Borrowing Duke Nukem 3D off my friend when I was in school kicked it off for me. I remember putting loads of pipe bombs on that very first level everywhere and detonating them all at once .

Remember it very well, played it three times and had to cheat at the same point every time cos’ I couldn’t escape that flippin’ rancor pit thing on Jabba’s ship.

Great game though

On Pc the first game i bought was some game you played a doctor and had to do operations on, i cant even remember the name, but i bought it the same day as i bought 4d boxing which was awesome, it ran so slowly on my 286 though, i remember taking it into the local video games shop who had a 386, and it was silky smooth

 

[NiccoLau]

My first game was caesar III and midtown madness! love them !!

 

[snowdog]

Hmmm at what age did you guys all start gaming, you all name fairly recent games, I'm probably a lot younger ( I'm 16) yet I renember when I played games with 4 bit graphics.
Started gaming from the age of 3 and got my own pc on my room when I was 6, so 10 years ago. ( b4 that I just played downstairs)

Standout games:

Harrier Attack
Dizzy
Body blows
Aliens
Afterburner
Doom

God theres loads, I just cant remember there names anymore I just get flashbacks in my head...

Most standout game for me is on the AMiga 600 Cannon Fodder. So sad when that little soldier dies after you have nursed him through so many battles.

I also remember being at a Computer Fair in Brirmingham NEC Arena in early-mid 90's and being amazed at Rebel Alliance on the PC. That for me was when 3D stuff started happening.


EDIT: Just remembered more games like Lemmings, James Cod & zool

comander Keen
wolf 3D
