First games I played:
Lemmings. I got bored of that to the end levels.
Buggy Boy, interesting.
Falcon. Boring after a while.
Summer Olympiad. I like the music.
Lotus racing game.
To me they are nothing much compared to Wolfenstein 3D.

First video game was Sonic the Hedgehog on the Master System. Still got it hidden somewhere, those were the days.

ha ha ha,...that kicks ass,..my first game system was an atari 2600 i had hooked up to a 13 inch black & white tv......theres something interesting about playing games in black and white.
ah, but you must remember that it was sonic who was the first to start this phenomenon. since sonic, every other imaginable cute, furry or loveable character has been rolling up into balls and bouncing around on the pinball board....such as mario, kirby, and pikachu,..just to name a few.
now,..if we could only get george lucas to make an ewok curl up into a pinball and bounce it around on a pinball board with yoda saying something like "tilt the board,..you must not"..and vader saying "most impressive"....when you do something radical

I remember playing Super Mario Brothers 2 on a 10cmx10cm black and white screen at a friends house, and playing old Amiga 500 games on a slightly larger black and green monitor at another friends house. Oh, the hard to see memories. The advantage of the black and white is that it was actually grayscale. The black and green only came in black and green.
I can remember as a child saying that I hate Wizards of War, but I can't remember why.

I actually didn't like it that much either, but I didn't mind Maybe that was because I always had to play against my mom, she was absolutely crazy about that one...

I remember playing educational games at grade school. I want to say it was an Apple Computer. The game went something like this: two race cars racing each other, you was one, the computer was the other car. you had to type random words such as "airplane" or "basketall" to make you car advance further down the side-scrolling track. if you mistyped a word, the computer threw another word at you for you to type, usually a much easier word than the one you goofed up on. meanwhile, the computer's car took a big leap ahead and left you in the digital dust as you tried to type away faster and faster to catch up to it.
sigh,...if only we could have been trained on "Typing of the Dead"...then im sure my typing skills today would be of such high caliber,..id probably be working as a court reporter for the U.S. Supreme Court.
and there was this other game in grade school. i dont remember it having any kind of educational benefit correlated to it, but it was damn fun. it was played a lot like Broderbund's "Hyperlode Runner"...but featured the main character as a chicken that climbed up and down a series of ladders,..i dont really remember what the chicken was trying to collect. Extra points to those that can provide me with a screen shot of the game im referring to.
by the way, Super Brothers 2 is an awesome game, but I love the Japanese version much better (Lost Levels)
