We all love playing games on our computer, its a time pass with lots of fun. Online games have been so much popular that we can earn money while playing. I would like to know which is the first game played(developed) on the history of computer world.

Wikipedia tells me that the first generation of computer game were text-based games. The first ever game was Microchess. Second was Spacewar!.

It is an old school game but not the first one ever, although my dad still plays it. I liked to play Daves too, and it was old school also.

I understood the the first video game was 'pong' a simple bat and ball game, one bat at each side of the screen and a ball which bounced between , scors a point of your opponent misses, I'd not concidered the possibility of a text based game before it, it would certainly have been the choise given the abilities of computers at the time. The Pong game had to have some special hardware just to play it. PacMac and Space Invaders would have been the earliest games I can remember we saw them in the arcades pretty early on. I think if you look up the MAME emulator you shuod be able to satify you need for retro gaming - enjoy.

The very first game i played on the computer was Galactica.. I was so young at that time I was so amazed with the graphics and how the aliens capture your spaceship. It was the first time then that I saw and used a joystick for a computer.. oh well, those were the dinosaur age days for me.. =)

I remember my first game that I played on the computer was Pinball. That was before I moved on to console and online games.

The first game that I ever played on a desktop computer was Pinball. LOL, back in the days, where computer games where not that of a fad on desktop computers, it’s users prefer the pre-installed games on the computer including Pinball and some card games such as Solitaire and Hearts.
