The first video game I ever played was Pong. We've come a long way since then.

First one I ever played was an early version of what became Pac-Man. Same basic idea except it was missiles chasing an airplane around the maze. That was in Korea in the mid-70s.

I played "Adventure" (or "Colossal Cave Adventure"), running on <mumble>'s mainframe, in the 1970's via a friend's in-home terminal. It was mildly addicting.
The same fellow also had a flight simulator program for his home-built personal computer; that so-called game took over 30 minutes to load via floppy disk. It was utterly awful; there were no graphics to speak of beyond some terrible ASCII stuff, and it was as abysmally slow to run as it was to load. I can't find any references to it online which strikes me as fitting. |

I remember a similar Commodore 64 game where you were in a building and a bomb was going to go off soon. You could either try to leave the building or find and defuse the bomb. I don't recall ever "winning" that game. Always got blowed up.

I had a Commodore 64 and I really liked it. It was my 2nd computer. The 1st one was a Timex-Sinclair 1000. With the Timex-Sinclair, I had to load programs with a cassette player/recorder. I had a cool (and crude) flight simulator that took 6 minutes to load!

The only other thing I would add is that a physician on match will be a little like pouring blood in the water with sharks around. Is there any profession with higher prestige?

Me also. Amazed in college going into the computer room. A whole room required for a computer that probably would be out gunned by a modern cell phone.

One I remember fondly was Jumpman for the C64. Was released for several other platforms, including cartridge for ColecoVision. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumpman_(video_game) |
