Artillery Duel, Apple II, '82..

Before Scorched Earth.. Before Worms...

Bard's Tale I was probably the first game I was properly addicted to and Ultima IV was pretty much the best thing ever until you got a charcter to level 100 and it went back down to 1 again after that because Lord British didn't think that far ahead lol.

It's kinda funny being able to remember when that was brand new and having it's big marketing push. I remember it being in C&VG with a double page spread or something. It would probably be a bit of a trip to kids today to know that the not much has really changed in computer game mags except the graphics even though it's really obvious nothing else really changes when you think about it although the industry has gone on serious ups and downs.. I remember a one page 8bit Paperboy review with all the awesome screenshots.
Just kinda weird but I don't automatically think of Dragon's Lair as "old"... there is still a bit of residual "newness" left over from the marketing... and that goes all the way through the timeline to games like Syndicate etc. It's weird as hell that DukeNukem 3d is someone's first favourite game.. it's in 3d! It only came out like.. 5 years ago right?.. right? oh shit.. 10?.. oh.. 13? Dammit I remember the sidescrolling platform Duke... dammit!!!! Fucking youth of today.

Football on intellevision

Oregon Trail at school.
BUT OMG.. at home..
Where in Europe is Carmen Sandiego.. with a green only monitor. lol
And Jeopardy.

I can remember one of the answers to the jeopardy question being prostitution... and I was like 4.. and I thought it was prosecution... so I used to be like, "Daddy hurry spell prosecution.." then Id get it wrong.. and he'd be all weird that the real answer was prostitution...


I was too young to read most of the words.. so i'd play them for hours on end.. until I'd memorize what words/pictures went with what answers.

Those games made me the nerd I am today.

Heh, forgot about Jeopardy. Played that one quite a bit too.

i think the first command and conquer where it was allies vs the soviets

None... I never played computer games.. not into it..

My first computer game was one I wrote myself, on a shared PDP-11 - I saved the program on paper tape and whenever I wanted to play, I just put the paper tape into the reader and off it went :1orglaugh

First computer game I ever played was Commander Keen (Goodbye Galaxy). It came free with the old 386 I bought wayyy back when.

2nd was Duke Nukem.

Mario
Contra
Double Dragon

x-com: enemy unknown.. still remembering it on my 1st 386

millipede!!! That got me playing all summer long!

dungeon keeper!!!! I and II :P

Loom...yes Loom not Doom

and the monkey island games

I doubt anyone remembers "Dark Legions", but it was the first game I really obsessed over. It was vaguely chess-like, having to take out the other sides hidden orb-bearer (king) but used a point-buy system to customize your army and upgrade them. There were lots of units all with unique stats and different movement and fighting powers. Wish they still made games like that.

Red Alert for PC and Final Fantasy for PS

It was an almanac that came with them all. Before the internet it was the best place to find random facts.

By the looks of the thread a lot of us are too old for that to be our first game..:helpme

Always a green monitor and boy I forgot about Jeopardy. I loved that game and played it into the ground. I don't think there were that many 2e games around so the ones that came out I played for ages.

Don't get me started! I never got to play Loom because in order to play it you had to use a sort of decoder thing to enter a code to allow you into the game but my box didn't come with the decoder and the company refused to believe me and send one out.

I played all those Lucas Arts games but that one.

Street fighter!!

centipede in the Atari 2600 :pimp

global thermonuclear war lol

:winkwink:

If we're talking arcades etc too, then of course Pong was the thing responsible for taking my quarters away from the pinball arcades on the boardwalk. Used to hitchhike at the bus stop and if we caught a ride, we could afford one more game :)

I played the first version tank wars

Yeah, for me it was Red Alert also. We had four computers networked in our house - back in the day when networking was difficult - and me and my buddies would play for hours.

Before PC, just home video games.... Must have been Missile Command.
