It was 1979 the basement of my dorm in a locked room, we had access to the main server. A bunch of us would get together and play Star Trek. No monitor just a army green metal pillor with attached typewriter and another pillor with the paper feed. We had to wait 10 minutes or more for the computer to respond, lots of drinking happened while waiting. Me, I crashed the enterprise more than once. The computer was very picky about language.

My first experience with a home PC was in the late 80's a friend got one for classes she was taking. I looked up southern states and decided on NM. We also played lots of games.
