Tough to recall the first computer game I played. Probably "pong".

I think the first strategy game for a computer I can remember playing was "Empire". I can't even find any references to it on Google, but it was a 4-color title. I don't even remember what I was playing it on - either an early IBM PC or an Apple ][, I would suppose.

Edit - Thanks for the pointer to the-underdogs.org, great site. Empires (the Version I first played) was released in 1978. I probably played it in the early 80s sometime. I have some memories of playing the 16-color Version during college around '88, but everything from that time is more-or-less buried in a beer-soaked haze.
