James Bond, World cup (something) and some jet ski racing game on the Nintendo 64.

They were the days...

Goldeneye, World Cup 98 and Wave Race, three of my favourite games back in the day, N64 was the first console I owned myself, good times..

KAGY

Programmed my own "skiing" game in BASIC on a BBC micro, but the gme that sticks out most was captain comic on an IBM ps2 I think.

Captain Chaos

First console game I ever played was Mario Bros 3 on the NES.

First on the SNES was Mario Kart.

First on the Playstation was Wipeout.

First on the N64 was Mario 64.

First on the PS2 was GTA3.

First PC game was Thief.

Love to go back and experience them all again for the first time.

Dos. Game archive doesn't allow hot linking

Banjo

I remember that skiing game - q to the left of you, p to the right, and if you made a false move it scrolled "over the precipice! " all over the screen.... Good times...

Earliest was a tabletop space invaders / Galaxian type deal in Spain (I have lots of fond memories of unnamed arcade games from early holidays) , my dad did the movement, I did the firing and my big sister did shields. Also, the football game on our Texas Instruments computer. The big Eeeeeyuuuuuuh! I noise when you pressed a button at the wrong time...

First games I played were Safari Hunt and Hang On on the Sega Master System. My uncle had it when I was still a kid, and I'd sit for hours watching him and waiting for a go. Crazy how I can remember the music and sounds so well.

Oh man, that brings back memories. That cart was my first experience on the C64. Flimbo's Quest was amazing. The circus game was Fiendish Freddies Big Top O' Fun. Then there was the International Soccer game and the tile game Klaxx.

those were my first games too. fimbos quest was deadly that was my favourite one. the circus game with the diving board and the knife throwing was good too. all i remember of terminator was getting chased on the motor bike by the truck trying to dodge all the big rocks. good memories : )

Went to a friends house and they had a little stand alone box like a tiny arcade cab with space invaders on it. I was amazed by this thing, had one go of it and I've been hooked on games ever since.

Ah bloody flimbos quest. I remember hating that game with a passion but I forget why.

Vojera

Either Roland in Time or Oh Mummy! on my cousin's Amstrad, but which I later inherited. Waiting for tapes to load ftw!

First computer in our house was an Amiga 600 that came with Formula One Grand Prix, a sponsored game called Pushover and Putty. Damn I miss those games and the cool fighter jet looking joystick I saved up for ages for.

First games console was the Megadrive with the 6-in-1 cartridge.

Can't remember the name of my first ever game ( some castle game on a floppy). But the first game I played for a decent amount of time was Pokemon gold on the game boy colour.

Ah, pushover, sponsored by quavers.

Think my first was on the spectrum 128k+2. 1 of the 6 games that came with it. Punchy, Treasure Island, Disco Dan, Oh Mummy, Crazy Golf and 1 other I can't remember

My first game ->

Riesen_Meal

Ant Attack on C64 was the first purchase out of my own pocket money....

Purchased in the very first Gamesworld off O Connell Street, when I was about 7....

I ended up working for them briefly later on before the Neary brothers sold on and franchised into the GameStop we know now.....

Got a Commodore 64 when I was 6, so definitely something on that. Probably the Gangsters (I think that's what it was called) game that was bundled with the light gun pack
