First video game I recall playing was Pong on the Atari 2600....got bored of it really quickly.

First Arcade Cabinet was probably Space Invaders.

First Arcade machine that made me go WOW was the classic Star Wars vector based graphics game. Blew me away as it had speech and Obi Wan talking to you.

First computer game was Ghost Busters on the Commodore C64....loved this game.

I can't remember the console thing I had as I was roughly 6 or 7 but it had pong and tennis etc but all the same but great fun with 2 twisty controllers. I looked at the telstar thing but I don't think it was that.

Looks pretty good fun. The amount of games available on the Spectrum was immense.
