Mine was Mario and duck hunt (Like I expect a lot of people), but I wonder what your first game was.

I had more fun as a kid with duck hunt than the first mario, but I was bad at platformers.

I remember playing games on a Commodore PET computer when I was 10-11 years old, had to be loaded up using a cassette player, took about 5 minutes and didn't always work. Haven't a clue what any of them would be called now.

But, first video game I remember loving was Lode Runner by Broderbund. Played it on a Apple II PC in the early 80's. I was lucky and had a free pre-release copy. My parents had started a computer business back then selling Apple computers and some IBM stuff as well. They listed me as their software guy so occasionally companies would send me free games to try out, which was awesome!
