Wow mine was a football mangers game on a old 286 machine. Then the first Geoff crammond go game and the progressed to wing commander. The first competitive one was black hawk down from novalogic sent from HTC Sensation
FIRST EVER COMPUTER GAME I EVER PLAYED! Dude, I've been looking for that for AGES! PS: Has Chip's Challenge been mentioned yet? And the fact that Level Pack 3 was released 2 years ago?
Chucki Egg on this old machine I've no idea what it was, BBC something maybe? acorn? had an owl on it I think, with discs that looked like records. My childhood was basically Prince of Persia (original dos game), Captain Comic (dos), Sonic 1 Shinobi and Dragon (all on the Sega Megadrive). Oh and Aladdin on the megadrive as well, definitely an awesome game
YES! You can still play this now btw, straight from your web browser. Just Google Chuckie Egg and lose yourself to epic nostalgia.
It was actually one of these Acetronic I had all of 4 games for it (each game had also had it's own number on the cart) : 01 - Olympics 04 - Tank / Plane Battle 11 - Supermaze 27 - Invaders (still probably the best version of Invaders I've played)
Difficult to say, my memory is a bit hazy. Probably a breakout clone for the BBC micro, or some other random game -- we had some really weird software on 5 1/4 discs. Also played Karate Combat -- Back when games could be developed by one person in their bedroom
StarTrek on Commodore Pet 3032 Awesome graphics; I believe it beeped sometimes too ... @JPicasso: I loved Combat ! I seem to remember playing it as a cabinet too...
Battleships 1987 on the Amiga. Now I was born in 1987 but this was still my first game (that I can remember) After that came Cannon Fodder and Syndicate and a Sega Mega Drive eventually, then PS1/2 Xbox360 and Now I'm building my own computer for the first time and returning full circle to PC gaming
Space Invaders coin op. I remember it turning up in the NAAFI and there was almost always a queue of squaddies Ignoring coin op, I guess it'd either be some variant of PONG on the Mercury Commander console or the philips G7000 our neighbour had.
First video game on a home computer was called 'invaders' and it was on a UK:101 kit than me and my Uncle built. I am probably over-stating my contribution in the building process though! My first ever video game was probably earlier than that though - probably 'Pong' or 'Boot Hill' in an arcade somewhere around 1978.
Pong. Then some arcade games like space invaders, then Atari console games, then ZX 81 games written in basic, then VIC 20 games on cartridge, then ZX Sprectrum games like Trashman, Attic Attack, Sabre Woof, 3d ant attack, then C64 games, then the amazing Amiga 500 came along and first games were the average demos supplied on floppy dick, then I bought Carrier Command and Interceptor.
Space Invaders at a local arcade, I guess I also had Space Invaders on the Atari 2600 (both of which I still own)
edit: oh yes, just remembered we had Pong on one of those tv controllers - I think it was Colecovision, although I've searched and can't find one like ours... (From memory it was a narrow horizontal 2-player controller with a ridged thumb controlled roller at either end)
