    Same as above the 32 in 1 catridge that came with my Atari 2600 (although don't remember the cover!)

    Dune on the SEGA Genesis,
    I was 5 :)
    My parents said I looked like I understood what I was doing, but all I remember I was terrified of the sand worms

    "ACKNOWLEDGED"

    Jet Power Jack on the commodore 64. The sound effect for losing a life is lodged in my brain for the rest of my days im afraid. Good game though...

    DONKEY on the PC. Came on the old 5.25 floppy discs......provided hours of entertainment!

    Bubble Bobble on the c64, it was a copied version on a record-able tape that my neighbour who setup the system had given us. Loved that game so much

    The system also came with this (minus turrican)

    Ah the memories.

    However, Resident Evil was the first game I played on the PS1. This image will be imprinted in my brain 'til the day I die. Frightening stuff for an 8 year old.

    I...don't remember. Would have been a Spectrum game. I remember Cookie, Way of the Exploding Fix, Movie, Sabre Wulf, and a few other things I can't put names on. I think I played Outrun on the C64, and a really bad He-Man game too.

    Does anyone remember a Bruce Lee platformer-type game on the C64? Definitely remember this as one of my earliest gaming memories, hard but fun.

    Altered beast on the mega drive. Thought it was the bees knees at the time. I have a vague recollection of playing something on my cousins Commodore 64 but no idea what it was


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,364 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    First one I played was Pitfall on the Atari 2600 at a friends house


    but the first one I owned and still my favourite game of ALL TIME... Flimbo's Quest on the C64!!!!

    And the people who don't remember what the other games on the Flimbo's Quest Cartridge were...

    Fiendish Freddy's Big Top O' Fun
    International Soccer
    Flimbo's Quest
    Klax


    Klax was a brilliant game too :)

    the first shinobe on the sega master-system.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,983 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    Does anyone remember how much those cartridges cost on the c64?
    I could never afford them but I did get 2 as birthday presents.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,123 ✭✭✭✭Star Lord

    The Simpsons arcade game by Konami in Mosney for 3 minutes when I was 6.

    Think it was that Atari ping pong game back in '79.
    I had a ZX81.....i was into tech at a young age.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,634 ✭✭✭✭Richard Dower

    Both such good games, yoshi is seriously addictive. Donkey Kong is nice as a 2nd mario game, but simple


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,518 ✭✭✭✭Cookie_Monster


    Gorillas
    throwing bananas at each other and taking out chunks of cities :pac:

    Commander Keen was another very early one I remember

    Also some submarine based one for the amstrad, can't remember the name though

    I was going to say Combat with my Dad on the Atari 2600 but now that I really think about it, I think it was space invaders in a pub?
