    Centipede on the Atari 2600. I loved it even if the joystick would pain my hands after a while

    Pong, on my TV through some device with wooden veneer and controllers that were just dials you turned left and right, no idea what it was called.

    It was a game called "Into the Eagles Nest" on the Spectrum 128k.

    Paratrooper was one of the first I remember playing on my Dad's laptop, probably back in 1992. I know he had a few of these arcade games, but this is the one I remember playing the most. This would've been closely followed by Wolfenstein 3D and then Doom not long after.

    First game I remember playing was either sonic on the SEGA Genesis which my cousins had at the time, or KirbysFunPak.

    It'd be a while later when I'd receive my own console, the SNES, and remember playing this bad boy:

    Excellent game!

    Roland on the Ropes on the Amstrad CPC.

    Such a glitchy game.
