangely Leisure Suit Larry (remember guessing all the questions over and over again to get past the age check).

RoosterC · 30 Jun 2015 at 06:14

Combat on the Atari VCS and Adventureland on the Vic20.

FinglisHobbit · 30 Jun 2015 at 09:07

First video game belonging purely to me (not my dads C64 games) was Mario/Duck hunt cartridge with my NES.

Then first PC game was Half Life which my mam bought me with my first PC from big PC store.

Amazing start to PC gaming for me
