Wow! You played far more games growing up then I did. =D
Guess I’m making up for it now. Hehe.
I should loan you the Prof Layton games for the DS. They are great fun and have some decent puzzles in them. Well more like Brain teasers really. =)

I was way too much of a bookworm to get too much into video games, but I had plenty that I loved and chose for myself. Getting hooked on tetris meant I got all the variants, facestris, welltris, wordtris, and blockout (3D tetris!). I also loved breakout, think quick, boulderdash construction kit and of course my favorite- Space Station Oblivion. My love of puzzle games was very evident from the beginning. Pretty much all PC games though, my dad worked for a computer store so I learned to use a computer early on. My brother moved to a Sega Master system when it came out, but I still stuck with my PC games until Phantasy Star.

Its funny, this game was not only my first, but also my only game for quite a while. Which means I dont really know about its contemporaries. My gaming has definitely expanded quite a bit ever since I had my own income. Makes a difference being able to purchase the games I would like. Then again if I had had more access as a child I might not have done anything besides play computer games. =)

Oh wow, I forgot all about this game. My brother had it and I played it a few times and enjoyed it. I think my first game of my own was probably Jump Joe (or Janitor Joe).

My first game was similar… but I think it was a Popeye game where you had to punch Bluto off the pier.

I dont think I ever actually played Pong, only later versions thereof. I wonder if its still possible to play the original.

I thought Pong might have been mine, but I think I would have reached for the Space Invaders or Combat (?) carts first. Flea market Atari, oh man that was a great day.

Diablo was actually an Angband rip off but whatever. Besides Adventure was just a D&D port. =P
