[Munky1080]

Lemonade Stand for my Apple IIe back in 1984!

 

[cpatain-chaos]

first games would be one of those grandstand tv game unit thing's, but most memorable ones are :

defender - vcs, I hit over 5,000,000 in one session when my mate kindly pulled the plug on it. I snotted him senseless back then but looking back can't say I blame him poor sod sat watching me for hours.

max payne - first pc game played what a cracking intro to pc gaming

super mario world - first serious console game, serious as in had me completely hooked until clearing it all

Advent - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colossal_Cave
on a PDP-11 via acoustic coupler hooked up to a line printer.

First graphical game was Adventure on the Atari 8600. Got it along with Combat and Space Invaders but fired that up first.

Space Invaders on a BBC computer with a tape deck...

 

[KevMarks]

+1

On a black and white telly

+1 except I had colour! Mine didn't even take cartridges it had a switch to switch between about 8 games. Target practice was good it came with a light gun!

 

[point decay]

impossible mission for the c64

"another visitor, stay awile, stay foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr", loved that game..

My first game was Munchkin (i think it was called) on the Philips G7000 ( also known as the Magnovox odyssey 2 outside europe).

This must have been around 1979/1980

Now i feel ancient

It was either some random F1 driving game on the NES round my uncles when I was 2 (which I melted, from playing it for too long apparently! ) or super mario bros on the NES.

1st game I owned was Sonic 1 on the megadrive when I was 3

 

[jennidc]

1st game

48k Spectrum with Manic Miner (still not completed - I can get to level 19 of 20 with no cheats), Orbiter (defender clone) and Hungry Horace

 

[Sweetloaf]

some pong clone on a Grandstand console circa 1978

Yep that, along with a game where you had to jump a motorbike over some buses.

 

[FrankJH]

First game I played was Pong / Asteroids on an Atari (2000?)

Manic Miner/Jet Pack on a specky 16k (I had a zx81 but dont remember any games from it)

my first pc game was Duel II I think with a Porsche 959 vs Ferrari of some kind

Edit -

That was the Atari we had

 

[Zefan]

Team Fortress 2.

 

[adsmithy]

must have been Paradroid on the C64

 

[jgreen726]

Time tunnel on the Spectrum

 

[ojste]

i have no idea it will have been something on the amiga... my earliest memory was r-type i think but im sure ive played other games on it before that.

 

[mr griffin]

Pacman on the old Atari 2600 system, would play that game for hours and hours lol..... oh and some free game that came with it where you were tanks in one game or planes in the other.

[Subterranean]

[Streeteh]

Gawd, dare devil Dennis or something along those lines, i know my first computer was a BBC

 

[Echo]

Was at a mate's house, but details are vague - anyone remember a Toshiba home computer (possibly MSX) from around 84 ?

Was a turn based survival game with some relation to predators/prey. Google isn't much use, it's just too obscure.
