First game was the Precursor to "Pole Position" written by a class mate, then sold for further devolpment into POLE POSITION.

All time favorite - ZELDA of course.

First PC game was called Decathalon for my Apple IIc. It was shit, even for back then. First one I enjoyed was called Elite (space sim). Colecovision was my first console.

As for favorite, I've had several through the years. Went through my Doom, Spear of Destiny and similar games that were great for the time. Moved on to Space sims like Wing commander, X-wing. Right now, no favorites, I enjoy SupCom, BF2142 and just started Crysis, which I really like.

My first game (i think) was commander keen. My current favorite is TF2.

I'd probably still play my old games if my old system didn't crash last year (no re-install CD's - mom threw them all out about 8 years ago when got married/moved out

)

HAL7000 · Nov 19, 2007

My first game wasn't on any gaming console or computer, it was a board game....chess
But the first game that really turned me into a game junkie was "Fade To Black".

Morgoth · Nov 19, 2007

WhiteLotus · Nov 19, 2007

i think my favourite game ever is still Descent

jaxxxon · Nov 19, 2007

erocker · Nov 19, 2007

For any game I owned the furthest back I can remember is Zork for the VIC-20. There were a couple text-rpg's for the P.E.T. if I remember correctly.

AsRock · Nov 19, 2007

ZX81 Chess Favorite games Gunship \ Longbow syndicate ( Spectrum \ Sinclair \ PC ).

BUT very 1st was hand controllers that took a load of batteries and pluged into the TV and only hand one game on it which was tennis like.

PONG!!, thats what they called it I think! (maybe table tennis). :toast:

erocker · Nov 19, 2007

I had Pong! I must not forget my first gaming console! :rockout:

sneekypeet · Nov 19, 2007

first game ever played on a PC was Moonpatrol on a Commadore 64...had to do line entry to get the game installed, and save it to a cassette tape when I was done...lol

t_ski · Nov 19, 2007

I had an Atari 2600 and the first game was Pong.

My first PC (an IBM PS/2 286) had DOS 4 on it, and I played games like Frogger and Packman.

EnglishLion · Nov 19, 2007

Pong - if we're including consoles

Otherwise Space Invaders on the ZX81

My ZX81 even had the 16K RAM upgrade

I did love playing Manic Miner on the spectrum and SWOS on the Amiga!
