    Mine was Tomb Raider: Revelations on the PC. At the time I was too new to PC gaming to know anything about cheats.

    Mine was Tetris and 1942 :) Then came supermario. Thats was on Nintendo and atari systems. My first PC game has to be starcraft and civilization.

    If we're tossing in PC games I'd have to say probably Kings Quest, Space Quest, MechWarrior, A-10 Tank Killer and Leisure Suit Larry.

    Elite. Way back in the 80's when 64kByte of RAM was enough.

    I played arcade games and games on the Atari, but it was Elite on the BBC micro for me that first really showed that games could be more than simple fare.

    The first game was hangman on my Apple 2 plus. My neighbour worked for IBM as a programmer and taught me basic language and how to program this game.

    I got really hooked on Counter Strike, I remember joining tournaments and such just to play with different players near our area.

    The Intellivision by Mattel. That baseball game, oh that baseball game. We had games going on with the stereo blasting in smoke filled rooms for hours. (a couple times for days) I still have mine stored away. The other one we got a kick out of was a quarter mile drag racing game on the Atari.
