BF2S Forums The First Computer Game That You Played

My first had to be the original Space Invaders played on a 8086 with two 5 1/4" drives and a whopping 64k RAM.

At that point I also had frogger, QBert, JumpJoe and 3Demon. Oh...and my upgrade to that was a monster rig... a 286 with a spacious 2mb HDD.

I also remember playing Number Munchers on old Apple IIgs's at school, as well as the original Oregon Trail. Big karma to anyone who knows of an HTML version of that game.

C64: Commando
A500: Turrican I
PC: Police Quest I
Atari 400: California Run

That's for computers (if I remember correctly), as far as the first video game goes: ..Pong, naturally!

I was going to say it must of been either Pacman or Sapce Invaders on holiday but we used to own an Atari which you plug into the tv and used lines to hit dots and in different ways it gave you approx 12 games.

See Dons pic above

Yep.. That's pong alright. 12 games from the single concept of two lines and a square. I believ the pic above is called "Tennis"

I guess it dosent count as a computer though, however it must be calculating as its working away?

Remember the one with approx 12 broken vertical lines across the screen (lines looking like a road line) and you had to move the dot from left of the screen through the broken sections of the lines. Hey Presto! American Football.  Even as a 8 year old brit I was like "fuck off ya not fooling me".

commando on the C64

Cd-man, pacman, captain comic, ducktales (yay), tankwars, wolfenstein 3d. I miss those games

tetris

warcraft 2 or starcraft, im not sure.
