I don't remember, but let's just say it was long enough ago that PvP was a fist fight in the parking lot.

Oh God, this brings back memories. I had a Snoopy tennis game like that, and one with a giant octopus.
First game was either Pong or Space Invaders, not sure which one came first.

Jetpack! On my 1983 ZXSpectrum 48k (rubber keys!), which surprisingly enough is still in working order.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

those two I remember playing A LOT

I remember Super Mario (did they call it that on the NES?) more or less as the first game. First console I had was the SNES, but played a lot of NES over at friends houses. the actual first was probably some arcade game somewhere. Or maybe a dos game. I remember playing a lot of Star Crusader.

I also remember going into dos and putting a floppy in, but can't really remember the game.

My first video game was Downland on my radioshack tandy. Or Dungeons of Daggorath - I got both at the same time and I really don't remember which one I played first.

Some silly Sonic game at the barber's when I was a little kid. I also distinctly remember my older cousin showing me Age of Empires, also when very young, I'm not sure which came first, but the Age of Empires experience was particularly memorable. First video game I played that was 'mine' was Pharaoh on my mom's work computer. I was only allowed to play it since my parents deemed it 'educational'. My mother regretted it after though; I was a pain in the ass interfering with her work: "But mom! I have a pyramid to build!"

Grrr.

I didn't know those computer existed.
The first computer I bought was:
a Timex Sinclair.

Funny enough, felons already tried to steal it from me and did.
They too came up with false insinuations against me aimed at discrediting me.

I still remember the programs I ran on it, but they were not games.
It was possible to program games on it.

My Very first, 3D PC Game would have to be StarSiege. One of the very first Mecha Games on the market.

Fantastic Voyage on my brothers ZX Spectrum, can't remember the names of the other games because Fantastic Voyage was so cool you play inside a human.

Some kind of BS educational game my parents bought for me. As far as "real" video games, probably Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness

I lived and breathed Starsiege for years, ity was a great game, way ahead of it's time. Before that I played Metaltech/Earthsiege and Earthsiege 2.

When Mechwarrior 4 came out a while later, I used to seriously tick people off on the Dropship Command forums comparing the 2 lol. In terms of game mechanics, Mech4 was primitive compared to Starsiege in many ways, like how the map worked, and multiplayer (for example The Mechwarrior DEVs shipped the game without any way to know how many people were on each team and had to patch the functionality into the chat system, it was a major goof up).

The Apoc was my favorite human HERC, but I spent most of my game time in either a Basilisk (I like underdog mechs lol) or an Adjudicator ("the JUDGE).

(I get a chuckle when I read the Adjudicator's description; "The fearsome look of the Adjudicator is the result of the Cybrid brain-scan "focus testing" involving captive human subjects.ÿ Through trial and error, the Cybrids developed this platform to strike terror in the hearts of the Human pilots.ÿ To a large degree, they succeeded.ÿ The Adjudicator has room for plenty of firepower even if it is a bit lacking when it comes to mounting armor and sensory equipment". LOL)

They are rebooting TRIBES (which comes form the Starseige universe), I hope beyond hope that one day we'll see another actual Starsiege game.

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, on the IntelliVision "Console"

1984 I think.

No need for über GFX back then, the imagination did all the work for you Smile
