I think it was Pole Position on an Atari. I don't remember how old I was but I do remember playing the game.
It was Pac Man and I was hooked, don't do games any more have to write, constructing an interesting article is much like weaving your way through a challenge coarse in a game; game on.
Ah now I show my age. The first video game I ever played was Pong! We used to take trips from Wales to Grimsby with my parents - along the way we stopped at service stations (rest stops) and both myself and my brother begged for the 5 pence to play pong against each other! Great memories, and the start of 30 years worth of videogaming!
I believe it was the old version of Mario Brothers. It is amazing how much game systems have changed!
The original Space Invaders arcade cabinet. Yes, I'm that old.
I played Zelda as a kid, that was the very first game I ever played as a child. I stopped playing video games for about 15 years, and when I started playing again, I started with Rainbow 6 Black Arrow, which is how I met my husband.
Prince of Persia lol It was Awesome

I remember the first video game I ever played was back in the very early 80's and was called Berserk on the Atari system. lol Those were the days.
Pong! Calico Vision with the clanky padals and everything! My dad gave them to me when he thought i would be old enough to be trusted with them. My cat ate through the paddle's cords when no one was home! Ah well!
Im pretty sure it was either space invaders or frogger on the atari, was the best thing ever at the time.

Why did you stop playing a musical instrument?If you have previously learned an instrument, but have stopped playing - why did you stop? Do you miss it? What could inspire you to pick it back up?
