it was called "find the mole" and ran on a BBC computer

here's a review

before that point i had no idea that computer games existed and thought that a computer was a typewriter but on a tv screen instead of paper.

OH actually maybe i only played half of them because the flip side of the disk wouldn't load

We had a colecovision when I was very young, and I can remember playing Venture and Space Panic on that. I know that my parents used to take me with them to pizza joints earlier than that, and got me hooked on the standups there. Basically my parents are to blame for everything.

not much to say, i think our zapper was broken (we were poor and got everything used), so we didn't play it much when we got it, moved from that to super mario 2 p fast (i played princess because her hover was really friendly for a stupid kid that didnt know how to play videogames yet)

This thread is basically just for making us reveal that we're all either way too young or way too old to be posting about video games.

Also my first was Duck Hunt on my older cousin's NES. The first game I ever owned that wasn't a pack-in with my NES was Motherfuckin' Bubble Bobble.

But then the second game was some Sesame Street game that my grandparents got for me.
