Space Invaders on an Atari console (Pong was on a cartridge with other older games).
Defender was my favourite because I could clock it, scoring the maximum and back round to zero -- I'm still bragging! :dance:
Replaced with a NES, acquired from the bins of a local manufacturer that Nintendo subcontracted assembly to in the UK.
Donkey Kong, then
Donkey Kong Jr were the best. They'd throw out any system with a faulty parts, so we'd raid their giant bins to bring back loads and assemble working systems for ourselves, or anyone who wanted to buy one. I still have a scar on my forehead from being chased by a security guard and running full-speed, head-first, into a barbed wire fence.
Friends running behind me said it looked great. :lol:
That was replaced with a Commodore 64:

I never got past those pale bulbous eyes starting at me :crybaby:
@ 6 mins: Oh, WAIT
four times then wear the ring! :angry4:
Favourite game on the C64 was
Revenge of the Mutant Camels. So surreal and by far the most subversive game I ever played, it couldn't be done now as development costs make it such a corporate business. A lot of
River Raid and
Mission Impossible on the C64 too.
A long adolescent interlude before student days around a Sega Mega drive playing endless hours of
EA Ice Hockey -- Washington vs Montreal for the 1000th time and beating the crap out of each other (and the controllers);
FIFA International Soccer up to
FIFA '97 which had 6-a-side indoor soccer too, still making it one of the coolest soccer games ever.
PS1 and PS2 were all about
Pro Evolution Soccer and importing the original Japanese versions called
Winning Eleven which were released earlier than the Europe/North American
PES editions, customising those with patches to get authentic kits, chants, advertising etc. I didn't think an XBox or PS3 were worth it (region control seemed stricter and patching uncertain), so that was Game Over for me.
