Your First ever Game

Bruce The Aussie · 10-24-2002, 09:52 AM

i thought of a question i haven't seen on the board in a while.
Whats the first game (computer of video) you ever played?

mine was "The Curse Of Sherwood" for the spectrum. i played it when i was about 4 or 5 and loved it. i still have a copy and a spectrum, i just can't get it too work.

Settlers 2, i was totally addicted to that game. And believe it or not, sometimes i still play it. I think it's better than all the later versions of the Settlers.

Telengard, on the Commodore 64. I was about 9. It was 1980 for criminy sake, a 8086 was about $5K at the time. Then there was The Bard's Tale. I never came close to finishing, but my friend and I hacked it and found a broom as a weapon and an old man figurine. In college, my 386 and SSI Gold box games found each other.

My very first at home electronic game? A pitiful handheld football game, but I can't remember the name.

My first console game? Atari's "Pong".

My first electronic D&D game? "Adventure" for Atari.

My first D&D computer game? SSI's Champions of Krynn.

I think my very first PC game was a PGA golfing game, but I can't be sure. I bought an Amiga from a friend, and he gave me about 20 games with it.

First computer games wer Ultima I and Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (bought them both with my Apple II+ with a whopping 64k of memory and two 5.25 disk drives)Purchased in 1980 or early 81...hard to remember that far back

First Electronic game was a Coleco handheld Football game.
