There was a moon lander game on a TI-99/4a that I played in a grade school computer class.

First computer my family owned was an Apple IIe, first game on that was Lady Tut.

Never had a console...probably a good thing! Spent my childhood riding bikes, climbing trees, fishing and generally tearing around the great outdoors instead.

Some vector graphics arcade game in Italy (not asteroids, something more primitive.) Then Pong, Atari Combat, etc., back stateside.

Something on the atari 2600, possibly dig dug or donkey kong.

First game i properly played? Monkey Island and a load of pirated pinball games on the Amiga 500.

The first I can actually remember is playing Super Mario Bros on the original NES. I was about 4 years old at the time, My cousin had given my family the console as a gift and we only had that game to start withCool

I played Super Mario and managed to save the princess up to aroud 3 times without game over.
Of course, I used the 2 level jumps to speed up time.

Then there was Duck Hunt with the hand gun , which if you held to the top left corner of the TV (on a good TV),
you could kill all the ducks automatically.
It is an actual cheat code.
Easy to get the high score.

I played this with a Machine Language programmer who worked on the Ghostbuster arcade version video game.

Bizarrely enough, I also have a fully functional 48k rubber beermat, it's sat on the shelf along with a BBC model B, an Acorn Archimedes and an Amiga 500.

edit, blast from the past. Lemmings

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I remember playing Mischief Makers and Golden Eye 007 way back in the 90's. But alas, that was a long time ago.
