Chilly Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) I think it was one of those old ms dos based space quest games, but honestly I was really young. it may have also been super mario brothers on NES Edited September 27, 2012 by BlueFire
kegtapr Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 You guys ever "play" Oregon Trail on the computers in school? Now that was a game! Of course, "You have died of dysentery". Bonus points to the kids who named their characters swear words who forever appeared on the tombstones in the game.
K-9 Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Pin the Tail on the Mastodon. Hey, cave paintings were video back in the day.
Mike In Illinois Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 Not sure which game but it was on an Atari 7800 system. Early games I remember playing were Football, Asteroids, Enduro.
KD in CA Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) What came with the Atari 2600? I remember playing Asteriods but I don't think that was included. Combat came with the unit. My library included: Combat, Breakout, Space Invaders, Astroids, Adventure, Superman, Warlords, Defender, Berzerk, ET, Yars Revenge. Later, Activision had some good ones like Pitfall, Donkey Kong and Frogger. But my first was Pong. You could also play soccer and tennis! Edited September 27, 2012 by KD in CT

One of the earliest games I can recall that we had a lot of fun with was Circus Atari.
Mark Vader Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 The first game I played in an arcade was Space Invaders. The first game I played at home was Combat on the Atari 2600.
Just Jack Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 , ET, We also had the infamous ET game.
DC Tom Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 I remember hearing about that game. Most obnoxiously crass game ever. I believe someone ported it to the web, so you can play it in a browser now. Don't know why you'd want to...
shrader Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 I couldn't tell you what the first game was, but it would have been either on the intellivision or the colecovision. So I did enjoy that first story in the link. The rest were a bunch if kids.

NO! I did NOT touch the !@#$ing side making me fall to the bottom of the pit again! River Raid was always my favorite 2600 game.

ajzepp Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 We should organize some Atari 2600 competitions for TBD'ers

Just Jack Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 We should organize some Atari 2600 competitions for TBD'ers I wish I still had ours, my parents gave it to one of those "salvation army/rescue mission" type stores since all us kids said we didn't want it, and EBay wasn't around yet. We had around 30-40 games and numerous controllers for it.
shrader Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 The first one was me... Well then nice work. You had my attention the second I saw the picture. I spent more than my fair share of time on each of those games you listed except the last one, which I've never heard of. Oh, and thanks to you, I have that B17 bomber voice stuck in my head.
Acantha Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 As far as I can remember it was space invaders. Maybe one of the other 2600 games of the time. Fun times. My library included: Combat, Breakout, Space Invaders, Astroids, Adventure, Superman, Warlords, Defender, Berzerk, ET, Yars Revenge. Later, Activision had some good ones like Pitfall, Donkey Kong and Frogger. Holy crap, I've been trying to remember the name of Bezerk forever. Every time this subject comes up I try to get someone to remember that game, and nobody can. That damn smiley face used to piss me off!
