The mid-80s, something on a C64. I don't remember the name, it was one of those level thingies where you use a moving pad to get a ball to demolish various brick designs.


Arkanoid :)


Yes! Thank you *hug* :-D
Probably something I typed from a magazine into a ZX81. O_O
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega genesis was my very first game that I remember spending countless hours on.

I remember getting an Atari 2600 for Christmas when I was like 5 (showing my age) and playing Enduro for hours on end.

Most of my best gaming memories though are endlessly playing on an Amega 500.
PC: Prince of Persia
Online PC: Starcraft

Sega Genesis: Sonic the Hedgehog
SNES: Donkey Kong Country 2
N64: Mario64
PS: Chrono Cross
Dreamcast: Tony Hawk Pro Skater
IGN: ImmortalFang
Contra on the NES
Its hard to part the mists of time in my mind to reveal what pass for memories in there.

I definitely had pong. Also had a mechanical pong type thing before that, you put batteries in the bottom and a little motor swung a light with a spring around it back and forth and you turned a knob which raised and lowered a little blocker. Was shaped to look like a tv more or less.

One of my older brothers brought a video game sort of thing over sometime back there. It had plastic sheets that used static to cling to your tv. There were several games with their own sheets, one was kind of like Clue if I remember correctly.

Our school was one of the first to get the Apple II computers that apple tried to put in every school in the country. I remember the only program that came with it was Visicalc. First game I played on that would have been Oregon Trail I believe.

Yep, Oregon Trail, that would be the first real computer game.

Try to be the person your dog thinks you are.
Pacman
Pong. :( Yes, I'm that old. The first system I owned was the Sears Tele-Games system. For those not familiar with this it was an Atari 2600 but at that time Sears wouldn't sell anything that didn't have their name on it so Atari made an agreement with Sears to let them rebrand the system. Mine is actually the original "heavy sixer" version that was only made in early 1977 and manufactured in California rather than Hong Kong like all of the other early 2600s. So safe to say it's a rare bird. I still have the oringal box and manuals so this puppy is probably worth some money for a collector. Not that I'm looking to sell it.
