My first computer game I played was in fact pong on the original Atari, (shows how old I am
) and the first computer game I owned was an Intellivision console with Space Battles, Tron, Skiing and Football cartridges, after that I played on friends ZX81 and Spectrums until I once asked for my own computer and was bought an
Oric Atmos (WTF? I hear you say, and I was the same) there were no games for this, only a handbook for programming in BASIC for it. I spent hours copying some of the games from the book onto the computer and then saving them onto cassettes only for them not to work and then I had to spend a few more hours going through the code line by line correcting my errors until they worked. Then the games were rubbish, such as a fruit machine type game
I soon gave up on this. Eventually I got my own PC approximately 10 years ago and I haven't looked back since. (Although I have had NES, SNES, Sega Master Systems, Megadrives, Sega Saturns, Playstations and PS2s over the years, the PC is still my favourite
)
