First video game

Post Reply New Topic

My first video game was Super Mario Bros. for the SNES. The first game i can actually remember getting was Starfox 64 for the N64. My first Zelda game was Ocarina of Time.

The first video game I remember the title of was Castle Wolfenstien for the apple II. The one I actually played first was a airplane/tank shooter for same computer. I think I still have it somewhere. I played it less than 5 months ago. . . . .wonderful memories.

Sonic on the Megadrive. I don't really remember if it's that or Red Alert for the PC.

i remember playing red alert, its about the only computer game ive ever played.

My first computer game was "Digger". I played it a lot on 80286 computers at work. This was around 1987.

Later on the 80386 it went a little to fast and after that I haven´t played Digger anymore.

The name of the game was skyfox. good memories.






I played some of the games the day after the patriots won the super bowl.

Super Mario on Super Nintendo.

Mario/Duck Hunt on Nintendo. Wow, I feel old now.

Hang-on and Spy vs Spy where with my first games machine, the sega master system.

My first game that I ever saw when I came to America was Castle Wolfenstein. It was at a Wal-Mart, and I must've stayed there for at least 5 minutes, just staring at the screen completely fascinated by what was going on. The first game that I truely 'owned' was Altered Beast for the Sega Master System!

Alex Kidd in Miracle World, built into my Sega Master System II.

Proabably Mario/Duck Hunt. I loved the dog in Duck Hunt so much, he was awesome.

My parents were cheapskates and never bought me any sort of video game system. Each year I kept asking for Christmas, and each year, it became updated to the latest craze: Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Playstation, Playstation 2, and whatever the hell they're on now (Is the Xbox the way to go, or is it going to be obsolete soon?).

When I was 12 a friend gave me an ancient Atari 2600 he got from a garage sale, complete with a bunch of old classics on it, so it was there that I lost my video game virignity. I fell in love with Pitfall, Pitfall II, Ms. PacMan, Frogger, Berzerk, and Yar's Revenge. Eventually, the T.V. that was connected to the Atari 2600 had a short circuit so it had to be replaced with a new model, and that one could not connect to the Atari anymore. I gave it to another friend who was desperate for a video game system when his Sega shut down or somesuch.

When I was about 13 or so, my dad bought a PC for his own personal use, but he also decided to buy a game that he heard was universally praised, and that was Myst. This comp. also came with some old games, like Lemmings, Jet Fighter 2, and Spectre, which I also became addicted to, and as the years progressed, I bought some more games to play on this one (and some I just borrowed from friends), such as:

Sim City 2000
King's Quest V
King's Quest VI
Doom
Doom II
Final Doom
Duke Nukem 3D
Quake
Tomb Raider
Lemmings Chronicles
Magic Carpet
Civilization II
Warcraft
Warcraft II
Lands of Lore: the throne of chaos

When I got my first job in High School I saved up a good sum, and finally bought myself a Computer to play all those games that our old one could no longer run when it became obsolete:

Tomb Raider II, III, IV, and V
Civilization III
Baldur's Gate I, II (and add-ons)
Icewind Dale I, II
Planescape: Torment
Quake II, III
No One Lives Forever
Half-Life (and add-ons)
Fallout
Fallout 2
American McGee's Alice
Daikatana (argh!)
Die By the Sword
The Longest Journey
Jagged Alliance 2
Neverwinter Nights

And a few others I'm probably forgetting here. And now, I can't run most games that are currently in release, and don't have a decent enough job to buy a better PC or video game system. However, I've grown jaded over the last few years, since most recent games have substituted technology for quality. My favorite games are often 5 years old or older, and I still play them frequently, and am often hit with a profound sense of nostalgia for the ways in which they captured my imagination, and still do. Most games nowadays are like Special Effects movies: Technology is everything.
