For me it was Duck Hunt on the Nintendo's Super Mario Bros/Duckhunt game. I loved it and the Super Mario Bros was my second and I instantly was hooked on that. What was your first game you played?

Doom 2, on my father's work PC (we didn't have a computer at home then).

I first thought it was Moon Patrol for the Atari 2600, then I remembered my father taking us to his work in the mid 80s and playing on a work computer. I remember thinking how neat that was at thus my first major hobby started.

I don't remember to be honest. I think it might have been Supaplex on our DOS computer or Mario on Super Nintendo.

It was either Super Smash Bros. Melee, or Super Monkey Ball for Nintendo Game Cube.

need for speed 3: hot pursuit for the first playstation.

the only game i had at that time and doing circles around hometown for hours was enough to satisfy me at that time.

regret selling it along with the playstation, honestly. i was just looking for it last week.

Pong, on my first home-made console. The program was hard-wired using TTL chips.

Does anyone else remember the 7400 series? Fairchild, NatSemi, and TI produced bazillions of those little 14-pin and 16-pin packages, and every hobbyist worth his flux had bins full of them!

Karnaugh maps!

ob-firstgame: Star Trek, on a teletype terminal at the Lawrence Hall of Science. Although I also remember playing a table-top console...some sort of vector graphics game, like two 'asteroids' ship triangles chasing & shooting each other around a central island. No idea of the year on that memory...but it inspired me to make a twisting tunnel driving vector (-ish? I don't recall the PET having any but block chars) game on Commodore PET or similar with a homemade mercury tilt-switch "joystick" when I was maybe 13-14.

Thats awesome, how was it setup? Breadboard or regular circuit board? What did you use for input? What did you use for video output?

Also Fnord or should I say Gandalf, your profile says you are over 1000 years old

This might bring back memories for some: 1970's magazine articles - DIY pong

The prototype was bread-boarded. The version I submitted for class work was wire-wrapped. The inputs were a couple of 10k pots and push-button switches. The modulator was a hacked wireless microphone. I scored an A+.

I've given up trying to correct it. If anyone asks, I am 58 years old.
