Your First Ever Game....

It's scary how new a lot of people's first games were...


Mine was some 3D Maze game on a very early console when my older cousin brough it round one christmas to show off. 3D Ant attack? Something like that. It had a first-person view of a maze and there were giant ants. I think I'd have been about 4 so this would be 1983.
First games I regularly played were Gauntlet, Trap Door and Ghostbusters on the Spectrum.

EDIT: No, after having a look, 3D ant attack was isometric,not first person. No idea what it was called then.

G-Police, on a 350mhz P2 that the family got in 1999. Hey, I know that's only 9 years ago, but I'm only 21!
 
It'll have been when I was around 5 and got my Atari ST in around 1990/91 for christmas :)

I used to love that thing, don't know which was my first, but I got a huge bundle of games with it (3.5" floppy disks yo!) and didnt by any new :o

R-Type, Nebulus, Buggy Boy, Beyond The Ice Palace, Gauntlet 2, Thundercats, Bombjack, Predator, Xenon, Double Dragon, Afterburner, Star Ray, Overlander, Pac Man, Outrun etc

It was a driving game on the cpc 464, don't remember what it was called but i swear i was as good as DARYL! I also remember playing a game called Yee Ah Kung Fu, somethiing like that anyway.
 
Dizzy on treasure island on the spectrum zx i believe, could have been on commodore 64 and a game called the hobbit, was a text based game with trolls :D

Mine was probably Parsec on a Texas Instruments Ti99A in the early eightes.
Great game, and the computer I believe was quite advanced at the time and was one of the few with speech capabilities.

Whatever came bundled with the Amiga 600 in 1992 - I think it was "Silly Putty", F1 Grand Prix (not sure which version) and another block/puzzle game.

The first game I bought, per-se, was F16 Combat Pilot for the same platform.
 
First game I ever played? well, There was some games on my uncles Commodore 64, including Snooker(can't remember if it was named after a pro or something), and another game which name I can't remember.

First game I can really remember playing though was Doom on my uncles 486, scared the **** out of me, although not as much as Quake did when that was released, had nightmares about them zombies lol.

First game I ever owned though was Carmageddon on my first PC, think it was an IBM 200Mhz jobby lol. still think the original was an absolutely fantastic game, especially once I upgraded to a 16Mb VooDoo3 lol.
