Your First Ever Game....

[shifty_uk]

If we're speaking consoles, my first ever game was probably Ridge Racer or something similar. Got a couple of games with my Playstation when they came out.

If we're talking PC games then I'd say the first game I played properly was Unreal Tournament. Later followed by Quake Arena and Spearhead.

Chucky Egg I think.

First PC game was Wolf-3D.

I actually can't remember the very first game but I'm sure it was something on the Apple II, with nice green+black graphics technology.

Games like: Rescue Raiders, Aztec, Karateka, Oil Barons, Decathlon and Montezuma's Revenge. Fun times.

Combat - Atari VCS - Spent a whole summer holiday playing this and space invaders.

if thats the same as what i played its the Binatone, first ever games machine i think! i still have it in its box, sadly the gun was lost for duck hunt, which was the first game i ever played.

Doesn't look like it from what I can remember. IIRC the "console" just had Pong on it and two controllers you could remove from the console itself.

The closest picture I can find of it:



However, that's not the exact model, just what the controllers looked like.

Manic Miner on my 48k Spectrum, Christmas Day (1983?)

 

[Bubo]

Pong

I don't know the name of the system but it had two control sticks with a turning knob at the top.

Ditto, my version of the console also came with a light gun in pistol and rifle form with a extra stock attachment, and a sort of motorbike game with an additional throttle type controller where you simply sped up a little motorbike sprite fast enough to do a jump over a gap. Happy days.

Combat - Atari VCS

This was my first game as well and had to be the best game on the Atari. The tanks were brilliant.

good days now games come with bugs, and hackers ruin them

 

[Biohazard]

Original Settlers / Civilization / Colonization on Floppy discs on my 386 10Mhz / 2Mb Ram. Thats back in '94 or maybe a bit before.

Sweet sweet days.

Then I added a Creative Sound Blaster, original. Wow, music and sound made it all seem so wonderful!

We had one that was modelled a bit like an Atari VCS - black plastic and wood. Exact same games though.

Must have been a pool game on a friends 16K Spectrum circa 1983. My first computer was a Vic20 (couldn't afford the C64) and I had a space game called Gorf which was on a cartridge so instant load times!

 

[atpbx]

Haunted Hedges.

 

[Buffman]

prob. sonic the hedgehog on the megadrive or one of the other games that came with the cartridge with 6 games in.

 

[jim5000]

I think it was a 'Stig of the Dump' game on the schools BBC model B, or maybe Repton on our BBC at home.

 

[Paradiso]

Repton was great, and elite on the Acorn Electron.
