What was the first game and the first computer you ever played on?

Computers where more exciting in the old days. I went the commodore route.

Vic 20 then Commodore 64
First games I remember playing where Duck Shoot on the Vic 20.



Every Saturday we used to get the bus to Brighton and visit a computer shop called Gamer. Does anyone remember this shop? When you walked in everyone used to gather around the commodore Amiga 500. Everyone was blown away by the juggler demo



A few years later, and after getting my first job, I managed to save my money and get the Amiga 600. It was brilliant.

I miss those days.

Aah Gamer, down by The Cannon cinema. I worked there when I was on the YTS scheme. It was brilliant just sitting there playing computer games all day!!!

Can't remember [MENTION=307]Biscuit[/MENTION] may know, All I remember is the games were all on floppy disks and it was almost keyboard shaped.

It was from an Amegia 64! It would have been either 'Monkey Island' or 'Prince or Persia'. Both absolute classics!

There is no such thing as an Amiga 64. There was a Commodore 64 which predated the original Amiga.

My first game was Microsoft Olympics on the Apple IIe

Mine was circa 84/5 and a game called Raid over moscow *so politically correct back in the day* ... had it on the spectrum ZX and then boughtthe same game on the C64 sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh happy days

Good game that.

Dose anyone remember a game called 'Trolley Wally' for the C64......that game was amazing, I never even got close to completing it.

space invaders on zx81. Shoooting letters at other letters and numbers. I still have it but the 16k ram pack has gone!

 

[ady1973]

Mine was the C64...still have it complete with tape deck, joystick and loads of games....inc..'beachhead'...hunchback'....'international soccer'...'ghostbusters' to name a few.

I tried to sell it as a job lot at a car boot sale, but no luck. So it's back in the loft.....(iwas asking 20quid)

The very first game I played on a computer was my friend's ZX81. I don't remember what the game was.

My first computer was a Vic 20 and the first game I bought for it was the MASSIVELY underwhelming 'Wacky Waiters'.

Something on the Amstrad 6128, not entirely sure which was the very first game, it would have been one of:

Arkanoid

All quality games, I had forgotten about that roundhouse head chop on barbarians.

This was a favourite a few years later on my Atari ste:
