Asteroids on the Vectrex! These... consoles I guess you could call them... attract a hefty price tag these days if you can find them apparently.

Paradroid was a great game - a simple concept, relatively simple gameplay, but fantastically challenging.

The first game I played would have been on a mate's 2600 - he had several games, but the one I most remember was asteroids.

hmm first ever game i played? back circa 1980 TRS-80 Model 1 Mk1 computer game haunted house. was text based. was another couple same time one egyptian and another that actually did have graphics if u wanna call it that on the old monochrome screen. each pixel was approx 1cm per side. After that went to atari and the usual assortment of games. Then from there to Sega master system and amiga 500,600, 1200 before finally coming over to pc game wolfenstein on an old 286 16mhz.

Pong was my first game when I was about 10 or so. My dad had a telestar and I hooked it up and played the 4 games.
