What was the first computer game you ever played?

For me it was Trail West on the Commodore 64. As a kid I used to love that game. I have been looking for it to add it to my collection but have been unable to find it. I would love to play it again.

Ledgeman is the first game I can recall playing on a computer on the BBC Micro at school, think it would have been around 1987

I'm pretty sure it was Gift From The Gods on the Spectrum. I do have vague memories of playing Wonderboy on my cousin's C64, but no idea if that was before or after.

I don´t remember for sure but I think it was Frogger on the Sinclair ZX81, my first and much beloved computer:



Sometimes I wonder how this little and limited machine could offer so much fun.

Never used a dragon 32. I might have to get one sometime and try out some games on it.

almost identical to coco2 "color computer 2"

On console it has most probably been Pong, or a clone.

Can't remember the first game on a computer but Hunchback has been one of the first on a family friend's C64. The first game on my own computer was Raid on Fort Knox on Vic-20.

Pong my first sometime in the 70s.

Just seen the zx81 game had one of those 3d monster maze love hate relationship hours to load seconds to play before it would lockup lol

I have vague memories of some 70s console in a family friends house. I think the console was brown in color, with two controllers of some sort and monochrome graphics. I believe there were several games to choose from, all with a sporty or a ball-gamey theme, but it was all fairly abstract with about the complexity of pong. I was very small and generally interested, but couldn't actually play it worth crap.

Combat on Atari 2600. I only remember some snapshots popping up in my mind playing against my father 1 on 1 with tanks. I was about 5 years old
PS. Back then obviously I didn't know that it was Combat and it was on Atari VCS / 2600.

Hunt the wumpus and Star Trek on a GEC mini computer, 1972 or 73 or thereabouts. And pong! Thanks to Woolworths I guess a bit later.

I have a funny feeling that this was mine as well - either that or QS Defenda.

It seems it was Snake-Byte and/or Canyon Climber on the Apple IIe... I vaguely remember some top-down racing game as well. Somehow we had one in our house before a C64 because some "computer" guy in a running club liked my mom.

It's also possible we played a Magnavox Odyssey 2 (K.C. Munchkin!) or a Channel F Fairchild (Block It!) sooner.

Very very briefly we had some cartridge system that barely worked with the wumpus game on it, but I've no idea what that was... I recall it overheating easily. (Google makes me think it was a TI-99/4a)

 

[tokyoracer]

I think my first was on the NES but that's not really a computer system. Can't remember what the first was on a computer but it would have been on the 1200 back in '93.

What a curious coincidence!

On console the Philips Videopac G7000 was my first machine. Unfortunately, the memories about what was the game played are lost. There have been so many years since then (I´m becoming old )
