Your first game

klong

What was the first game you played?
Mine, i believe, was Wolfenstein

Rev Hellfire

Mine was drop the rattle, jesús that was a great laugh.

Samson

Wolf3D was mine too (on the PC anyway).
Played on my state of the art 386 16MHz with 2meg of RAM.

Kairo

Whoo boy...me first ever game? As far as I know..it was this old Atari wooden box that had all these sports games, which were all versions of Pong.

But my earliest memories are of playing Manic Miner on the c64.

GreenHell

Prince of Persia on pc

Joyrider on Atari

Can't remember on amstrad.

Those were the days, didn't need fancy thinger majigers back then.

Retr0gamer

Mine was Street fighter 2. I used to go to the airport every weekend with a fiver just to play it.:p

the_corpo

chuckie egg was the first game i ever owned

SheroN

Hungry Horrice on the C64, the joy....the joy.

Cake Fiend

Space Invaders

Man i feel so young! My first game was Super Mario Bros. for the NES. Ahh the memories *sigh*

And my first PC game was Quake i think.

koneko

AFAIK a version of Pong (or something similar) and a Bert and Ernie basic alphabet thing on some Atari POS. Can't even remember if it was an Atari or not, heh.

PiE

Some crappy football managment game on the SpectrumZX.

I loved it

azezil

Space invaders (i think)
or possibly pac man.. i dunno!

Mountjoy Mugger

First PC game - Day of The Tentacle. Just got my first Sound card that day to pop into my 386/25. Ahh - the memories!
First game I ever played was kicking an orange around my play pen - was about 2 at the time.

Balfa

Damn, my first gaming experiences were just like Kyro's... I had this old plug-in-yer-tv box (plastic this time, not wooden , called Telesport, i think, and it had little dial controllers... you could play 4 variants on pong, and it rocked :]

But the first "proper" game i remember playing was Manic Miner (on the spectrum though - i didn't know it ever came out on the C64 before i saw your post)... although i remember little programs like "Count" and "Alphabet Soup" on the ZX81 before that

Dustaz

um pong probably (or space invaders, they both came to ireland at the same time afair.)
and again, manic miner for the spectrum was the first game i owned .

Bard

First video game I ever played was probably Pong... quite some time ago... then there was a Formula One racing game on the old (Irish made!) 48K Oric-1 computer. Then there was the original Star Wars vector based game in the arcade... You got to blow up the death-star! It doesn't get cooler than that! :cool:

First games system I had was The Grandstand SD070 Video Sports Centre System - endorsed by Kevin Keegan!!! - which had 10 games (all of them Pong, really ) on one clunky cartridge. As yer man says on the web page, it was "v.poor by modern standards, but back then it was fab". Still have it (in fairly mint condition) up in the attic somewhere.

First game I played on the PC was some deathtrap dungeon type DOS-based ascii text thingy... y'know the type ... that little red heart ascii character is an evil dragon... you're the white diamond... can't remember it in detail, tbh... Only game on the PC that ever really took over my life for a while was the original QUAKE... natch... and I was helping to run one of Ireland's first net café's at the time

First true pc game was this hover game which came free with my p166.

amp

We had this console thing that only played 3 types of pong. But we loved it.

Dont be at yourself

THe first game I can remember playing was Ladybug on the colecovision. It was basically a PacMan clone (I had never heard of PacMan and when I first seen it I thought that it had ripped off Ladybug) and I loved it to bits. That, along with Donkey Kong and Ventures had a huge impact on my life.

Swifty

Sonic the hedgehog I think, damn I loved that game

My first arcade game: Space Invaders in a pub in 1985 I think.. i dont remember it v.well because i was only a youngfella back then. I also remember playing Mrs Pacman in a pub near bantry but i have no idea when that was

First console game: Pong, fishing (where you sit at the end of a pier and fish.. the computer was really good at it), and Pitfall 1 on our Atari

first PC game: Frogger in 1988 i think at my friends house, then Prince of persia later when he got that. and whatever educational games they had on the Apples in school.

Asok

First game that I played was Centipede on the 2600. I remember being about 6 at the time, and standing in the toys dept. of Dunnes stores (after christmas) watching all the kids fighting over who got to play the demo model next. I felt like the coolest person on the planet coz I had one @ home, all for myself. :cool:

;-phobos-)

DeadBankClerk

first game: space invaders in dads office
first purchase: hard hat mac on c64

Shinji

I have no idea. I remember playing Oh Mummy! on the CPC464 just after unpacking it (it was one of the Amsoft games that came with the machine), and I think that was the first game I played on a system I actually owned. I'm pretty sure I'd played a fair bit of arcadey stuff before that mind, although I'd be hard pushed to say WHAT....

Oh, Duck hunt. I loved that. So basic thinking back, but brilliant really.

Oh, Frogger! The memories! Centipede! It's strange remembering all these games again. Haven't thought about them in years. Centipede rawked.

spooky donkey

the first game i ever played was in a pub in 1979. It was a wallmounted version of breakout with no power ups. I thought it was the best thing i had ever see.

The first game i ever owned was called space lazer fight. I wanted an atari and instead my folks got me this bit 2 player stand alone lcd game. I think it was made by bandi. I had a lot of lcd games after that. till I eventually got a sharp mz-700, who ever heard of them?
