Pong like game played on a TV with a box of some kind.

On me first 8086  4.85 Mhz but with VGA card (wow) I played PQ (police quest) and SimCity 1.0

Mongoose

the very first game I ever played was Battle Chess, must have been about 5 or 6. It was a chess game where the pieces came to life and fought when you made a move

Man I loved that game.

First game I can really remember playing was Ghosts and Goblins on C64.

Actually maybe thats not entirely true. Remember playing a bit of text-based Dune on a comically brick-like monochrome (orange!) toshiba laptop.

What was that cool racing game for the C-64 where you could adjust gravity? Sort of like a 3-D Moon Patrol--which also happens to rock. :D

I remember borrowing Turbo off my cousins! :-)

DEViANCE

i think the first game i played on a PC was Championship Manager 95.

The computer I think was 66mhz(with the turbo button  :? ) 8mb ram and 200mb HDD. Running win95a. Still got it in the garage. It used to take an hour to setup a game with 3 of my mates, i can remember we used to go out for a game of footy or cricket while we waited for it to load.  :lol:  good old days!

after that is was probably C&C Red Alert, that was on a P90 and it blew me away, still play it to this day.

Mine woulda been Sonic on Game Gear, and on PC was the original (and still best imo) Need For Speed.

One of the games that came with the Amstrad CPC 664 (Green Screen), written in the back of the manual. Had to type it in using BASIC (hardcore! :P). You were flying a bomber coming into land and you had to bomb these buildings to avoid crashing. Have no idea if it had a name. :mrgreen:

First console was the NES, with Super Mario Bros. :)
