Gauntlet. No clue what year, but I was young enough that I could barely reach the controllers.

Pong back in the mid seventies.

Same here. Dedicated Pong machine connected to a TV. The TV had knobs, not buttons. It's one of my earliest memories....

One of my aunts had an Atari 2600 with PacMan and River Raid in the late 70s. I played that on a few occasions. Hmmmm. Maybe it was the early 80s.....

joust on atari back in the good ole days...

On a computer it was pong. In an arcade it was pacman...

 

[Chaotic42]

Boulder Dash-C64

 

[Epoman]

Odyssey2 "K.C. Munchkin" A Pacman clone. When it first came out. I was about 6 or 7.

Either Missle Command or Asteroids for the Atari 2600 (I believe).

It was at my best friend Mia's house when we were about 7. She only had one because she had a bunch of older brothers. I'm guessing the year (based on my age guestimate) was around 1985. I could be off a year in either direction.

The first console game that really hooked me was Super Mario Brothers for the NES. I imagine I was around 8 at that point...but I don't really remember when that was out.

The first computer game that really hooked me was X-Wing by LucasArts. That was somewhere around 1993 on my family's brand new 486-SX.

Since then, games haven't had quite the hold on me that they used to mainly because I just didn't have the time. There have been a few that I have definitely been a number since then that I have definitely enjoyed and finished.

Smurfs for Colecovision I think. Either that or Zaxxon.

First game ever for me was a text-based game called 'Adventure' for the TI16 system. (Late 70's if I recall correctly)

Second game I ever played was Tank for NES, which I still play periodically.

 

[Ranger X]

Duck Hunt or Gyromite on NES.

 

[eigen]

Either combat on atari or pac-man on this handheld arcade machine thing I had.
