the earliest video game you remember playing?

Pong
When it was sold as it's own big unit

Pinball and Lunar Lander on an old dos system.

They were great fu when I was young, then I moved into Police/Space/King's Quest, then onto Monkey Island games and Leisure Suit Larry. I loved the old sierra and LucasArts games.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is still one of the most enjoyable games I ever played, wish I still could play it.

I do kinda miss the mad rush to the arcade. It is now all at home.
Though you still got Chuck E Cheese.

Mine is pong. Don't forget Tank Pong!

KC Munchkin, I forget what system that was. Pac Man of course.

My favorite is still Joust.

Rugrats on one of the gameboys; i got stuck in the toy factory so i gave up

defender and freeway on the 2600

also dragonfire on the intellevision

I don't know if the old pong systems count...but that was the first video game I remember.

Then it was Superman on the old atari system...that game was a blast.

Star Trek on a Hewlitt-Packard "work-station" while I was in the NAVY back in the early eighties! It was basically just a grid co-ordinate game that let u warp between sectors of space and engage enemy ships. It was really fun at the time since the "work-stations" we were using were pretty advanced for the time ! !! ! ! In color too ! !!!

Horace goes skiing spectrum
Pong
Grid iron 2 paddles lines and not much else
Good old dayzzz
Wake me up when the C64 comes along

Warlords and pitfall along with Tecmo bowl I think it was called. I used to play Warlords with my bro for hours until our mom came down and threw us out of the house....ah back in the good ole days when moms cared that their children sat on their butts doing nothing. So I just crashed my bike into my fathers work truck instead, it hurt but there was a sense of satisfaction in it.

Sonic the Hedgehog on my Sega...
Good memories.

Altered Beast although I couldn't get far on it.
Then Mario and Duck hunter.
The PS1 came out and I was addicted to video games and have probably spent at least $20,000 since the fourth grade on them----I'm 20 now so that's a lot of money

Rainbow Island on Atari when I was about 6.

I still remember it, and believe it or not, until this day, I still haven't found a game that I've had as much fun playing as that one.

Rogue on the Commodore 64, I had no idea how to use a C64 at that age so I would always annoy my
uncle to put the game on. Till this day I have no idea how to start a game on the Commodore 64.

Super Mario Bros on the NES

Been a huge Mario fan since.
