first game was towers of hanoi.

[SinbadEV]

for what system?... or are you refering to "Historically, the first game in recorded history was 'The Towers of Hanoi'"

I think my first video game was probably Space Invaders for the Atari home computer system OR super mario bros. for the NES. I was 8 at the time so it's hard to remember.

[Min3mat]

super mario (1) for gameboy (the big un)
awesome, fun and fairly challenging (once you go through the game once it gets a _lot_ harder :))

[Felix the Cat]

My first game was Super Mario Brothers 3 for the NES. That game pwns most games that come out nowadays. I would play Super Mario Brothers 3 over Counterstrike any day.

I had this really cool 500-in-1 game thingy from Korea for the NES, it was really like 12 pirated games with 500 different names.

[SinbadEV]

Did it have "Wild Ball"

[BlackLiger]

my first computer game? Comodore 64, some kind of fighter sim.

On PC? Good old OTA.

[Warlord Zsinj]

Heh, I had one of them felix.

It had this tank game, where you had to blow up walls and kill the enemy, uh, some "charlies circus" game, which I spent days trying to beat... A million top down shoot 'em up aircraft games, and heaps of tetris knockoffs...

Except, it wasn't just a pirate game, the whole console was a dodgy knockoff. :D

When I was, like, 8, Fredrick the foriegn exchange student from France was living at my grandparent's house, and he installed some games on their computer. I then would go over there, and play them:

some wierd 2D golf simulation game
some wierd hovercraft capture the flag game
Jazz Jackrabbit
Tyrian
Descent

Ice, Boulderdash was the pwnage!

[IceXuick]

Ice, Boulderdash was the pwnage!

yeah that sure was! my whole family played it, my mon was even the most hooked to it lol!

[jellyman]

ooohhh wizball krakout riverraid boulderdash. Ah the memories.

Kickman Quo Vadis Pool of Radiance. Getting a floppy disk drive with 166k. Games so big that you could only fit one of them on a floppy disk. Bards Tale. Raid over bungelling bay (the game that inspired Simcity lol). Typing in games from the magazine into computer - mostly typing in hundreds of lines of code to then type run and ?syntax error on line 380 - or a game that ran at 4 frames per second with 2 animated object - but also several thousand rows of numbers to enter the machine code for Crossroads II pandemonium - which was just the pwniest.

[ILMTitan]

Cosmic Relief was the first game I played on the C64.

Shoot 'em Up game construction program was cool, although I could never get it to do the things I wanted.

Another great game was Racing Destruction

I think my first computer game experience was on a TRS80 III. I seem to remember it it involved looking after your harvests, feeding you population getting promoted from Sir to Knight to Lord to King.

[SwiftSpear]

Anyone remember "The orgeon trail"?

[Pxtl]

I will kill each and every one of you in "BallBlazer", "Way of the Exploding Fist", and the original Mario Bros.

I always love hearing Atari fans complain about the game crash of '84. It was a very good year for C64 games.

c64 ftw!
