A self typed shooting game on the ZX80, You were a static block at the bottom centre of the screen, a second block moved across the top of the screen and you pressed a single key to shoot it! You got one point for each hit and it never ended or changed

It was either Manic Miner, some text-based adventure game or this weird F1 racing game (hideously detailed) on my BBC 
On the PC it was probably either Myst, Zool or Lotus Challenge (or, scratch that, minesweeper!)

)First game I can ever recall playing at home was some top down car racing game (a la Super Sprint) on the Phillips G7000 thing. Must have been about 79/80.
First computer game, can't remember exactly, but was either Tranz Am, Jetpac, Harrier Attack or Manic Miner on the Speccy 48k xmas 1982.
First Atari ST game, Kick Off 2 Final Whistle, lost a lot of my life to this

Alex Kidd was the first game I ever completed.
It'd be "Adventure" on a very old Atari someone kindly gave to me when I was about five. The main character was a small white square, and the gameplay was very basic, but at that age I loved it. I've been hooked on games ever since.

I think it was Chuckie Egg or perhaps Roland On The Ropes on the Amstrad CPC464 with Green Screen

The shooting duck game on the nintendo.

That would be Duck Hunt.sniffy said:
I think from memory, there was a remake of that game which allowed you to shoot that annoying dog.

Tennis (pong) on a binatone for me, also had a great gun with it

Pong variants on either a Telstar Alpha or Binatone console thingy. It was a while ago (probably about 30 years) so I can't remeber exactly.
First home computer game was 3D Grand Prix on a zx81 I just found a link to it and it looks fantastic still
