Just interested

what was the first ever game you played, and just incase we haven't heard of it what was it like??

Mine was Enduro on the Atari 2600 and you had a limited amount of time to overtake as many cars as the number at the top.
wasn't bad

what was yours?

Mine was Lemmings on the Amiga. Load of crap now but in its day it was pritty cool.

The first game that really really made me feel good was mario kart on the snes. Its amazing that its still a great game to play in this day and age with all these high res graphic games.

It was the old Starwars arcade game (the OLD one)... with its vector graphics, and straight line displays, you'd have to do the run down the deathstar (when your mates were with you, you coulkd never pick one of the easier levels!)

Pong fur me...

One Christmas back in the mid-late seventies, my father brought home a table version of pong (a horizontal cabinet) ... Great stuff! :)

I cant remember the first game i played but it was one of the tape based games that took half an hour to load. The oldest game that i remember playing to bits was Bionic Commando for tha Amstrad. That was great.

I don't remember which game I first played, but I remember the first game that I ever saw.

It was River Raid for the Atari 2600.

I was over at a relatives house, my mother's cousins house, and the kids were playing this game.

I was amazed by it, and got an Atari for Xmas that year!

The first game I played was probably on the Commodore64, it was a USGold 6 game compilation pack with Thunderblade, Outrun, Bionic Commando, and three other games...I think I played Outrun first.

Mine was problably a racing game for the ZX81. My dad brought it home unexpectedly and we were amazed. We never we would ever have a computer in the house!

When we finally got the thing running, the game consisted of moving a small white block on a black background left and right. The road was made up of lots more white blocks moving very slowly. Man, that was exhilerating.

The second game we got for it was a space game where you had to dock your ship. This involved moving a small white square through a gap in a ring of small squares. Tedious yes, but still more fun than most of today's games, whose multiple save points make completion an inevitability rather than a challenge.

Finders Keepers for the Zeddy Speccy!

Control a knight in shining armour through wierd things and over this and that, dodging a giant cat and collecting items as you go.

It's a good game!

Suprisingly from my description.

However I haven't played it for over 5 years so I can't remember it too well.
