<< The first one I ever saw was when I was a teen at the beach. I have no idea what the name was but it was a very simple black and white tv screen with a field of moving stars. The goal was to move this little rocket shaped thing to the top of the screen without hitting any of the stars. It had a joystick that moved it left, right, up, or down only. No diagonals etc.

Edit: Researched this a bit and I think it was called Space Race. You could not move left or right, only up. >>




i remember that one, i PLAYED that one

It was either "Choplifter" or "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego" on the Commodore 64.

I remember playing PONG on a Fairchild game system at Sears when I was a wee lad. Man...there was a crowd of people around it just AMAZED that two lines were bouncing a dot back and forth....and it was BEING CONTROLLED BY A PERSON!!!

I look back at that and blush for being so primitive.

Same here.. We had a Sears Pong machine and I distinctly remember playing Space Invaders (always my favorite) and Pac-Man at the arcade close to our house.
