First Computer Game you ever bought?

[Quixfire]

The first computer game I bought was Army Men and it was a blast to play.

The flamethrower was the best weapon. I love to watch the enemy melt.

[FoBoT]

if you count a pong machine to hook to the tV , then pong

if you are talking a computer software game on floopy disk, then the oldest i can remember is olympic decathlon or maybe apple panic, about 1980 or 1981

My parents bought all the games for the Apple IIc, so I can't count those. The first couple Nintendo games I bought were Legend of Zelda and Metroid. One of the first PC games I remember buying was King's Quest VI.
I also bought the Koshan Conspiracy a bit later (anyone remember it?)... that game had a lot of cool ideas and potential, but it just wasn't executed very well.

[scorpmatt]

First game I bought was called Arcade Classics (or something like that). It had paratrooper, space invaders, qbert, and a couple others i can't remember right now. Man, sometimes I miss those days with the 5 and 1/4 inch floppies, having to reboot to play a game... Funky blue and red colors.... Man those were the days

 

[Amused]

An old text based game called "Adventure" back in the early 80s.

We had pong in the late 70s, but I thought the OP meant "computer games" as in PC type stuff.

 

[Queasy]

Ehhh...I don't think the Atari computer (yes, Atari briefly made computers with Alan Alda starring the TV ads) counts but we got Pole Position for it.

My first real computer with a real computer game was D&D: Pool of Radiance. The game included the fun feature of swapping out 5.25" floppy discs every 2 minutes.
