That old school actually predates my gaming years. Scary.
Heck, I started right with the NES. I've played older systems, but I got involved in gaming right as the NES came out.

You gotta hunt down and try a ZX Spectrum for pure retro gaming!
To throw in my older PC days...

Jill of The Jungle, early Epic game

Conquest of Camelot, SCI1.0 game from Sierra On-Line... Came out about the time Graham Chapman from Monty Python died. In the castle treasury, if you type in "ham and jam and spam a lot" knights go dancing across the bottom of the screen, singing... Ending with "In memory of Graham Chapman".

Codename: Iceman. Likely the first Spy-type adventure game ever made. SCI1.0 version Sierra On-Line.

King's Quest 1, Sierra On-Line. AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter) and SCI1.0 (Sierra Creative Interpreter) versions.
http://www.geocities.com/tekcomputers/sq1agi.jpg
Space Quest : The Sarien Encounter.... I have this original (AGI) version, as well as the SCI2 VGA remake. Sierra On-Line... Funny spinoff with lots of illusions to Star Wars, including the Cantina.... The Cantina features bands such as The Blues Brothers and ZZ Top.

And what Sierra Collection is complete without the original Liesure Suit Larry : In the Land of the Lounge Lizards...

One shall stand. One shall fall
Why throw away your life so recklessly.
That's a question you should ask yourself... megatron!
My favourite Quote of all time that is. Superb!

Bad Street Brawler... I think this shot is from the NES version, but I was looking for one from the Commodore 64 version...
Good times...
[Edit] Here's an in-game shot from the C64 version:

Tetris. Such a great game, even today. I used to sit on my original Game boy for hours, racking up high scores...

computers are better and cooler nowadays, but games are far less imaginative

My first was a Kaypro II which cost around $1500 in 1982. Aliens and Star Trek were bundled with it. I still have it and it still runs! A lovely machine.

My start into the computing world:
16k RAM
12k ROM (actually quite large for its time)
Monochrome graphics.
Lovely.
Click here (http://www.atariarchives.org/cap/pages/page292.jpg) for an example of some of the graphic capabilities. Getting a demon to dance along to music you programmed in yourself was quite a wow back in them days...

And the Commodore 1541 disk drive was as powerful as the C-64 itself!
GEOS used virtual memory from a 5.25" disk!

The infamous disc drive which was only 66% faster that a cassette recorder?

Yup. That's the one. Although some nifty programming tricks could make it go faster. 3 to 5 times, if I remember correctly. Still wasn't much, though.
