My first PC game purchase ever was the original "Jet Fighter" back in 1989.

Wish I'd kept my boxes especially Janes and my USNF box. That box I remember being a little different from the norm because it was packaged in a more rigid box about half the size of what boxes were normally like then. And it had gold trim around it.

I'm not sure I remember my first home-computer game purchase. It might have been a Battle of Midway game written in PET BASIC for the Commodore. My first computer was a Commodore 64, but that was right when it came out, and there was no software for it, so the only stuff you could buy that would work on it was stuff written in BASIC for other Commodore computers. My first binary game was Pakacuda, a Pac-Man rip-off written for the C64.

After a few months of not finding any software for it, I sold it and bought an Atari 800, and bought a ton of games for that, including all the arcade conversions, plus Star Raiders and of course SubLogic's Flight Simulator II and Microprose's F-15 Strike Eagle. I know the C64 became big, but it was almost a year after I bought it before that happened, and I liked the Atari a lot better anyway.

Got a Roku box this Christmas and found that I could add private channels from various sources. One such channel I found was for InternetArchive.org, which has all or most of the episodes of Computer Chronicles.
