[General Discussion] First gaming experience

I grew up with Atari everything. Atari 300, Atari 600, and so on. I remember occasionally playing with an Amiga, or a Commodore 64, and whatever the heck that one console was... Vectrex? I believe when I first started REALLY playing games though was when I played Millennium on our Atari ST. I got so good at that game, and that began the long, oft-repeated sequence of someone introducing me to a game, and then me playing it until I could play it better than them. After that came Deuteros, which I considered the "sequel." I also loved Joust, and M.U.L.E., and games like Purple Saturn Day, Day of the Viper (and of course Slaygon before that) Summer Games, Winter Games, California Games, Pirates!, Lemmings, Dungeon Master, Speedball, Arkanoid, Shufflepuck Cafe, Paperboy, Rampage, Klax, Todd's Adventures in Slimeworld, Star Raiders II, Gates of Zendocon, STUN Runner...

There were TONS. And two of my favorites that I can't even remember. One, you were the commander of a ship that you could fly to different planets and get out and fight things with your gun or lightsaber-esque weapon, gather items, etc, and along the way your ship gets boarded by aliens every once in a while, or hijacked, and you can never be sure if a room you wandered into just two minutes ago is safe to wander back into. It was a tough game but it was super rad.

And of course the classic classics. Pac-man, asteroid, pong... yeah.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
