g33kb0y Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Who Framed Roger Rabbit for the Apple II. I had a Franklin so it didn't play very well.

123456789A Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Ms. Pacman/Star Raiders on the Atari 400 We also had a "Basic" Programming cartridge with it, but I always thought it was some kind of game I couldn't figure out. :D I still have my Star Raiders! The first game I remember playing was probably Defender, also for the 400.

JustGeorge Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Combat for the Atari 2600.....Once I discovered it was 2 players only, I cried and bitched so much, my parents took me to town and bought me Ms. Pac Man (I was a bratt). Not proud of that, but what the hell, it worked! :D Good memories with that POS system. Ms.Pac Man, Pitfall, Asteroids, defender, Chopper Command, Robot Tank, Solaris, Star Raiders, Lazer Blast, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Megamania, Jungle Hunt, Enduro, Space Cavern, Keystone Kappers, Battlezone, Berzerk, Reactor, Q-Bert. David Crane and Activision ruled the roost back in those days. Also loved Saterday Mornings for the videogame oriented cartoons. God dang it was fun being a kid back in the 80's! I feel sorry for today's youth, having to deal with all of the political correctness and the constant pressure put on them these days :no: Anyone here remember a cartoon named "Mighty Orbots"?

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted September 28, 2012 Veteran Share Posted September 28, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaxxon when I was young ;) I'm 30 What a great, great game Zaxxon was. Sincerely and truly loved it. It was HARD as all hell too. Great one here. (Y) Q-Bert, River Raid, Asteroids, Star Raiders, Armor Ambush, The Empire Strikes Back, Pac-Man, and a Barnstorming game I cannot remember the name of all on the Atari 2600. Pitfall, Stampede, Smurfs, Danger (I think), Combat, Kaboom, Yars Revenge, Circus (I think), Empire Strikes Back, Tennis, and of course, Adventure, Berzerk. Those are the additional ones I remember... EDIT - Had to do it after I remembered those. Some classics on that list. And it seems I made some up as well. :laugh: EDIT 2 - I swear that Wikipedia page is missing some. I know FOR SURE Tennis was an Atari 2600 game, it was one of my favorites. And Nevermind, did not realize there was a second list. :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1108441-video-game-virgin-whats-the-first-game-you-remember-playing/page/3/#findComment-595211381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambroos Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Apogee's Hocus Pocus on our neighbours' PC running Windows 3.11 ^^ Or perhaps before that some game where you had balls bouncing around, and where you would click it would start generating a wall. You had to put all balls in their own rooms (as small as possible), if they would hit the wall while it was building itself you'd lose. Does anyone remember the name of that game? It was brilliant! Played it on Windows 3.x on a laptop with a trackball behind the display, really weird but pretty epic :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1108441-video-game-virgin-whats-the-first-game-you-remember-playing/page/3/#findComment-595211433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Reviews Posted September 28, 2012 Author Reviews Share Posted September 28, 2012 Heh. Who remembers sitting for hours typing in a game program from a PC Mag into the old C64? PLay for a while, turn it off, and have to re-type again if you want to play again (no way to save back then) What?! The Commodore 64 had both a tape drive (you could use any old cassette player - although it'd take a good 5 minutes to save/load a program) and a floppy drive! I remember typing in programs (from Ahoy! magazine, for example! :D ), but you could always save 'em. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1108441-video-game-virgin-whats-the-first-game-you-remember-playing/page/3/#findComment-595211649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
