I dont care, Ill humour you
The first actual pc game I bought was Doom for my 486 that someone gave me

 

[S-Gray]

i cant remember totally, but i think it was Red Alert, on my Win95 machine.

Then i went from game to game, noticed Quake3 Arena and played that for months, then i found Counterstrike and ive been playing it for over a year heh

First game I ever played on a home computer was super space invaders, on a commodore pet. Then we got a vic-20, and radar-rat-race was the in-game.

 

[Embattle]

So so long ago I can't remember.

Scoobydoo for my C64

No idea, I think it was Manic Miner or Way of the Exploding Fist for CBM64.

 

[S-Gray]

ohh, i thought he was talking about which PC Game did i first play... my first Computer game itself was i "think" Ghostbusters for the C64 or Atari (cant remember which), and maybe Thomas the Tank... so long ago heh

Nah commodore pet was out before the zx81, and the zx80! I was playing games on it (and writing a few in BASIC) in 1980!

My fave game pre-pc must be international karate + (3 guys)

Didn't anyone have one of those Bontempi tennis/football/Light Gun consoles in the 1970's? I did

 

[1tchy trigger]

Now you come to mention it - yes I did - the controls were dials to move the flippers in pong

 

[Maljonic]

I remember when I got mine, I couldn't get my granny to understand that when she moved the dial the bat moved up and down on the screen; the technology was too mind boggling

 

[Embattle]

My gran had a go on Road Rash once

Yep I had one of the first ones If you had 2 paddles it was Tennis, and 4 was football lol.
I remember when Space Invaders first came out people spent fucking fortunes on it !

 

[Stazbumpa]

Horace Goes Skiing on the rubber keyed ZX80, now beat that yer bastards. Or was it a Space Invaders clone by Quicksilver?

 

[Maljonic]

Not to be padantic, but I believe the above mentioned Bontempi predates any version of spectrum by a number of years
