>The first computer game I owned...
That's a toughy. Maybe Test Drive? I needed titles that would run with
SimCGA, and warezd Montezuma's Revenge, and demo/freeware stuff that was
mostly scrolling shooters similar to Defender in gameplay. There were some
surprisingly good and addictive fully graphical games. Actually owning a
computer game implied the huge initial hardware investment though, which did
not happen till well after I'd left home.
