What’s the very first video game you EVER played? (arcade included)

Obviously, a lot of the older gamers will say Pong, but it’s fun to put things into perspective and see which games were “firsts” for gamers across the board.

I first played a game called "monsters" on the BBC Micro about 20 years ago. Still got it somewhere.

I playied my first videogame on my Atari which had a lot.I dont remember which of all though.I think it was that tennis game.

I used to have a commodore 16 (yes, that\'s right, a commodore 16) what a friend gave me, and on one of the cassettes that he let me have, was a game called "Punchy". It was without a doubt THE most pathetic game ever created. All you had to do was make your way from the left of the screen to the right, whilst jumping over obstacles. Once you made it to the right of the screen, you went onto the next level. What I remember most about it was that it took about 25 minutes to load from a the tape.

Ahhhhh, those were the days, when you were boasting about what "computer" you had, you never used terms like mghz, RAM, Gigabytes, processor power and so on and so on....... All you had to say is "What K is it?" and it would be something crappy (like 16 K in my case). Then I cot a C64....... WOW!!!! A whole 64 K.

PAC MAN on NES.

I think mine was chuckie egg on an archemedies

Pong.

First arcade game I ever played was Donkey Kong.

I was too young to remember, but it was something on an old Atari.  Perhaps F-1 Pole Position or maybe even Pac-Man.

I just hope it wasn\'t E.T., because we had that, too.  What a terrible way to get started that would have been.

I think it\'s primary function was as a demonstration model.

I know it was on the Intellivsion, but I don\'t remember what game it was.

Later in my gaming history I remember pong, then super breakout, f1 pole posistion, and some space shuttle game, all on the Atari 2600.

Atari 2600 I think it was called Crossbow. I loved that game.
