This is gonna date me but I thought it would be interesting to know what your first Video game was and what platform was it played on.
First video game played.
For me it was in 1977. I was an 18yo country boy doing some tech training in the big smoke of Auckland, NZ. Starwars was about to hit the big screen.
I played an arcade game 8 bit b/w 11" screen that had an aircraft sight that shot a single ww2 German bomber down. This was a full 5 years before the Commodore 64 came out. Cost was equivalent to $2.80 US today... for 10 minutes.
First computer owned. Amstrad PCW in about 1987. Orange 11" screen in a built in case. Double 3 and 1/4" floppy drives, 256bytes of ram - no hard drive. Played Silent Service, a submarine simulator 8 bit video game designed by Sid Meier. Second was an IBM running Windows 2.0 with a 40 meg HDD.
