First computer games played? For me it was in the 70's while studying Coral66 (CORAL - Wikipedia) a language I still used professionally well into the 90's.

The microcomputer computer/server we used in those days used to have two text base games. One was the Lunar Landing module (Eagle) game where you had to enter fuel burn each iteration to slow down the module for landing. The other, much more exciting game, was Star Trek where you used short and long range sensors to locate and destroy klingon space ships before they ganged up on you and took you out with coke cans.

This was easily my favourite game, anyone remember it?

Yep. I recall both. I recently found an emulator to play the lunar lander again...but the magic was gone.

Last is to pierce the can and top up the oil in your car.

What an awkwardly worded answer.

I learned to skate in the concrete basement with my mom's old 70's rollerskates just like this.

What a moronic comment from a kindergartner.

bon rockin a pair of black ripple-sole DBs. Acka-dacka were bogan band #1

When I grew I spent my early teenage years running from a kicking from the rockers and bogs.

Their song - sung to Seasons in the Sun
"We had joy, we had fun,
We had surfies on the run,
But the fun never lasts
Cos the surfies run too fast"


When surfing became a 'sport' we all got black DBs and wore them down the beach when we went surfing.
