First game I remember...pfew. Well when I was a little kid, like 4-5 or something, we had this pre-DOS computer. On it was some wierd game wich was simply a big shooting target and a moving dot. You had to hit the spacebar to 'shoot' (wich simply ment the moving dot stood still) and then your score was calculated, including the number of 'shots' you fired. Every time you had a succesfull hit, the dot moved slighly faster, and faster, etc etc untill it became really difficult. I remember playing it sometimes while sitting on my dad's lap, when we still got along hehe :p After that we got a DOS computer with stuff like Commander Keen, Duke Nukem (the 1st!).

The first games I played were Flimbo's Quest and Circus Games on my C64. They were on the cartridge that came with it, and went into the keyboard. There was a Soccer game on the cartridge too but I can't remember what it was called. 'International Soccer Series' or something.

After that it was my NES. Super Mario Bros. being the 1st game I had. I remember when I first got it I was a wee bit afraid of the underground level.

Probably Manic Miner, Hungary Horace, Horace Goes Skiing, Horace and the Spiders, Harrier Attack.

Something from the early 1980's on a ZX Spectrum 48K.

First electronic game I played? Maybe Pac-Man, Space Invaders or some other primitive game... which was most likely a clone of another primitive game. My first console game was Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt.

Oldest electronic game I've played? I've tried emulated versions of various crappy arcade games from the late 70's or so. No specific titles comes to mind.

Oldest electronic game I know of? Tennis for Two.

I actually played 'Spacewar!' at a video game museum. It wasn't an actual machine, more of an emulator. It was a bad game, but surprisingly well programmed. The gravity was especially impressive.

I played tetris in the Late 1980's. I think the first time I played it was in 1989. Got a chance to play it for my birthday.

First game I remember playing was a Pac-Man ripoff on my dad's computer. Or maybe Doom 2 on that same computer... I need to find that computer... *off to ask dad about it and rummage around in attic*
