I can’t even remember the name,
It was for the BBC micro in the late 80’s, and it involved you being a postman and delivering letters to peoples houses.
First ever P.C Game was “Frontier Elite 2”, something I still play [img]redface.gif[/img] )

The first game I owned and played was Poltergist on a Tandy 64. Oh, God those were the days.

There were like three rounds to get through:
The first was dodging cars on the street to pick up equipment at houses.
I can't remember the 2nd round
But the final round was killing the poltergist you had to be careful not to hit the girl though.

The first game I owned and played on a real computer Pentium II was FF7.

First game? "Candyland"

LOL...seriously, my first computer game was Wizardry Iroving Grounds of the Mad Overlord. I must have played that game over twenty times. I can still just about map out level 1 without even thinking about it!

Ah, paperboy. Now that brings back memories. My bro has it on his comp right now in fact.

FE2 was good as well, but I prefer JJFFE - which is an unofficial hack of FFE(sequel to FE2 for those not keeping up) which runs in windows (OK, they all run in windows, but this one dosent require you to hack around in the startup files) in pseudo-high res and is quite stable. ALthough the missions are still glitched.

I remember paper boy! The stupid blocks that forced you to start again! The almost military skill level of the throws! The disappointment that you were playing what you could be getting paid for!
I had it on Master System

First ever game was Frogger on my cousin's atari. I was very little then. First game on our very first computer was probably space invaders or maybe pacgirl.

First game: Football on the Intellivision. Wow, I nearly forgot about that. And then Space Invaders on the Atari.

First game owned: Final Fantasy for the NES. And that led to the current addiction to FF games.

First computer game: The honor goes to Word Munchers! We would play it at school on those really old Macs, the ones with the green screens.

Hmm... I hope that I don't come off older than I really am.

As for Paperboy: I was addicted to that game for a while. Then I got really good and it was cool to be able to hit anything I wanted with my papers. Sweet game.

I'm not sure of the name, but it was an old old mac game, where your little guy has to run around and find keys to unlock doors and finally get the last door. Or maybe it was the Shuffle-Puck Cafe...
