What was the first game you played that made you get into gaming?

Mine was the original Star Wars arcade game

{Ed001's Note - it was a game for the Speccy 48k. I got it as a Christmas prezzie with a bundle of games, mostly crap like, but this one compilation tape of games had one the whole family gathered round the TV to play and it was a great laugh that first Xmas. It was called something like 'The Race' and was just stick figures in a 100m sprint race. There were six of them, each a different colour, and you just bet on one of them. It was only fun when there were a group playing it, as a game on its own, played solo, it was awful, but that first Xmas was enough to get me hooked.}

I went to this holiday camp in Christchurch years ago, they had an arcade down by the water front, I remember playing House of the Dead 1 and Time Crisis 1 for hours! Great times.

{Ed001's Note - I loved those old gun games. They were more fun than the COD-type FPS games.}
