Blackpool UK on the North Pier Arcade (1976/77) (I was 9).. No particular game but it was like I had found heaven... (and a Granny with a seemingly bottomless pocket of 5 and 10ps :)


But I may have had a pong unit before then (everyone had em didn\'yt they), I\'m not sure...

I still look at games now and say "F**K! we\'re blessed" :)

I got hooked w/ atari2600, but when I got my Commodore 64, I played loderunner\'s rescue. (the one that you could build your own levels.) it was sort of 3-D (more like isometric)

Donkey Kong, Parsec, and Hunt the Wompus for the TI 99/4A got me started on console gaming. (Had a type of Pong system but didn\'t really play it all that much)

Kings Quest 4 was my first game on the PC and it\'s what got me hooked. ("You mean I can type in whatever I want and she\'ll actually DO it?!?.. Mmm the possiblities!")

Good ol\' DigDug... and Paratrooper. These were the first games I remember playing for days on end on our trusty Xerox 8086 PC. It was \'87 or \'88 methinks...

The first game I remember that had a huge impact on me was The Legend of Zelda : A Link to the Past (...that I had previously bashed and said to be a piece of cr*p, without even playing it. Good thing that fanboyism can be cured by great games like this.). I still love that game... pure bliss. Anybody have a copy for sale? :p

After that gaming\'s just been a natural part of my life. Sometimes even moreso (namely when a Final Fantasy game comes around :p). Games rule!

Gotta be the atari 2600.  I played that baseball game soooo much with my father, where the fall was just one big fat pixel.  Oh, and breakout (which had amazing pics on the cartidge cover, but again, but single pixel ball, with 10 pixel blocks).  :D

Then commodore 64, played BigMac, Spyhunter (oh yeah), and loderunner for a while.

Then an XT, pitfall, digdug, jumpman, etc. --> P4 now....

Lastly, the \'good\' consoles really started with SMS (ghostbusters mostly), NES (so many - ice hockey, metroid, supermario, zelda) --> PS2 now....

tetris has to be the first game I ever played and enjoyed, it was the version they had in the arcades. Oh man , those memories. I miss these days when games were about fun and not about graphics :(

It was Mario that got me to like nintendo and tekken what made me like psx. Eventually GT3 and TTT would convince me that i needed a ps2. These games mean allot to me thes days

I don\'t remember the names of any particular games. But I do remember playing my friends Master System way back in the day all the time. That was pretty much what got me hooked on gaming. Good times. :)
Er, excuse me, how much for one of those, uh, prophylactics?..........But I don\'t have a dollar and thirty-five cents!

Pong and Asteroids.

I also had a system called Famicom. It\'s the Japanese version of Nes, I think.

It breaks easily, though. I had to buy 3 of them.

I don\'t even know why I bothered.
