Your First Game?

[BTGBullseye]

For me the games matter more than the actual hardware specs. I bought a Wii so I could play the new Mario games, the Metroid trilogy and Other M, and use it to play some older Nintendo games on my TV as well. I don't really care if the XBox is more powerful. It doesn't really have any games that interests me. I use my PC for gaming most of the time anyway.

 

Well if that's what you like... Using a Wii is not really gaming IMO.

 

In terms of shere epicness, I don't think any of the new consoles can compete with the Super Nintendo in how classic it has become.

 

I honestly have to agree 100%.

My first ever games were Solitaire and Minesweeper, on Windows 3.1. This was formerly a machine used in a bank. Later I got some diskettes with maybe 30+ freeware and shareware games, so I can not say with any certainty which one was the first. Among these games was Monster Bash shareware, a game I played countless hours with my dad. We always tried to beat each other's high scores.

 

This PC is still very much functional, I could set it up and take a walk through memory lane.

I remember playing Xenon 2 as well. Was probably my first shmup ever.

I played the DOOM 1 shareware demo endleslly on my uncle's PC when I was like 4 or 5... I didn't even know how the game got there, just played it over and over... like 10 years later while playing Zdaemon I realised there was a full game and a sequel... guess what, i haven't finished them....

Same here. I was probably like 6 when I played Doom for the first time.

My first game I think was either Marble Madness or Tetris on the old fat gameboys. Still play em.

Tetris never dies. It's permanently installed on my cellphone.

Anyone here played Dungeon keeper?

Neverhood!

Oddworld and

Jazz JackRabbit 2.

 

Awww... good times

[Alyxx Thorne]

I've played tons of Jack Jackrabbit 2, especially with my brother. He'd always be Spaz.

Yay, Spaz was my favourite one. Hangover rabbit who eats little birds!

And his special attack, I think he is a ninja too

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is awesome. I made some pretty badass levels with the level editor back in the days, still got them stored on my backup drive in fact. Too bad I don't actually have the game anymore, the disc is gone to some place, screaming for its owner to find it.

Either Myst or Lemmings. My family had a Windows 95 computer with those two games. Of course, at four years old, I didn't understand Myst, but I liked to explore the main island.

Lemmings I played a lot, but of course at four I also considered the harder difficulties no-mans-land.

Yeah. It was always fun playing co-op because both Jazz and Spaz had different special attacks.

It's very ironic, because one of the first I had on *my* first computer was actually Tomb Raider2 and first Half Life. I was just watching how my Dad's playing these games. I really liked the second one, but I was a bit to small for playing FPS.

I played Tomb Raider II a lot as well.

I don't think it is enjoyable when you can't beat most of Scrabania Levels. There ware hard sometimes
