Out of curiosity, which one of these games did you play first? Not the first game you *ever* played necessarily, but of *these* games, which one was the first that you played?
(eg, the first game you ever played might be Warlords, but it's not on this list. After that, maybe you played Centipede. If so, vote for Centipede)
:lol:

Pong, technically, though it was a Odyssey 1 so it was tennis or some such.

Pong. In a cocktail version in Kinney's Cafe restaurant in Mangilao, Guam. My older sister beat me and we had to go back and ask for another quarter. :P
The rest were all played in order of release. :)

I think the first game I ever played was Donkey Kong at a hotel in Bournemourth. It was either that or Pacman.

I can't remember whether it was Space Invaders or Asteroids on my Dad's tandy. It cost, like, $5,000 dollars, but it was worth it because it had a 45meg harddrive.

Donkey Kong was a favorite of mine at Pizza Hut (the only reason I went in there besides the "Book It" coupons). The tabletop Pacman was a close second though. I'm mostly sure I played Donkey Kong first, so I gave it my vote.
I assume "Ms. Pac-Man" counts as Pac-Man. It was 1983 at the MSP Intl Airport after we saw my mom & aunt off to Boston. My cousin just walked up & started playing & I was like "hmm, what's THIS?!" & it kinda spiraled out of control from there!

Space Invaders on my *brand-new* Atari!
(It was 1 of only 3 cartridges: Combat, Breakout, Space Invaders)

As far as I can remember it was Space Invaders on the 2600 from this list either that or Pac Man on the 2600 which sucked ass!

I believe that in my case, it was Donkey Kong on my uncle's Colecovision. Not my oldest memory of videogames, but I never got to play much till I was in grade 4 (1985). (My oldest memory is the Burgertime arcade game in a rollerskating rink, circa 1983)

My first videogame was Pong at the Garden State Bowling Alley in Union NJ in 1972. A friend of mine owned an Odyssey (and still does) but I don't think I played it until after I played Pong.

every year when i was about 6 -10, my dad would breakout the atari 2600 from the crawlspace. Im pretty sure the first game he let me play was Asteroids, because it was his favorite.
