Which game made you a gamer?What was special about it?

[Astrosquall1]

Hard to remember the first game I played. It may have been on my Atari 2600, or it could have been Tetris on a knockoff handheld...though I remember as a kid being blown away by Space Invaders (I think it was) which they had at the local Bistro, and it was played flat on a table with a giant screen. I'd never seen anything like it-I begged my dad for the game and I think that's how I wound up with an Atari, which came with a 32-in-1 cartridge I played to death.
