The first game you played?

My first was pong in a shack in Llandudno North Wales on a piss wet afternoon.

Can't remember exactly when but it cost 2d, so it must have been during either pre-decimalisation or during the change over.

tempest in butlins when i was a kid.

Boot Hill in weymouth 1977 was my first arcade play on the pier , just couldn't stop playing it , that and sea wolf (had to stand on the block of wood to see).

It was Pontoon on a Fairchild Channel F when I was about 5/6 years old (178/79???).  My dad had picked one up from somewhere and brought it home.  We only had two cartridges and as I remember we spent more time with those bizzare triangle headed controllers in pieces on the coffee table as my dad tried to fix them than actually using them.  It not only started me on the slippery slope of video games but thanks to my dads fustrations taught me more swear words that I could use in a lifetime - sigh - thanks dad.

later they changed the cab for a defender one, then galaga.

A lovely big 4 player Gauntlet I think was my first arcade experience at school lunch time in the youth club, the fights that used to break out if you got the food before someone else.  They had a double dragon in there too. 

One of the first time I went to a proper arcade was in Brighton on my own I remember seeing Streetfighter 2 I was half way through a game and some tall scarey looking bloke came over and put a load of money and then just stood away from the machine.  Bit a bit naieve I thought he was been friendly and had put the money in for me and he didn't take kindly to me pressing the continue button when I was beat.  Luckily I legged it before he gave me his own streetfighter moves.

console - atari pong standalone

computer - impossible mission on vic20

arcade - Caterpillar at the local leisure center

 

I really can't remember the first coin-op - I think it may have been Pac Land. I would have been really young.

Balls, this is upsetting actually, its something I'd like to remember!

I remember the first videogame I played (console) which was Donkey Kong on the NES.

mine was galaxian but i dont know when it was on my first holiday abroad so it must have been early 80s

Well I think it was Sprint the original B/w version.   You know the black car...white car... ;-) Then I have wicked memories of Moon Patrol ;-) damn that was a kool game

Gotta love bars.....and Malls ;-)
