My first game was Life. I didn't like it but after being explained i've been hacked, i can't get rid of it. That SUCKS. Now i have to deal with it until the end of the simulation and the central server that has been hacked only allocate resources on premium profiles. Thus, the city is most of the time empty and when they're not dangerous, NPC are f***ing stupid and look scripted like an old 8-bits game : "sorry about that", "i was like...", "interesting", "Oh my god"... #iWantMyMoneyBack #DedSec

My very first computer game was a Paratrooper on DOS. It was actually interesting experience as I saw this game at 1992 and only in couple of months I saw such games as Gran Prix Circuit, Into the Eagle's Nest, F-15 Strike Eagle 2, and, finally, Wolfenstein 3D. It was gradual upgrade in visuals and gameplay from pretty simple to really complex and engaging.

[@Djuro92]

I think that the first video game I played was Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit. This was back in 1998 on a Pentium II PC. We truly have come a long way :)

Incredible Wizard, which was a port of the arcade game Wizard of Wor, on the Bally Astrocade. My dad bought an Astrocade in 1978 when I was born, and it was the system I grew up playing until we got an Apple IIc in 1984. Then in ‘87 I got an NES and the rest is history. Video games have been an integral part of my life, and now I have a 7 year old son who loves them as well. Great video!

First game? Pong. My parents had one of those clones from back in the day. Also had a lightgun game, with a pretty realistic-looking gun. All you did, was shoot at a moving square Yep, I'm getting old lol.

[@LancePickup]

I don't remember exactly what my first video game was, but it was one of these three:
1) Space Wars -- which is the real commercial follow-on to Spacewar. Asteroids didn't come until later.
2) Lunar Lander
3) X's and O's football -- not sure if that's it's official title, but it was played on a table-top display with two track balls with two players against each other, playing football. The offense was the O's and defense was the X's. Basically you would either run with the ball or press a button to pass. The computer would control most of the other players, but each player would be controlling one player. You would seriously pinch your fingers in the track ball every few minutes on this game.

Pong, but not Atari's. It was another one, not technically a console. The player one controller was the console and it had a four position selector swicth to switch between 4 different games ( Pong, Hockey, something else I can't remember, and Skeet shooting with the optional gun attachment. )
Fun part was the gun still worked even if you had another game like pong selected.
If the gun was still plugged in while two people where playing pong a third person could puck up the gun and shoot the ball off the screen annoying the other two players.
Lots of fun. lol

[@akisey1]

As usual, Coldfusion never dissapoints when meking videos. Top notch! My first console was a GameGear with Columns bundled. With the cost of videos games back then I had to play this game for months before getting another game. Being a kid with no money to spend felt horrible at the time :-)

Funny enough, I don't recall the first game I ever played but it was on the Atari 2600. I was born in 1973, and I still own my old Atari, and about 50 games.
A few things Dagogo missed out on which isn't s big deal, but Comodore 64 was in that era. Only reason why I brought it up, it was a gaming machine with a keyboard. But when it comes down to having a solid, and functional platform, everybody needs to thank Atari. It was Atari that had many games available.
As I look back when I purchased Defender from my local Sears store, as I recall it cost me $50... Modern games for one of the current platforms is about $60. So, all in all, the price of games hasn't changed all that much.
I miss my childhood. Back then, things were so much simpler. Does technology help us today? Yes, but in a over - complicated way.
Great work Dagogo!

[@mrmurder75]

Chuckie egg was on tape and took about 40mins to load. You would get 35 mins in to loading and the tape deck would stop working for no reason. So frustrating lol. With defender, just plug the cartridge into the top of the computer and 1 minute later you could play.

my first videogame was Super Mario Bros ofcourse

[@Etaukan]

The first arcade-style, stand-up cabinet game I ever played WAS Space War.
I recognized those graphics instantly; the one I played in the mid 70's had cleaner lines than the example shown here, but all the elements were the same: two vaguely Star Trekish ships, the gravity point/star in the center, and ultra simple game play.
I loved it.
The first home game I ever saw was my cousin's, a frankenstein sort of thing that was a three-sided pyramid roughly the size of a small microwave oven. Each side had dedicated controls for a specific game--there was a steering wheel and gear shift for a driving game, a pair of knobs for something very much like Pong, and a pistol that was connected via a cord, with a slot where you 'holstered' it, for a shooter thing where you'd kill bad guys on the screen. I can't remember the name of this monstrosity, but I barely remember it being played at all, as everyone got bored with those three games pretty quickly.
That same cousin was also the first of my acquaintances to get an Atari console, and that was immensely more fun, though we broke a lot of joystick controllers, because of the cheap plastic parts.

First game I ever played was actually a networked thing called Hamurabi on my high school's dumb terminal. It was a text based adventure game where you managed an ancient Egyptian city through a handful of variables in a yearly cycle. It kicked us off creating a whole bunch of games ourselves.

[@GaryBeilby]

This was about 1981

[@mrmurder75]

I had a text based game on my Atari 800xl. It was surprisingly immersive. You had to actually use your imagination rather than all the scenarios played out on a screen for you. Was seriously difficult though. Of course, the computer/game would only recognise commands phrased a certain way so I don't think I ever got more than half way through it. Not for lack of trying though!

Pong was the first game I played and the Magnavox Oddessy was my first console. I bought it for $25 at a garage sale in 1974. My oldest console now is a working Atari 2600.
