CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
What was your first video game?

I can't say what my first game was, especially if you count the learning video games of the 1980s, but the first I really remember well is "Burger Time" on the Texas Instruments and a parade of PC games... "SimCity," "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?," "SimTower," "SimEarth," etc etc.

I think my first game was probably Pong, actually...my great uncle had a set that only played that one game when I was little, and I used to really enjoy it.

I remember our family visiting friends who had Pong playing on the TV. This must have been the late 70s. I was instantly mesmerised.
Not long after that we got our own version of Pong, with the Sheen M-1200 Microprocessor Programmable TV Game, which was a clone of RCA Studio II. With that primitive console we also had Doodle, Pattern, Bowling, and Black Jack 1 & 2.
Then came the Atari 2600 which was unbelievably cool for the time. Those simple, primitive games held the attention of children just as much as modern titles which take teams of people and years of development to create.
Oh, and the kids back then really enjoyed their games through and through. Unlike games today which require 40+ hours to complete, and end up on the shelf uncompleted because the next best thing has arrived.
