First video game you truly remember playing...

[royaldank]

Coin Op - Pac Man
Console - KC Munchkin (Odysee) (is that the name?)
Computer - Some pac man clone on my TI-94A (again, I may have the name wrong)

Here is something I vividly remember. My parents were buying a pinball machine when I was real young. We went to a video game distributor to look at their used machines. While we are shopping, my brother and I (both pretty young at this point) hear some game in the back that sounds somewhat like Donkey Kong. We asked a worker there was they were playing back there and he said a new game called Donkey Kong Jr. My brother and I both got really excited and finally talked the guy into letting us see it. They had just gotten it that week and were going to start distributing them the next week. We saw about two minutes of the game and thought we were the sh!t for seeing before anyone else in our town.

Oh crap. I forgot about Pong. We had a standalone Pong unit when I was little. Like 5 years old. Mid seventies. So yeah. Pong.

nethack. Heck, I still play it sometimes!

 

[Wallydraigle]

Pong

[Lvis]

Pong at the arcade. We all dropped a few quarters in it; for a while. Then went back to pinball, until space invaders came out...then came asteroids... No turning back then, we forgot about pinball.

Those pinball machines from the seventies were the best though. I'd love to own one now.

 

[Wozster]

<< pong on the tv at home >>

 

[Stark]

1. pong
2. space invaders

I also preferred pinball to those two games. The first game that had me hooked was pacman.

 

[Mem]

Pong,Space invaders,Asteroids(I hated the hyperjump,always landed in a big asteroid).

 

[RossMAN]

Either Pong or Tank waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day (late 70's) on an Atari 2600.

 

[joohang]

Galaga.

First video game I played on NES was either Super Mario Bros. 3 or The Legend of Zelda.

 

[FrustratedUser]

Defender on the C64.

More addictive than ATOT.
