LMAO If peeps , no disrespect , are coming up with Coleco, im in trouble, as have alot of other guys owned almost all platforms.

Picture this when the Atari ( 2600 I think ) was KING lmao you could go to a store and TRY the game before you bought it, i would sit there and evaluate how good the game looked and played before spending $30

... if you lived in the UK & your parents could'nt afford an Atari ...
... this was your first console ......

... yes... horrible!... many a childhood dream was shattered on xmas day when the wrapping paper came off and the box said Grandstand instead of Atari ...
... and yes ... that is a genuine hint of bitterness you detect, three decades later! ...

... the misery was compounded in my case when the goddamned thing bust before the end of January and they had no replacements at the shop ...
... spent much of my early years round my mate's next door playin asteroids on his 2600 ...

It was Infocom that lured me in with Wishbringer and then Pong sealed the deal.

I think Space Invaders might've been my first electronic game, though I played pinball games before that. Then my dad bought an Atari... I actually don't remember what games he got with it, but there were 4 or 5, and eventually we had a couple dozen. We never got a home computer but I played games on my friends' computers, both Commodore and Apple... I remember playing Temple of Apshai pretty early on, and Infocom games. In fact, I didn't own my own home computer until 1990, when I finally managed to get, don't laugh, a C128 because the price went down after the Amiga came out.

First multiplayer game was on the university-based PLATO system, eventually I got into MUDding and MUSHing, though, starting on my Commodore and then moving to a PC.

I eventually bought a console specifically to play FF8 and Parasite Eve. Specifically, I bought a Playstation... about a year before the PS2 came out. Which I then bought brand new, along with FFX.

Cutting edge, I am not, but sequels I tend to get new if I've got the money. (Which I did then, don't now.)

Adventure (precursor to Zork) on the TRS-80. Then came Star Trek ... lots of fun.

my first electronic game? damn... atari 2600 pong... asteroids... something like that.

My first Internet game was a MUD called Darkshadow's Diku mud. Long since been flatlined into the trashbin of dead muds

[Heinous]

Ahhh, MUDs. I miss them from time to time.

Pac man I reckon. Did the 2600, too many to remember. Trade Wars is my most memorable first online game, LORD, other BBS games. Then muds were some kinda awesome, just amazing it being in real time, with real people rather than day based turns.

I remember being so jazzed about both the jump to BBS games and interaction, then the jump to real time. Those two gaming milestones rank right up there to when I plugged in my Monster3d and say GL Quake for the first time and said "wow" out loud.

Lots of innovations since, but none that rank with those three for pivotal sort of things, even voice chat plays second tier to those.

first game? Cripes I've been playing games so long I don't remember..
Lets see.. one of the earliest I remember was.. Mother Goose Land.. or something like that - I forget the actual name. I just remember it was one where you walk around, find things and give them to the correct nursery rhyme characters and fix the world up. Or something like that.
I got to play on my friends Sega a few times.. the original Sonic and the Asterix game and such like..
but the games I remember most were the Sierra eco-quest games, the castle of Dr. Brain, the Island of Dr. Brain, and a bunch of other games like that.
yeah. playing games and learning at the same time XD
Still. They were fun.
