The Game that started it all.... - Page 2

Space invaders, Commodore PET. The ultimate in low-conflict gaming -- reboot the machine every time you want to play a different game. No memory leaks there, believe me.

No memory, either.

First game I played was Pong, on one of those old "plug into TV" Pong games.

However, first system that I owned was an Atari 2600, and it came with Space Invaders. It was my first game that I was addicted to.

IIRC, my first game was pong, too.
As for the PC I started with North and South, Tetris and Monkey Island.

The first PC game I ever played that got me hooked was Scorched Earth, the mother of all games

. After that came Duke Nukem 3D, Warcraft ...

I think the first computer game I ever played was 'Mr Robot's Factory' on our Atari 130XE when I was about 4.
Though the computer game that turned me into a true computer-nerd was Ultima 4, which I got when I was about 6 or 7. I played it, non-stop, and without ever really getting anywhere until I was 8, when we bought a PC. The next obsession became Ultima 6...

My first game was Civilization. I still play it every now and again...great game

InsaneBane · 02-02-2004, 06:11 AM

The first game(s)?

Space Invaders - In an arcade cafe

Single player squash on a TV (you know - one ball, a wall and a 'brick' to hit the ball with)

JetPac on Sinclair Spectrum 48

Asteroid on PC (good old PC-G model with a 8088 running 4.77 MHz)

I think it was a Atari 600, we had this game that you were this man and you had to find like an apple for the guy with the beard and kill things with your lazer thing, it was a plaform game. And the other was a 3d helicopter game called Tommahawk, it was really good but by 3d i mean the square mountains were 4 lines making a triangle and tanks were a series of lines in a messy pattern, still i thought it was really fun

I feel so young. Everyone else is talking about Ataris and other game systems I don't understand. First game I played was that duck hunter game on the NES. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
