On this Day... Super Mario Bros. is launched!

On this day (September 13th) in 1985 the iconic Super Mario Brothers by Nintendo Entertainment Systems made their first appearance.


Which got me thinking...


Gaming has come such a long way in recent years but I still remember the first electronic game I played which was Atari's Pong back in the late 1970's. My favourite (and most addicted to cool) was Lemmings for the Commadore Amiga in the early 90's and then when smartphones came into being, I was one of the millions that downloaded the Angry Birds app (playing it endlessly on long flights or train journeys) and the mobile verson of Tetris (which I still play on occasion)


So tell me, what was your first computer game and what's your current or all time favourite? smiley

  • The first computer game I played was probably Hungry Horace or possibly the Breakout game that come on the demo cassette with the ZX Spectrum. Then I started typing them in from magazines and so on.

    I don't know about an all time favourite; different games for different seasons.  If I was pushed I'd probably have to go for Finders Keepers.  I also enjoyed Phoenix on the Atari, although it was no where near as good as the arcade version.
