    Sam and Max Hit the Road was my first game, and it was very memorable. The new one comes out soon. Yay.

    A-ha! The old tried and tested technique of buying someone a present you know you'll like more than they do.

    One I've used myself on several occasions.

    I think the first computer game I ever played was trek, on a friend's dad's Kaypro.

    After that, it was a long dry spell until Ultima IV (again at a friend's house -- I stayed up all night, far after he went to bed).

    But the first game I ever bought for my own computer was Dungeon Master for the Atari ST.

    My first game was either Balderdash or Gauntlet, both played on My XT 8086 (The first MS-DOS PC?)

    Well my first game ever was Mario on the Nintendo which I was instantly addicted to. The first game I remember playing on the computer was EF-2000 (Eurofighter) a combat flight sim game, which was quite advance for me considering I was about 10-11 years old at the time.

    I think it was frogger for me. Played it forever until I got a spectrum and operation wolf took over. My first P.C game though was x-wing back in '93.
