The King of GnG Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Uhm, it could be some arcade of the golden age (Ghosts'n Goblins? Exed Exes? Black Tiger? Commando? Choplifter?), or maybe Advanced Dungeons & Dragons for the Intellivision. Surely the first two PC games I saw and played were "The Amazing Spider-Man" (on an Olivetti Prodest PC1, an IBM XT-clone) and the original Prince of Persia on a 10 MHz 80286 (an Olivetti PC again). Aaaaaah, those were the days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lingwo Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 First i played i think it was for my brothers Amstrad (don't know the specific model). I believe the game was called Terrahawk (not the tv show). Then it was on the various games on the Atari XL and XE. When i became a hardcore gamer was with the Commodore 64. I used to play that for hours on end, until my brother would come in and have a go and manage to break a joystick after a few goes. The amount of joysticks we went through. Luckly in them days you could go pick one up from a car boot for 50p and another 10 games for a quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal_dragen Veteran Posted September 28, 2012 Veteran Share Posted September 28, 2012 I don't exactly remember the first, but it was a string of Apogee and Sierra shareware titles that got me started - Commander Keen, King's Quest, Raptor: Call of the Shadows, Rise of the Triad. I moved on from that to games like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D, the original Duke Nukem, Tie Fighter and X-Wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jamwheat Subscriber² Posted September 29, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted September 29, 2012 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. :) Yeah, but if you didn't *have* the tape drive, or floppy drive at the time....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDavy Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The first game I remember playing was 'KC Munchkin', which was clearly a Pac-Man rip-off for the Philips Videopac G7000 console (http://computermuseu...rands/g7000.htm) - I wanted an Atari VCS 2600 for Christmas, and I got this piece of crap instead. I got my first 'proper' computer in '82 - a Sinclair Spectrum with a huge 16Kb of RAM! Finally, the ecstacy of Jet Set Willy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
