May be showing my age a bit, but my first was Pong (home version), then ATARI with all the game cartridges...that was heaven! Even as intense and realistic as today's games are...in a lot of ways, I think I liked the old ones better. Oh and my favorite game on Atari was asteroids.

SrA Jeff Campbell, did you say waste?? You might want to consider your words carefully. Wasteful productivity is a better term!

I've never been a console fan. I played Asteroids and Defender in the arcades, but the home console never appealed to me. The PC, however, changed my opinion after I played Wolfenstein and Wing Commander.

Did you know that Wolfenstein was banned in Germany for a while because it gave Germans bad name?

I loved the original Wolfenstein! Never really got into the sequels and add ons though.

I loved Wing Commander Series and played them all. PC Games are always better you just need to upgrade sometimes.
