3D Monster Maze on the ZX81

Space Invaders on the old table top machine in Trebanos Working Men's Social Club. 1p a game, but the older boys hogged the machine, so we used to stand around for hours watching them beat each other's high score. The old men used to tut in the corner about "bleeding beeping noises" and Margaret Thatcher!!!

You have told me that your first game was some shooting game :rolleyes:

PC -Ultima Underworld - Me and my mate played it non stop for a weekend keeping ourselves alive on a combination of delivered pizzas, booze and drugs.

However, before then it had to be Elite on the BBC Micro.

Happy Days with the wobbly 16K RAM pack

Chucky Egg springs to mind on the BBC Micro but there were several arcade ports that were good to play. Revs and Aviator were also up there too along with the obvious BBC hit Elite. Couldn't put those in to any real chronological order to say which was first

Pc - Age of Empires at my dads old office

Console - Goldeneye! Years of not really being into consoles turned the day I played it the first time and was amazed, even my dad was on christmas when I got one

golden axe

These are the first PC games that impressed me:

Snipes!
http://www.textmodegames.com/download/snipes.html
I played this for hours on end... you could bounce bullets off walls to shoot around corners, awesome!

Round42
http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Round_42.html
I played this obsessively until I finally reached round 42.

Digger
http://takegame.com/arcade/htm/digger.htm
I was addicted to this for ages... and the music was 'popcorn':

Elite on the BBC Micro B and SWoS on the Amiga.

Probably Phoenix on the Atari 2600.
