First video game

Post Reply New Topic

Um my first gaming system was Intellivision... boy do I feel old. Heh. Astrosmash, Utopia and Night Stalker were my first games.

To play older video games on newer computers, you can now use a virtual system software. On Linux I recommend DosEMU. You have to be sure to edit the processor profile in the config file to run at a slower MIPS rating, if you are running old games that rely on processor speed.

I know of quite a few games that get a divide by zero error when you launch them on too fast a computer. (This is from the routine that calculates the computer's speed)

Sonic the Hedgehog 1 when I was 7 years old. The second game was The Little Mermiad. Then I remember playing Sonic 2 and Mickey Mouse: Castle of Illusion. I have beaten all the games.


Sonic 1 when I was 13.
The Little Mermiad when I was 7
Sonic 2 when I was 11
Castle of Illusion when I was 16 or 17.

Some good memories here in this thread.

Arcade - Space Invaders
Console - Adventure/Combat/Missile Command? - Atari 2600
Computer - Lunar Lander - Commodore Vic-20

Honorable mentions...

Wizardry - Apple IIe? (my cousin's)
Donkey Kong Jr. - Atari 5200
Castle Wolfenstein - C64/AppleIIe? (forgot that one)
Ultima III/IV - C64 (best RPG games ever)
AD&D Gold Box series - C64 (ok, maybe it's a tie)
Racing Destruction Set - C64
Marble Madness - Amiga 1000

My friend had Intellivision and Colecovision, but damned if I can remember the name of any games.

Games have lost their appeal to me. Too expensive on the PC to keep up with hardware. I have a PS2, but only play a few select games on it and always buy used/bargain bin.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Alex Kidd for Genesis.

Killer Gorilla - Donkey Kong clone

Moonraider - Rocket Ranger clone

... on the BBC Acorn electron.

Found the tapes the other, wanted to play it but cant be bothered to set the system up. Tapes LOL!

I think my first game was freddy fish
I was 6 years old xD

A seriously old DOS game called "Sneakers." I don't remember much, only that its ultra-simplistic graphics comprised of a black background and green sprites. (All the same color of green.)

Sonic the headgog for the Sega Geneses, was and still is the best original ever.

Thomas the tank enging C64

My first console game: I think it was Sonic The Hedgehog on the Sega Megadrive (Genesis).

I think the first video game I played was Pacman on some Atari system.
But it wasn't until Mario/Duck Hunt that I became interested in video games.
I think my first computer game was King's Quest 1.

I had a bunch of games for the SNES, and I was around three years old at the time, so I don't know exactly which game was my first. I'm guessing it was Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

I love videogames since I was 3 years old, but I didn't have one.

Time for going to my first school was near, and my mom tried to convince me school was a nice place, but I didn't want to go. So, my parents promised my they would buy me a Nintendo if I accepted going to the school.

I really wanted a Nintendo, so I decided going to school. School was strange and hard, I was smart, but my teacher pressured me a lot because she thought I was rebel (no one didn't know I had AS). But after two months, I was 4 years, and my parents bought me my Nintendo , with a Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt cartridge. I was so happy!
