Post What is the first game you ever played? 
Simple question really, but will be great to hear about the stories you associate with it.

For me, it was probably Tennis on the Binatone TV Master MK6 which you can find an example of here: http://gamingmuseum.classicgaming.gamespy.com/binatonemk6.html . Before they made shit home phones, Binatone were in the industry of making awesome TV games, and I remember it's brown plastic finish and tiny paddle controllers very fondly. Best game of Pong? Probably.

So MLG-ers, what's the first game you played?

I'd say it would have to be this



Packman style game on the ZX81 when I was at middle school back in 81-82 ish (cant remember exactly it was sooo long ago)

If you want to try this and a couple of other ZX81 classics

I'm not sure, I think it might have been a type-in program my Dad did on an old synthesiser with TV-out... I don't have a picture!

Earlist memory of video gaming at home was probably playing Adventure on an Atari 2600 I got for Christmas 1979 Smile

I think it may have been a type out program out of the old C+VG magazine years ago, for the Vic20 or ZX80

Back in the earliest recesses of my mind, around 3 or 4 years old, I remember sitting on a boosted up chair on the landing of the old house in Sussex and playing my father's state of the art IBM PC.

It was back in 1986 and the fine machine boasted 4 colours, people would gasp at the realism.

In those bleary memories, my first recolection of a game had to be Sopwith, an action based flying game where you had to shoot down other planes, and bomb the crap out of ground targets.

Good, warm and fuzzy times people.

Checked with my dad in case he had a memory of sitting me down in front of the CPC 464 to play something in particular, and he and i both figured it was the above masterpiece. Jet Set Willy. Evil game mind you.

My first memory of a game was playing on my computer, with a big box full of floppy discs with random games on like cool spot and jazz jackrabbit, but my first game I remember playing was a game called battlezone, a game where all graphics were wire frame animation, you drove around in a tank shooting and blowing up other tanks... brilliant!! I'd give a picture but I dunno how
