Well, there are newer, different versions than the first one back then, but, again, I doubt that the game of cricket would be anyone's first video game, anyway.
Except those old arcade TV games, my first PC game was Zeus: Master of Olympus, or probably Ice & Fire, that weird "shooter" from the Windows 95 PC Games CD. Can't recall exactly, but I think Ice & Fire because that CD also had on it Fury '95 Demo from Microsoft, Mahjongg...
I think that my first game that I ever played was the first Prince of Persian. Damn.....I feel old...
One of the following three, I imagine. Tetris on the original gameboy or (ridge racer/Sonic the Hedgehog) on Sega Megadrive 2.
wow, nostalgia.. LOL the first game that my uncle teach me to play on computer run at command prompt , the game is first person shooter, i think the name is DOOM, CMIIW
