Weekend Open Forum: What's the first video game you ever played, and on what platform?

Solaris on the Atari 2600. At 8 years old it was literally outerspace.

Uncertain which game that was the first, but it was on a Commodore 64.

It was Test Drive on c-64

pit-fall on Atari 2600. then i graduated to N64 after that caught on fire. first computer game was doom on a library computer in school

Duke Nukem on PSX =)

King's Quest I on a Zenith PC

Gyromite or Duck Hunt for NES

cant remember which i played first

First console game played: Beserk for Atari 2600 (first corridor shooter ever made)

First handheld game played: Wrestlemania Tiger games handheld (really early 90's or late 80's)

First arcade game ever played: either Galaga, Ghosts n Goblins, or Rolling Thunder (around 1984 I believe)

First PC game ever played: Blakestone (early 90's)

First owned console game played: Warhawk for PSX (wasn't allowed to own a console until I was like 15)

First owned handheld game played: Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle for Gameboy (the original pea-green screen white brick) (early 90's)

First owned PC game played: Sub-Space ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubSpace_%28video_game%29 ) What a fun game this one was, wonder if the Euro servers are still up for this game? (1998 when I owned my first PC)

I will always remember Dragon's Lair in the arcade... Don't think it was my first, but a favorite from childhood.

Fire ant on the commodore +4

Ironically when i first played Space invaders on an Atari back in the late 80s I actually hated it. Then a few years later I got hooked on to the original Prince on the PC and never looked back since then.

Pong, on an original standalone machine in a mall arcade.

Hero's quest (later became Quest for Glory) , Intel 286
Man that game was tricky.
You had to enter commands to the guy on the screen by typing. Like:
"take wallet"
haha

bru my mom used to spend her life playing Gold runner and Mappy (the original nintendo)

I used to spend my life (after the [police, space, heroes] Quest series) playing Baldurs Gate, Dungeon Keeper and Halflife against my brothers.

Snake, on a micro running CP/M
Closely followed by Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards

Formula 1 Racing or something (can't remember the name now) on PC. good old dos

Manic Miner

Lets see you lot top that

First game was the "Star Trek" game on an Intel development system running either ISIS or CPM (it could boot to either - I don't recall which one Star Trek was on). Next was the 550 point Adventure game followed by LADDERS, the best computer game ever (played on a 9600 baud serial terminal to a CPM computer). You can get a java based LADDERS game today and play it on your PC, it's very close to the original.

my first PC had like nibbles gorilla on QBASIC... IBM Cat, F1, OperationWolf, PreHistoric....
good old games... wolfenstein3D.. loadrunner.. rick dangerous... chaos engine...
