What was the first game you played?
Mine, i believe, was Wolfenstein

Rev Hellfire · 26-03-2002 2:46pm

Mine was drop the rattle, jesús that was a great laugh.

Samson · 26-03-2002 2:47pm

Wolf3D was mine too (on the PC anyway).
Played on my state of the art 386 16MHz with 2meg of RAM.

Whoo boy...me first ever game? As far as I know..it was this old Atari wooden box that had all these sports games, which were all versions of Pong.

But my earliest memories are of playing Manic Miner on the c64.

Prince of Persia on pc

Joyrider on Atari

Can't remember on amstrad.

Those were the days, didn't need fancy thinger majigers back then.

Man i feel so young! My first game was Super Mario Bros. for the NES. Ahh the memories *sigh*

And my first PC game was Quake i think.

koneko · 26-03-2002 5:09pm

AFAIK a version of Pong (or something similar) and a Bert and Ernie basic alphabet thing on some Atari POS. Can't even remember if it was an Atari or not, heh.

PiE · 26-03-2002 5:12pm

Some crappy football managment game on the SpectrumZX.

I loved it

azezil · 26-03-2002 5:13pm

Space invaders (i think)
or possibly pac man.. i dunno!

Mountjoy Mugger · 26-03-2002 5:14pm

First PC game - Day of The Tentacle. Just got my first Sound card that day to pop into my 386/25. Ahh - the memories!
First game I ever played was kicking an orange around my play pen - was about 2 at the time.

Balfa · 26-03-2002 6:08pm

Damn, my first gaming experiences were just like Kyro's... I had this old plug-in-yer-tv box (plastic this time, not wooden

, called Telesport, i think, and it had little dial controllers... you could play 4 variants on pong, and it rocked :]

But the first "proper" game i remember playing was Manic Miner (on the spectrum though - i didn't know it ever came out on the C64 before i saw your post)... although i remember little programs like "Count" and "Alphabet Soup" on the ZX81 before that

Dustaz · 26-03-2002 6:35pm

um pong probably (or space invaders, they both came to ireland at the same time afair.)
and again, manic miner for the spectrum was the first game i owned .

Bard · 26-03-2002 6:40pm

First video game I ever played was probably Pong... quite some time ago... then there was a Formula One racing game on the old (Irish made!) 48K Oric-1 computer. Then there was the original Star Wars vector based game in the arcade... You got to blow up the death-star! It doesn't get cooler than that! :cool:

First games system I had was The Grandstand SD070 Video Sports Centre System - endorsed by Kevin Keegan!!! - which had 10 games (all of them Pong, really

) on one clunky cartridge. As yer man says on the web page, it was "v.poor by modern standards, but back then it was fab". Still have it (in fairly mint condition) up in the attic somewhere.

First game I played on the PC was some deathtrap dungeon type DOS-based ascii text thingy... y'know the type ... that little red heart ascii character is an evil dragon... you're the white diamond... can't remember it in detail, tbh... Only game on the PC that ever really took over my life for a while was the original QUAKE... natch... and I was helping to run one of Ireland's first net café's at the time

amp · 26-03-2002 7:33pm

We had this console thing that only played 3 types of pong. But we loved it.

Dont be at yourself · 26-03-2002 7:33pm

THe first game I can remember playing was Ladybug on the colecovision. It was basically a PacMan clone (I had never heard of PacMan and when I first seen it I thought that it had ripped off Ladybug) and I loved it to bits. That, along with Donkey Kong and Ventures had a huge impact on my life.

Swifty · 26-03-2002 7:39pm

Sonic the hedgehog I think, damn I loved that game

D-Generate · 26-03-2002 9:24pm

Illkillya · 26-03-2002 9:54pm

My first arcade game: Space Invaders in a pub in 1985 I think.. i dont remember it v.well because i was only a youngfella back then. I also remember playing Mrs Pacman in a pub near bantry but i have no idea when that was

First console game: Pong, fishing (where you sit at the end of a pier and fish.. the computer was really good at it), and Pitfall 1 on our Atari

first PC game: Frogger in 1988 i think at my friends house, then Prince of persia later when he got that. and whatever educational games they had on the Apples in school.

Asok · 26-03-2002 10:42pm

Pepe LeFrits · 26-03-2002 11:03pm

Punchie on the Commodore 16 is the first game that i can remember the name of, although i believe the first game i ever played was some Space Invaders type game on a VERY old Apple.
