*remembers a space invaders type game that I programmed myself on my sinclair computer using 'BASIC'* you young uns ;)

You could buy some of them on ebay... my brother just bought an old atari system on ebay and them one at a garage sale too. I still have my old Lynx and was thinking of going on there to look for some cartarges of some of my favorites.

Double Dragon
Spy Vs. Spy
Pandora

All amazing games.

That's a good one, a classic that never dies.

Well...It depends greatly upon what you call "growing up"...I feel like the industry grew up at exactly the same pace that I did...

I loved Mario Bros when I was very young...and then I discovered Donkey Kong Country a couple of years later...and then I fell in love with Banjo-Kazooie when I was in my prepubescent years...with my teenage years, I discovered Goldeneye and Rogue Squadron...and Baldur's Gate...and nowadays, I would say that I'm almost "grown up" and like too many games to count...

At the arcade? Centipede! And at Home on the Commodore 128? Crystal Castles, Bruce Lee, Karatika, Zorks, Wishbringer and tons more..

gosh...
well it started with some games on the commodore 64 whose names i've long forgotten.
Then it went to super nes games like diddy kong and such
then we got a pentium 90 and it was games like sim city etc
then at school i played sim city 2000, some forest fire game that was supposed to teach you punctuation, spin doctor something, maths dodger.
then we got out computer upgraded to a pentium 166 with MMX!!!!
and Twinsen's Odyssey remains my favourite game growing up/of all time.

Twinsen's Odyssey? I thought no one else remembered those games. Another staple of my childhood that I loved.

Wow... depends on how far back I go.

Space Invaders on the Commodore PET. That was just fun...

It worked on the Commodore 64, too [img]smile.gif[/img] And my buddy had Strip Poker for it as well [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Might & Magic I on the Apple ][e was my first real CRPG, and remains special for that reason. Lost many hours, there, I did...

Bard's Tale III on the 64... a lot more time was spent.

On the PC, all the MM series and a few others.

In the arcades... Double Dragon chewed up a lot of my quarters in college. Then they kept bumping up the difficulty level 'cause we were too good :D And Galaga remains one of my all-time favorites, too.

Almost forgot... Yar's Revenge on Coleco was another favorite way to kill hours of time... :D
