    My first real computer game was Hangman. which was a part of Tandy's Deskmate running on Tandy DOS 2.1 on a Tandy HX-1000 in 1991.

    That got old real quick.

    That was a great game for it's time, then there was Doom which is how I began to learn about local area networking.

    Far Cry on PC as well as the first and third Splinter Cell, man, I was awe-inspired and never got tired.
    The Witcher 1 was also a novelty at the time.

    I had this little hand held unit that had a small football game on it. Probably late 1960s or so.

    First one, I think was Pitfall (1982) in DOS, on a black and yellow screen.
    The first couple of games that i really enjoyed intensely were:
    Nemesis(1986) on Sony MSX/HitBit, originally known as Gradius(1985). A side-scrolling space-shooter that still holds up pretty well.
    The Great Escape(1986) on ZX Spectrum. Isometric 2.5D puzzle-adventure game, set in a WWII prison-camp, graphics aside, still exciting fun.
    The Pyramid(1984) on C64. The first game I owned. Loved it back then, now not so much... :D

    Thanks for nudging me to give these oldies another try!
