Schneider Euro PC, IIRC Accolade’s Grand Prix Circuit was the first game I’ve seen running on it.

We had a TI-99, or something similar when I was really young. I remember playing Alpiner anyway. But the NES was the main console of my childhood. That and playing PC games on DOS from floppy disks before Windows came along. Seems like the stone age but I’m not that old, dag nabbit!

I started playing games on my family computer and I believe the first game i played was prince of persia sands of time.
For consoles it was the gameboy advance and then i got a wii.

Yesterday I was crawling through my dungeon (cleaning the cellar), when upon defeating a nasty spider I’ve received these things…
Now I need a spider to drop the power cord. RNG be damned!
P.S. that box full of comics weights 130 lb (60 kg). I don’t know how I’ve been able to move that stuff years ago. I was probably younger and properly fit. All this digging crushed both my body and my soul

First system played was a PC - an Apple II GS to be specific. Played all the kids learning games like Reader Rabbit, Mavis Bacon Teaches Typing, Paperboy, King’s Quest, eventually Oregon Trail (the game that taught me all you need for survival is a few thousand bullets and a lot of luck).
First “real” computer was a DEC Alpha dual-boot for my father’s home office that crucially ran an early flavor of Windows NT 3. This allowed a true game like Civilization 2 to be played - Dad gifted to his 3 sons, proceeded to spend rest of Christmas with all 4 of us crammed around his desk with us kids shooed to bed around midnight by Mom…wake up Dec 26th to find Dad still playing with entire continents covered in railroads, farmland, and oceans of ships to harass the AI into submission. That was the Christmas I learned - gifting 4X strategy games are a blessing and a curse.

Thanks, but I’m confident it’s hidden somewhere… maybe.
For now I’ll keep it and if it works I’m gonna use it 
Damn, the controller is so stiff. I’ve also found my old PS2 first model (uber expensive) and a fat Gameboy.

I already showed my age a little with my other post about Paratrooper (https://206.81.1.216/t/do-you-remember-the-first-game-you-ever-played/4003/19?u=happycabbage) but I was sort of lucky that my mum was a typing teacher before it was any use to anyone but secretaries. As such we had one of these in the house:
Now some of you might recognise that as the glorified typewriter it truly was. But yep, it actually had games for it too. Some of them really quite good, like Head Over Heels:
The list of computers I’ve owned / played since then would constitute something of an essay. I still have a mint condition Philips CD-I and a fistful of games. Awful machine but led to some awesome stuff (Sony were collaborators on the CD-I and its said the PS1 wouldn’t have happened without the R&D that went into the doomed CD-I for one thing).
Fun story; me and my brother used to play Palm Springs Golf on that travesty of a machine. When I got my HTC Vive, I got Golf Club VR for it. Hearing he was visiting, I set up the CD-I and challenged him to a round. I thought it would be great to illustrate how far tech has come. So I moved him straight from that to the VR Golf Club. Cannot think of a better contrast for demonstration purposes
