Some sort of educational game on a computer running DOS. It only had a few colours, and all I can remember is being terribly amused by the giant grin one of the characters had. There may also have been seahorses and starfish involved.

It loaded off a few floppies, but the smaller sort.

I've tried to find it before, but no luck. Anyone know it somehow?

First gaming memory: A Pong machine in a barber shop. Then came Asteroids, Galaxian, Pacman, and Donkey Kong. The shift to home gaming with the Atari 2600 is when my collection (and backlog) started. I"ll won't quit playing video games and messing with tech until it's game over for me...

On a computer?

Space invaders on a Commodore Pet in my high school's comp lab.

CRT's with eye-burning high contrast green on black. We'd shut the lights off in the lab after school and play till the custodian kicked everyone out around supper time. I probably got a lifetime's dosage of X-Rays off those tubes.

My earliest gaming memory is playing NES at my nonna's. She had a ton of games, but the 3 I remember are Super Mario Bros (what NES owner didn't have SMB?), Duck Hunt with the gun, and Hogan's Alley with the gun. Fun times. The NES gun was way ahead of its time.

Dragon Warrior on my NES. English is my second language (Spanish being my first one) and an aunt got me Dragon Warrior, in English, on a trip to the US. I was like 6 or 7 years old and I was so confused with the game but I still managed to finish it. That game helped me a lot in learning the language and it got me interested in the RPG genre =).

My earliest memory was on my older brother's Tandy computer. He used to subscribe to a service called Big Blue Disk and we would receive games/programs monthly. The game that got me hooked was a rpg dungeon crawler called Moraff's Revenge. Game was hard as shit, I don't think it was possible to beat... you just went deeper and deeper into the dungeon.

I'm probably too late, and unlike everyone else it wasn't a video game. I still remember sitting down with my grandfather and him teaching me how to play chess. Led me into a whole world I didn't know existed. He gave me different opening books and he encouraged me to join the chess club at our school. We still play now and then. Not enough though... not nearly enough. I think I'll give him a call.

My first memory actually is playing Super Nintendo with my dad. We got Super Mario and my 2 brothers, my dad, and I all played that for many hours with one level or 2 lives per turn. We also got a Terminator 2 game that was awful, hahaha.
