that game was superb!

you had to start in div 3 and then only get offered the job of the team that finished 3 places higher than you,so getting brighton could take years

seem to recall newport county being the ultimate challenge,on gates of around 1500 and shit players to boot

I loved that game. Also there was an international management game made by the same people called "Tracksuit Manager" which was good as well.

Probably Pong, followed by Space Invaders and Asteroids at uni. Computer-wise, most likely a horrible old Amstrad.

Discovered the joys of Apple in about 1991 :love:

tennis (a big blob hitting a smaller blob to another big blob) then Break Out (where you had to knock down a wall - more blobs moving left and right)

I can't remember my first console or game, but the one game that always sticks in my mind was Kick Off 2 by Dino Dini, a superb game I can remember spending hours playing my mates on tha Atari 520ST or on their Amiga's which I didn't like as much

First PC game I ever played was Command And Conquer when I was around 8. I remember completing my first game, Super Mario Land 2 on the Gameboy, whilst standing in the playground at first school at 5 years old. Champion.

I believe it was an F1 game on the ZX Spectrum, though it was my dad's so I consider Sonic the Hedgehog a truer answer!

up, down, left, right, start.

Saying that, I also remember a chess game on an Atari that took floppy discs, where the chess pieces walked around and attacked each other!

Mine was on the Vic 20(?) and it was an aeroplane flying over buildings and you hit the space bar to drop bombs .... I think!
