I think it was river raid on 2600.
In the arcades it was quix.
But the most addictive and still is today was Kronis Rift on the c64.

River Raid I remember that one wow that was a great game , I remember the whole family getting involved with that one

Hmmm... I remember spending an afternoon at my babysitter's house and he kept me (very) occupied with these three games:

Lode Runner

Zaxxon

And the all-time favorite *cough* Frogger.

(thank god I had a child's imagination back then)

My first PC game was Ultima 7 - and wow, did it blow me away!

When I was 6 or 7 dad came home with a wood effect Atari 2600. So, I suppose Space Invaders was my first real video game. I'd played pong but it never held my attention. Space Invaders though, I worked out that if I switched the console off and on really fast the tank shot 2 bullets instead of 1..magic!!

Anybody play a game called Hounded on C64, that had me hooked at a young age. I used to leave the poor C64 running for weeks at a time with that one.

The greyhound racing one? Yeah I played around with that one for a while, wasnt bad considering the type of game it was.
