What was the first thing you ever killed in a video game? I do not remember mine. It was probably a spider in the first release of simant. Or an invader from some atari thing.

A tank. It was an old atari game when I was five that had a spaceship in the upper corner and three tanks below and you had to fire at them. The name of the game eludes me.

I'll have to second that. One from that Nintendo game where you point with a weapon at the screen.

Well, I never killed it, rather it did kill me.

Probably a goomba or a duck. I had the atari, but none of the killing games. It was the atari that came with like 5 built-in variations of pong/breakout. So I had to wait for a NES to satisfy my childhood bloodlust.
