Pyramid, that I can remember anyway. Still more fun then the latest COD/BF games

Project 1 on Amiga 500 for my 7th Birthday.

I (my mum and dad) got the Amiga 2nd hand and it came with loads of games. Project 1 I remember being the first I saw in 1991. At the time my friends only had Spectrums, Acorns and BBCs so the games were outstanding. Actually, many Amiga games still are.

I might fire up Project 1 again, such a great game. I remember my dad getting to the futuristic level (zone 3) after hours of playing

2 or 3 years later I saw Doom on my Aunties very expensive PC and was blown away by it. I didn't own a PC until 1996 though

Not sure exactly, but I remember watching my dad play White Viper, Video Meanies, and Jet Set Willy on the C64. I soon started playing them, and others. So one of those, probably.

I don't know what it was for me- we had a Commadore 64 and it was a vertical scrolling car combat game.

The oldest I can remember is Reasoning with Trolls (on the family 386, not the Amiga, but it looked the same).

PacMan cartridge on my Vic20, or maybe 'Grannies Garden' on the Beeb at primary school.

The first game I can remember playing was kula world on ps1, had to google "maze ball fruit" to find out the name haha

Doom the original

. Saw my dad playing it and asked if I could have a go. Wouldn't let me until I was 11 though

first one I played on our family PC was 'D-Day' circa 1992, had tank driving, B17 flying, and an rts all on one floppy disk!

First one I owned myself was probably x-com terror from the deep or transport tycoon, cant remember which was first!

My first computer game will have been something I typed in from a listing in a magazine. Can't remember what.

The first game I can remember being bought was probably this :

Absolutely awesome

3D Rex on my ZX81 was the first commercial game i played, though there were a few games that i typed out for hours from PC mags (and then spent hours debugging because i made a typo somewhere)

European Air War on my Pentium 2.

Freefaller · 2 Dec 2014 at 07:38

Space quest 1. Loved that series of games

arc@css · 2 Dec 2014 at 07:49

Not sure really. Probably something on the Atari 2600 console like space invaders or combat.

EMarkM · 2 Dec 2014 at 08:00

First computer and game we actually owned: ZX Spectrum Plus 48k, the Christmas it came out, with Chequered Flag and a few "edumacational" tapes like Tasword and Build-a-Chip.

Had previously played a few games on mates' Speccies, ZX81s and the original Atari that my brother's friend had.

Very, very happy memories

Squink · 2 Dec 2014 at 08:07

Blitz, Froggit and Gridrunner on the Vic20 iirc

Matagalactic Llamas, Battle At The Edge Of Time came later along with Antimatter Splatter
