C'mon tell me what was your first computergame?
And your second?
Third?
Fourth?
I know there are some people here who are addicted to gaming.
What was your first, and what was your favourite?
YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO TELL ME!!!
NOW!!!
1. My first game ever was 'Metal Gear' it was for an MSX-computer. The game dates back to 1987. I started playing it three years later when I was three years old. ;) Along with my dad who was addicted to gaming at that moment.
'Metal Gear' was about a man who's name was Solid Snake, he had to infiltrate into a fortress and find and destroy the ultimate weapon Metal Gear. It was a very cool game. Today many people know the game 'Metal Gear Solid' or its newest in its genre 'Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater'. I love the whole Metal Gear franchise.
2. My second game ever was 'The Legend of Kyrandia'. Man, that was a great game by Westwood Studios (Westwood doesn't exist anymore). The game was released in 1992 if I am correct. About a boy/man (Brandon was his name) who had his quest: bring down the evil court jester Malcolm. Later on you find out that Brandon is the one who has the right to be the king of Kyrandia. Blah blah blah, great game.
3. 'Command & Conquer'. 1995 was THE year for gamers. C&C was the beginning of RTS (Real Time Strategy). It had the best gameplay at that time. And the music was outstanding (Frank Klepacki was the musician for Westwood). The cutscenes were a pleasure to look at. Everybody knew there would be more to follow and yes, Red Alert was the second game in the series. Then Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 followed. Too bad the last C&C game (C&C Generals) wasn't a really good game. Probably 'cos EA took over, Westwood was disbanded. C&C is no more!! No future for C&C... :'(
My all time favourite games:
1. 'Metal Gear Solid' and 'Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty'
2. 'C&C: Red Alert 2'
3. 'The Legend of Kyrandia - Book III: Malcolm's Revenge'
Worthy mentions:
Commandos 2: Men Of Courage
Emperor: Battle For Dune
I'm not much of a gamer now, because my videocard is broken (64MB NVidia GeForce 2). >:(
I really don't remember ???
I think it was "Snack Attack" on an Apple II. It was a lot like PacMan. There was also this silly game where one had to shoot down helicopters and paratroopers. It got boring and I felt kind of guilty killing all those poor, defenseless pixels, so I stopped.
For me that would be 'Hang On', and also 'Safari Hunt', which were the two built-in games for the Sega Master System. Christmas 1990 I got that, oh how I laughed at my friends who were still stuck with Atari 2600s. ;D
I never was into computer games, really, but one I can remember quite well is a game that's split up into two parts, above and below, and two competitors are driving cross country motor bikes. It was in 2D, on the C64 and me and my friends played it a lot.
OK ... an opportunity for those proper gamers to have a laugh at my expense ...
The first computer game I really enjoyed was the original Space Invaders. I didn't own it, the Atari console and stacks of different game cartridges belonged to my best friend's big brother ... but when he was out of the house we used to sneak into his bedroom and load up Space Invaders or sometimes Tennis or Packperson ... that sort of thing.
Nowadays my gaming tastes are a little more sophisticated ... I have a later version of Space Invaders on my computer and I love playing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, GTA 3 or Vice City. I also have The Hitman Silent Assassin, but I've kind of gotten stuck on that one. Another firm favourite is Championship Manager (or Football Manager as the latest incarnation is called).
So I guess I can't call myself a proper gamer or hold my head high in branches of GAME.
Snake attack was prbably my first game, But I really dont know for sure...
My all-time favourite game is the PS1 Metal Gear Solid, first played it @appelmoes's
must say I have a weak for PS1-games, since thats the platform I played most of my games at.
And when I sold it (at a time I had lost my mind completely) I havent played much games since.

My 1st computergame was a game for the Commodore 64, but I don´t know, what it was... ???
My Dad has thrown it (the computer) away!!! A Commodore!! How could he do this??
Then I´ve got "Blobby Volley", a game in that you can play Volleyball with "jellybabies". They look so I think.
After that I´ve got "The Sims"! :D
But my favourite games I like to play are:
- Unreal Tournament / Unreal Tournament 2004
- Need for Speed Underground / NFSU 2
- Counter-Strike (a little bit)
- Splinter Cell (e.g. Pandora tomorrow)
- Quake III (rules!! ;D )
- Postal 2 (very funny :P )
- Guild Wars ( I like roleplays very much)

Indeed...
But guys from my generation don't think so.
I started to play computergames when I was three years old (1990), but I like all the old games. People were satisfied with it.
Now everything is about graphics, gameplay etc etc.
People don't enjoy videogames as they did back in the early 80s and 90s.

I was really good at Tetris... I'm probably not so good now, though!
The first computerthiny we had at home was something that used tapes.
I was just a very little pot of applesauce those days... That's what I can remember...
My first own computer was the NES and the game I enjoyed most was Pirates.

eh.. yeah right... to come back on topic :P:
my first game...pfff don't really remeber but i know some that i've played until my head came off:
Roadfighter
You were a little tiny red car and you had to race against other cars (in the colors pink, blue and green). Your goals was to get to the finish line before you ran out of fuel. The game had only 6 levels but it was quite differcult though. a really great game.
Bubble Bobble
Now this is a Awesome game. you were a little Dinosaur and had to kill all the other creatures in the map with Bubbles :D it was a great game, just 1 problem: the game had some kind of bug that when you came to the last level (number 99) the game stopped :'( that was really an anti-climax ). but still a great game! :)
Red Alert 1
I played this game when i was about 7 years old (released in 1996) and i really love(d) it. it has been released again recently, and i accualy bought it ;D too bad it doesn't run on XP :( but that's why i also have an windows 98 computer :P . The game was revolutionary! playing a game and be the ruler over a complete army... genius...
Splinter Cell
Now this also a really special game, it's quite new ( splinter cell 1 was released in 2002 ) and really cool. It's one of the (not many) sneaky stealth games, at this moment i'm playing Splinter cell 3 Chaos Theory, and offcourse i'm looking forward to play Splinter cell 4. my eyes already hurts when i look at those graphics :P but that's not really an old game.. so not really on-topic 8)
hmm this is what i come up with at this moment, maybe in the next days i'll remeber more awesome games :p

But Philips was the brain behind the Compact Disc. Sony was developer/producer while Philips was brain/producer.
If I recall correctly...?
Ahh...who cares anyway.
MSX: cool.
Sony: fine.
Philips: fine too.
Konami: GREAT.

I remember we used to say MSniks to MSX (Niks is nothing in Dutch)
I never saw the fun in tetris and games with an eating circlecreature in a raster, I always did like soccer games especially the EA sportsgames, Davilex soccer are very unstable, crashing too often.
hehe i've also played soccer on the MSX, the name of the game was: "Konami's Soccer" , great game, really funny. I've played it quite some time togeter with my brother, he always won from me though :(

You were probably confused with a Commodore.
I never enjoyed Tetris and PacMan eiter... (well, sometimes a PacMan game can be funny), but I really liked the Soccer game we had on the MSX and graphically it was GREAT for that time.
(http://outerspace.terra.com.br/retrospace/materias/consoles/imagens/MSX/soccer.gif)
'Soccer' by Konami, man that was great, but very difficult, the computer was too good for me, luckily you could play to a human too. We played this on parties a lot (do you remember Frank?)(http://outerspace.terra.com.br/retrospace/materias/consoles/imagens/MSX/Castle.gif)
'The Castle', I loved it, there was so much to see! And even more to do!(http://outerspace.terra.com.br/retrospace/materias/consoles/imagens/MSX/eggerland.gif)
'Eggerland', Some called the game 'Lolo' or something. It was a puzzle game, I remember my dad and me playing this funny game.(http://outerspace.terra.com.br/retrospace/materias/consoles/imagens/MSX/roadfighter.gif)
The famous 'Roadfighter' (by Konami), Frank (Cyborg-Frask) already mentioned this one.(http://outerspace.terra.com.br/retrospace/materias/consoles/imagens/MSX/kingsvalley2-MSX2.gif)
'Kingsvalley'!! The first game EVER with a map-editor! I was hooked from the beginning. Of course this was a Konami game.(http://outerspace.terra.com.br/retrospace/materias/consoles/imagens/MSX/MGear.gif)
'Metal Gear' (Konami), the BEST game I ever played!!(http://outerspace.terra.com.br/retrospace/materias/consoles/imagens/MSX/mgear2.gif)
Also the best game I ever played: Metal Gear 2: Solid SnakeAnd now people of my age are playing things like this:

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty (yup, a Konami game)Now you may speak again.

Who are my fellow Half Life fans?
If any :'(
Half Life belongs to the Doom 3 people I just mentioned. ;)

On my first pc I had a demo of a game I think was called "Pipeline", "WinPipe" or something like that. You were building a pipeline with pipes of different shapes and types, and after a while, oil started flowing from the source tank. How far before the oil reached the end of the line? Addictive and exciting, as far as I can remember, but I haven't been able to find the game, ever again. I would love to hear from someone that can recognize this.
I used to play the first Doom (and ofcourse Wolf3D ;) ) at my brothers PC (he had an adlib soundcard at the time, how cool :P)

I remember the soccer game we did by a friends birthday when I was about 10 years old in 1985, I tried once when I came at the goal of my opponent the ball went the wrong direction, but I never learned to play it properly, I think it was better then Davilex so it's 1-0 for You. The other games I don't know off. But Yes we compared MSX with the 386 & 486 computers then it's MSniks but it's a bit unfair. You can't compare 386 with Pentium 4 as well.

Well, I actually dunno exactly since I confuse some games with the Commodore (just as herben) I remember Eggland, and Roadfighter and Metal Gear, and on the Commodore some stupid soccergame (still dont like soccergames, smells like a frustration :P).
Besides that we had some game where you had to pick up and empty garbage-bins (resulted most of the time in running after the garbage-truck ;D) and a game with a crossbike jumpin' over some hills, quiet dull imho.

Sounds like you're describing "Pipe Mania" Deenfan. I got completely hooked on it when I had an Atari ST. I think it got ported to various machines, including the PS1.
Quote from: PH on Wed, 2005-11-09, 07:42:37

That is Marble Madness on the ATARI ST. The object of the game is to get the coloured marble through the maze to the goal at the end. There are plenty of tricks though, to name a few; Slinkys, which eat your marble; Acid Pools, which dissolve your marble; and The Black marble, which knocks you off of the edge of the maze. If you fall off from a great height your marble will smash, and be swept up. Every time something bad happens to your marble, you get a time penalty (because if all that wasn't enough, you have to complete the race before your time expires!)
If you do complete the level within the time limit, the remaining time will be carried over to the next level.
That screenshot shows the end part of Level 2. The blue marble (complete with white dots to make it look shiny...) has just come down the chute, and is seen sliding around on the ice.
Marvellous fun! ;D

Well in fact 'Larry' was a sexist.
You can compare him with Johnny Bravo, I hope you know who Johnny Bravo is?
@Marcello:
How old were you when you played Duke Nukem?? :o
Lol, Thanks for that, I do know who Johnny Bravo is.
How old was I? I think the first time I played it, I was about 7 ;D (I know you are going to tell me off for playing an 18 rated game at the age of 7, but come on, tell me you havent watched flims or played games that you were once under age to watch?)..................this was a long time ago though, so I can't remember exactly.
Even though I have games which are much better than DN, I still wish I could play it. It wont install on XP though :'(, because it was one of those games that you had to boot up in MS DOS.

Did you have to download any patches? Or did you buy it again for XP? Or is it just a mirracle?

most will work with DOS-prompt, otherwise you'll need to have a 'ported' version
i used to play DN with a class-mate in the computerroom of the school when no-one really believed we were playing against each-other (we just had something they called a 'network' at the time :P)

Sounds like you're describing "Pipe Mania" Deenfan. I got completely hooked on it when I had an Atari ST. I think it got ported to various machines, including the PS1.
Would love to know if there is a windows playable version of that one somewhere. It was veeeery addictive.
What about Arena...The Game?
As in a pixely sega version of Arena, the videogame. Adds that comic essence to the band
It seems that no-one actually gets the joke...
:'( How unfortunate, I was almost having vision of a pixelated clive for a moment
