I don't know what my first game was. Something on Atari in about 1985ish though.

I'm pretty sure the first video game I played was Space Inaders back in 76'. I also remember playing a two player tank game that you had to drive through mines that looked like little x's and the round bounced from wall to wall. Either way, I was two or three when I played my first game almost 30 years ago!!!

I think my first game was Off Road Racing for the original Nintendo. Either that or the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt/Track and Field game. NOt sure, early 90's though. I was a late gamer. LOL

2,300 yay!

First time I played PC game in 1989 (I was 6). It was black and white display, Bulgarian PC (I suppose, not sure about name). Don't know that game. It was about small man who travel between rooms.

I also played Atari, but don't remember when it was

Then in age of 7 (1990 year) I got my first PC. It was Ukrainian PC (IBM 086 compatible) 4 Mhz B) , connected to TV. Data was loaded from tape recorder. I had there lot's of different games.
I programed in Basic, draw pictures and played games (see below).

Then I upgraded that PC - color display (probably EGA), extended RAM (up to 640 Kb), printer (9 pin, A3+), FDD (5.25", 720 Kb), I had even joystick rolleyes.gif smile.gif
PC didn't have HDD.

Games I remmember:
frog - you need to take frog on opposite side of the road, through big traffic.
baby - building is on fire and you are fireman, you need to catch jumping babies from windows.
canon - there is a canon gun, and you need to kill all parachutists and airplanes.
Ninja, Dragon, Goody,.....And so on....

Then I changed PC to 386 40 Mhz.
Then I upgrated it to 486, 100 Mhz,
Then I had Pentium II, 233 Mhz.
And now I have Pentium III, 1 Ghz.

I remember the fishing game on the Atari. That is the first game I can remember playing.
