My First

[granz]

I'm pretty sure that my father got us an Atari Pong, when I was a young kid. But, I remember almost nothing about it.

The first "video game" that I remember is Star Trek (https://github.com/RayKV423/Star-Trek-for-HP-2000)

While my school did have one "glass teletype", most of the time, I played this on an old ASR-33 Teletype.

I remember when good games came on a floppy disk. Really good games required two disks. These days, you're downloading 20+ GB of data per game (the games I play, anyway).

Well, actually that game was already loaded onto our school's computer. I never really thought about where it came from, but later on found that it was included in the Hewlett-Packard standard library for Time-Share BASIC (TSB.)

I once took a printed copy of Hammurabi I believe it was and hand typed it into GW Basic and it took me several hours to type it and after playing it a few times I went to load it and accidentally typed save instead of load and overwrote the code, I was very sad.

Ouch! That smarts - I don't remember you doing that. Apparently it was traumatic enough that you remember it.

The School of Hard Knocks has very high tuition, but very high success in graduates.

Ouch... Imagine trying to type code in for something like Fallout 76... lol that'd be one SERIOUS rage quit!

My first was playing a text based game on Penn States server in one of the computer labs. My senior year I got access to the Electrical Engineering Computer Lab and was able to play Flight Simulator (Vector based) using a floppy drive and dos 3.3 in the other drive on a IBM PC with two disk drives and a CGA monitor. The lab did have a computer with one of the new EGA monitors released only to universities and a 5 MB hard drive. That was for for grad students use only. ...Those were the days.

What games do you play these days? I'm pretty much playing World of Warcraft, exclusively these days.

It's been a while since I played any game's (talking months so super long). I've been playing a lot of Minecraft the last few years but I play a lot of other games too. I really love Halo the Bungie ones, I'm not a fan of 343 they suck at story lines. Legends of Zelda really sucks me in I per-ordered TOTK that's the only game I've ever done that. Those are my three favorites but I also like The Sims, Timber Born, Surviving Mars, Subnautica, Age of Empires, Empire Earth, Old School RuneScape, Luigi's Mansion, Jedi Fallen Order, Assassin's Creed, and a lot more.
