Oregon Trail was really classic. I remember we were never allowed to play oregon trail unless we finished ALL our work.

 

[UNCjigga]

Colecovision? You had a troubled childhood, didnt you?



Now wait I may be thinking of intellivision... which one had the really f'd up controller?

 

[PricklyPete]

Asteroids or Space Invaders on an Atari. I might have played pac man at the arcade earlier.

 

[Regs]

Super mario and tetris.

Another one with an ape in it...forgot. It was like pac-man but with an ape.

even earlier...Load Runner on one of the first apple computers

LodeRunner rocked. The all-time greatest climbing maze game, 150 levels and no save game feature. I left the old Apple II+ running constantly for about a week to get through it. Of course that wasn't the earliest one for me, I think Breakout was the first I played.

Load Runner was my first on PC, Mario on NES.

 

[Electric Amish]

Pong on a cousin's system (don't know what the system was, I was very young).

Combat: Atari 2600

Non-console I had a hand-held football game before the 2600.

amish

 

[EglsFly]

Pong.

 

[FoBoT]

in an arcade == pong or space invaders

home == pong, in the early 80's you could get a box that plugged into your TV and would do a couple version of pong/tennis (before they invented NES)

 

[FatJackSprat]

I remember seeing Space Invaders in a store lobby when I was about 7 or 8. I tried to put 25 cents into to it instead of a quarter. The pennies got stuck and some angry kid dug them out with a knife.
