    James Pond Robo Cod on the Commadore 64! Though I might be wrong and it was something on the Atari! Either way game was quite old!

    Kid Gloves on Amiga - First game I really remember playing to the point where I actually wanted to complete it - http://gamesdbase.com/game/commodore-amiga/kid-gloves.aspx

    Also honorable mention to Zool as I played that a lot too - pretty sure that was Amiga also.

    Dad had a zx spectrum while I was growing up but I couldn't tell you any of the games we had

    Pong on a bright orange Binatone TV Master system. I think it might have been 1978 or 1979.

    First one I remember playing was good old Sonic 1.
    Still remember seeing Genesises on the shelf.

    I think my mom was the first to beat it, though.


    Still have the SAME genesis and 6-pak to this date.


    Oldest game I've played was Snake Rattle and Roll. Never could beat it, though. I killed the NES :(

    The first game I owned was Sega Rally 2

    The first game I bought with my own money was Need for speed Road challenge. Which was one of my favorite games, spent many hours in that game but never completed it. Also the first game which really got me interested in gaming.
