I think road rash from EA sports. That's the one I remember as the earliest at least.What was the first non-arcade video game you played, and what system did you play it on?
Mine was tennis/hockey/handball on the Coleco Telstar.

Road Rash was a pretty good game.
Though, i liked Twisted Metal better.
I loved that game. I played it on Sega Genesis.
I remember there was a Space Invaders and a Pac-Man machine at Country Cupboard up the street from my high school. Every day at lunch, I and some friends would walk up there and play. I wasn't so good at Pac-Man, but I rocked Space Invaders.
But since we're talking arcade games (I started high school in 1980) my two favorites were Tempest and Star Wars. Those were the days where you would put your initials in and it would show the top scorers. I was alway #1 on the Tempest game and was in the top 3 at Star Wars.
I remember there was a Star Wars game in the Air Force tech school rec room at Lowery that the back panel was loose on and you could click a switch that would run up the game credits. I played that game for hours at a time.

Oh you're right! I had forgotten Pac Man. That came before Space Invaders, didn't it?
(Apologies for taking the thread off-piste. I'll shut up now.)

Same. Or Space Invaders. Not sure which was first.
Space Invaders came out two years before Pac-Man.
Yeah, but I still have fond memories of it.
We had the flat table version of this in the bar where I worked. It was continuously occupied.What was the first non-arcade video game you played, and what system did you play it on?

Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Now you're talking!
Twisted Metal is one of my all-time favorites for car combat games involving psychopaths and their lethal vehicles.
I love the storyline as well and all the back stories of each of the characters.
My favorite will always be Sweet Tooth.
If I recall correctly, it was early 80's with Pong, Defender and something with tanks that may have been Combat. On the Atari system.
My brother and I figured out how to express "potty humor" with the latter much to my mother's chagrin. Dad thought it was funny.
I also remember that I didn't realize that Defender had a setting for a very easy to win version and that same brother let me think I was getting really good at it and then would switch to the more difficult version and beat me every time until I figured out what was up.

When I started playing MK I chose Scorpion as my main character to play because SubZero was the most played character.
Then Scorpion got popular so i switched over to Shang Tsung.
Though he is one of the most difficult characters to master, it is well worth it.
Then I was introduced to Killer Instinct.
My favorite character is Glacier.
Then I got my hands on Bloody Roar.
Cant remember his name, but he is the Mole dude.

Mine was California Games on a DOS pc back in the 80's. I have no idea what the specs of the pc were. I only remember it had no internal harddrive and everything was done with floppy disks.What was the first non-arcade video game you played, and what system did you play it on?
Mine was tennis/hockey/handball on the Coleco Telstar.
The game I later wasted many more hours on on that same machine was Leasure Suite Larry. It came on several floppy disks and at semi-random times in the game it would tell me to put in "disk nr 1/2/3"
Man, those screenshots take me back.........
Descent
On the PC in 1996
It took me hours to work out that I had to press the A key to move myself forwards
The Level 7 boss traumatised me, I could not get past it and its companions
I still have nightmares about it to this day, and it was hellish, it lived in a huge room full of lava
