    Oh wow... It must have been ping pong back in the early 80's, on an old atari that is still up un my attic. My most memorable gaming was at the arcade, playing Joust.

    My First game was a wonderful RTS and FPS game in one, i might check on that, any ways, my first game was "Machines Wired For War". And what an Enjoyment that was,

    Only if that game was recreated again, because win7 or vista can not support it anymore :( , But still, it logged my lots of hrs in my youth !!! :)

    Out Run on the Commodore 64 loaded by tape was probably one of the first, but it's difficult to remember :)
    Later on I had a Sega 8-bit system which I played amongst others Alex Kidd in Miracle World on

    Like many others, pong. On a dedicated home console.
  12. Abuse, on PC (Windows 95). Lots of Blood & Gore, and I was only 6! Man, I loved it... played it constantly... would do anything to fire that laser-rifle once more.

    It was either Wolfenstein 3D where I would keep playing until I got motion sickness or Street Fighter II where I would keep playing until I got blisters on my thumbs.
  14. Dig Dug Version PC.

    The first game I ever played was Super Mario Bros. I was 3 years old when I started playing.
  16. I don't know if it counts, but since I was a baby, my older brother had amiga with full plenty of games. Ocasionally I played on it since I was able to.

    Then was an pegasus era (I still don't know, what clone it was), but it was pretty short, and ended when first PC arrived to my home. I think the first computer video game which I played many hours and still remember (and still play from time to time) was Doom 2.

    That's my short story :p

    We had one of the original PONG consoles. It had 2 dials and 2 switches to toggle between tennis and pong (although it was really the same game).

    Not too long after that though my parents gave me an Intellivision gaming console. Sigh. It was one of the best presents I ever received.
