First Games

[Hanz™]

First game I bought was probably Little Big Adventure.
The first game I played was probably some sort of educational title, or Commander Keen.
Or Lemmings, or Prince of Persia, I don't really remember that well.

Oh my gawd I forgot about Astro Wars:

Very simple but fun to play!

They have one of those for sale in a 2nd hand shop near me, they also have a couple of those computer games from ther same kind of time period, the ones that look a bit like binoculars. they are red in color (maby other colors aswell)

The one they have is a tank game, and another one that i cant remmber.

All 3 items are boxed.


Do you think that its worth buying them to sell on to collectors, I thought about getting them the other day but didnt have any spare money on me at the time.

they are £5 each, but im sure i could do a deal on all of them

Star Raiders for the Atari 800. The game came with the machine and was definitely the first game I ever played. Still a good game, GP32 brought it back after we through out my old atari.

I wonder what guntrix' first game was. Probably Kingdom Hearts II.

Then again, he wouldn't play a game like that. So probably Marc Ecko's Getting Up.

 

[PokeParadox]

The earliet game I ever played was on the Atari800XL

I don't remember what it was called, but you had to try and save a princess. You also had to jump over crocodiles, some of which were two-headed. (Incidently if anyone knows the name of this then I'd appreciate that.)

The first system of my own was my NES. First game I played on a NES was Kung Fu, on some kids NES down the street.

I can proudly say I have been there from the start. From a ski jump game played on a teletype over a university mainframe in the 70s, to pong, to first arcade games, and culminating in a self build zx-80 and my own first games, followed by good old 3d monster maze on the zx-81, and the rest is history. Yes I am way too old.

Ski was an awesome game for Windows 95.

Just throwing that out.

Then I played Prehistoric, another awesome platformer featuring a caveman, about which Google finds nothing.

That's because it's spelled with a 'k': Prehistorik. Screenshot here: http://games.softpedia.com/progScreenshots...nshot-5268.html

Oh, and if anyone can find me a copy of Jason Jupitor, they will recieve a paypal based reward.

Here it is, if you want it.
I don't think we need worry about any "paypal based reward". Your eternal gratitude will be more than enough.

Back on topic: My first game was some sorta 'Space Invader' handheld. I remember it was beige in colour, and had three space invaders at a time up the top of the screen... Apart from that it would have been some sorta Hanimex-esque pong/tennis/squash/soccer cartridge thingy. Was fun at the time - the birth of my love of multiplayer.

Sweet! I found a picture of it! I am so cool. B)

I love you.

You're right about the workbench though, it was loosly basen on linux if I remember correctly. Remember using MEmacs to edit s/startup-sequence.

er, no.

The Linux kernel was originally developed in 1991 (and the first GUI later still).
The first Amigas came out mid 80s.

Back on topic.
The first system I remember playing was an Intellivision. I do remember a Ten Pin Bowling game (most likely Bowling), a game where you flew a spaceship along a trench Star-Wars style (might have been Space Strike) and some totally weird offf-the-wall bee game that I really can't remember anything about (other than it was to do with bees) than I can't find any info on.

Anyway, we actually had no end of problems with the hardware, tried 3 different Intellivision untils with no luck (bad batch), and in the end got a Commodore Vic20 instead. My favourite games on that were a Galaxian clone and Raid on Fort Knox.

The first ever arcade game I played was Pole Position 2. And TX-1 (but not at the same time though).
