Mine is Rise of The Triad, bloodier than Doom! I had dreams of Nazis ripping my head off. Now its monsters

I loved that game...I especially loved that the items all changed their descriptions each time that you played (just because a potion of healing was a certain color one game didn't mean it was the next game!). Hard game, too. Always hated walking into a new room and seeing nothing but letters (mass combat time!).

Rogue.... great little game. RUN!!! HERE COMES A "T"!!!!

It was fun and challenging, until I figured out how to cheat. Started saving games and reloading them, and it was never quite the same.

Anyone else ever read the code of a Scott Adams game to try and figure out how to get through the game?

Geez, the young Atari 2600, was it shooter?
Atari 800 XL, what a machine. M.U.L.E.
C-64, Pirates
Amiga, sweetest graphics machine ever. Wizardry series.
Now we all have "PCs" where video cards have larger memory then did our HDD's, and our keyboards have a quicker response time then did our processor's FSB.

My first game was on super Nitendo and it was the duck shooting game.

my first game was tank on an old atari but did anyone else play the text based lotr game on a bbc pure frustration

My very first was bump n jump on the commodore 64, followed closesly by my first (and the best) nintendo game: CONTRA!!! [img]graemlins/shooter03.gif[/img]

First d&d? BG.

Probably the first game I ever played was some text based RPG version of Lord of the Rings on a Commodore. I was young at the time and can't remember the name of it, all I do remember is that it was awful. The first game I ever got completely addicted to and wasted hours of time on was Civ 2. What a game...

Nope you are not the only one, I remember those! We had one at work and I used to lug it home to do work on [img]smile.gif[/img]

The first game I ever played was probably Zork (not counting arcade games at the arcade).

Atari800...with MULE (where the computer characters always cheated). Whenever we played MULE, it was understood that human players would 'Collude' against PC characters wherever possible just to make the game close to being fair. And don't forget Jumpman and Boulderdash. And the unbeatable 'Gemstone Warrior'.

*In GW, you had to fight your way through a maze to get to a relic in a cave. You are almost out of bombs & super arrows when you find it. You're all set to retrace your steps when the cave door closes and Indestructable monsters start chasing you into the back of the cave. If you made one wrong move (and it took 20 game hours to get you there before this) or turned into one wrong room, they'd swarm you and kill you. I think the monsters were Adamantium-skinned Beholders who shot rays of 'Saturn V thruster force'. If I had a nickle then for every curse I called down on the programmers I'd be independantly wealthy today.
