I still have the very detailed drawing of all the rooms and links of Jet Set Willy which my son did after countless hours of obsessive playing.

For me it was Space Invaders on the Atari followed by Dungeon Master on the Amiga 500.

Oh, go on then... Here's my history in computers and games.
Spectrum 48k and 128k
Acorn Electron
Commodore Vic20, Amiga 500
Sega Master System, MegaDrive, GameGear, Saturn, Dreamcast.
Super Nintendo, Gameboy. Gameboy Pocket. Gameboy Advance x 3. GameCube. Wii, DS, 3DS, 3DSXL, WiiU.
NeoGeo Pocket.
Playstation 1, 2 & 4.
Xbox, Xbox 360
Various Sun workstations.
Far too many PCs.
Far too many Macs.
Lots of iPhones and iPods.
I've probably missed stuff too. No wonder I ended up making games for a living.

I must be a bit older than most on here, as I started with a zx81. Has to wait about 4 months for it to turn up, then another couple to get the 16k memory pack...
Seem to remember that there was a game on this which involved trying to escape a maze with a t-rex in hot pursuit.
In the 1k version, a basic program of more than a couple of screens filled it up. I ended up learning machine code (peeks and pokes) to try and fit stuff in....

That would be 3D Monster Maze. Quite an influential game.

Dungeon Master was awesome. You might of like Bards Tale as well.
My gaming history dates back to zx81 when my mum bought me one for £34.99 1k RAM wtf!
Racetrack was the first game I played on it. Basic isn't the word.
Followed by Spectrum 128, C64, beeb, Atari 1040ST, Amiga A500, PSone, Ps2, Xbox, 360, Xbox One.
Actually the last few consoles are my sons...honest.
I spend most of gaming time on MAME, you can't beat playing the actual ROMs ( not clones) from the old arcade classics. Ghost n goblins takes some beating, timeless classic.

Forgot one on my list, when everyone else went Atari, I had an intellivision. My first golf game was on that, there was also a dungeons and dragons game I loved

Was all of the MAME games for me, built my own cocktail cabinet arcade and added every arcade game I could remember. Ghosts and Goblins was the favourite though!

A picture paints a thousand words. This is from about 5 years ago.
The cave has become a storage room and all the stuff is packed away but plan to get it out again when I move house. (If the banks ever agree to a mortgage that is)

Awesome, is that a Traps E500 you have there as well? Used to have one but could never get a comfy set up so ditched them for a Yamaha DTX.

Now this was a console in its day. I remember tennis, squash and another game that used to ping a square to get rid of tiles above.
Binatone TV Master
Then Atari 2600
Spetrum 28K
Commadore
Atari ST
SNES
Sega Master System
Gave up after that.
Donkey Kong, Chuckie Egg wr the classics, plus original space invaders, try going to google images and type Atari Brekaout. Play a retro game there

When I was 14 I wrote a game that got accepted by a software house - signed a contract and everything.
They went bust before it came out - I am still digging through old tapes to see if I can find it.

Yeah it is. Frankensteined with an Alesis DM5 kit. All now in my attic. I'm tempted to switch it to an acoustic set though. Trigger design on the Traps e500 was really really poor. The New kits seem so much better but if I were to have the money I get a V-Drum kit in a heartbeat. A friend has an expanded roland TD-20 kit and it is awesome.
