Oh, wow, ok. This is a trip in the wayback machine! Back when there were arcades everywhere (Aladdin's Castle was the main one in our area), we spent countless hours playing Pac Man and Donkey Kong at the skating rink, and went to the arcade on the weekends when our dad would take us.Endurium wrote...
Do share! Pong fascinated me because it was the first time I was able to control what was happening on the TV - an entirely new concept. Thus began my gaming hobby, slowly at first, but it kicked into full gear when I obtained a C-64 and later a PC.
At home, we had an Atari with the standard joystick and one red button (can you imagine that now?). We played Pong, along with Asteroids, Battlezone, Yar's Revenge, Centipede, and Frogger. There are probably more, but that part of my brain is pretty dusty. I do remember that we had a Curtis Mathes console TV that we had the Atari hooked up to, kinda like this. It was ridiculous.
I never did have my own Commodore, but my grandpa did, so I used to play stuff on there. I seem to remember that there was a magazine of sorts that he subscribed to that contained code to create programs. I did some of that, but that was about the extent of it.
My first 'pc', many years later, was actually a Mac. At that time, it was pretty tough to find hybrid games, so most of what I played were adventure games, like Myst, Riven, Syberia, The Longest Journey, etc.

Oh cool, I figured that would've been bundled with the system. Probably helped increase its popularity a bit. I can't recall ever beating it though. I started playing Sega Genesis, NES and other SNES games around the same time I played StarFox.Arcadian Legend wrote...
@Reezy I remember our SNES was bundled with Starfox, though it's called Starwing over here. They called Starfox 64 Lylat Wars too.

Awesome! The magazine you were thinking of was possibly COMPUTE!'s Gazette for Commodore machines, or its parent magazine for multiple platforms, COMPUTE! I had a subscription to the Gazette for a number of years and had discs full of programs I'd typed in. haha.
My grandfather had an Atari 2600 with a bunch of games so we enjoyed that when we visited. As a family, we had the Magnavox Odyssey II in the late 70s/early 80s. My circumstances prevented me from having an Amiga or Mac, but later I did get the first real gaming PC with EGA (16 colors!) video. lol
It's been a lot of fun watching technology mature, and I certainly still love gaming today.

My first real game was then in the early 90's, when my father decided to buy a PC (a 386SX-25), the Prince of Persia from 1989. Never had a console, only a Game Boy.

I remember beating Starwing on the Easy route, but never got past the second to last level of the Medium route. Also dat credits sequence.
