Spring RTS Engine

first game was towers of hanoi.

for what system?... or are you refering to "Historically, the first game in recorded history was 'The Towers of Hanoi'"

I think my first video game was probably Space Invaders for the Atari home computer system OR super mario bros. for the NES. I was 8 at the time so it's hard to remember.

super mario (1) for gameboy (the big un)
awesome, fun and fairly challenging (once you go through the game once it gets a _lot_ harder :))

My first game was Super Mario Brothers 3 for the NES. That game pwns most games that come out nowadays. I would play Super Mario Brothers 3 over Counterstrike any day.

I had this really cool 500-in-1 game thingy from Korea for the NES, it was really like 12 pirated games with 500 different names.

Did it have "Wild Ball"

my first computer game? Comodore 64, some kind of fighter sim.

On PC? Good old OTA.

Heh, I had one of them felix.

It had this tank game, where you had to blow up walls and kill the enemy, uh, some "charlies circus" game, which I spent days trying to beat... A million top down shoot 'em up aircraft games, and heaps of tetris knockoffs...

Except, it wasn't just a pirate game, the whole console was a dodgy knockoff. :D

When I was, like, 8, Fredrick the foriegn exchange student from France was living at my grandparent's house, and he installed some games on their computer. I then would go over there, and play them:

some wierd 2D golf simulation game
some wierd hovercraft capture the flag game
Jazz Jackrabbit
Tyrian
Descent

yeah that sure was! my whole family played it, my mon was even the most hooked to it lol!

ooohhh wizball krakout riverraid boulderdash. Ah the memories.

Kickman Quo Vadis Pool of Radiance. Getting a floppy disk drive with 166k. Games so big that you could only fit one of them on a floppy disk. Bards Tale. Raid over bungelling bay (the game that inspired Simcity lol). Typing in games from the magazine into computer - mostly typing in hundreds of lines of code to then type run and ?syntax error on line 380 - or a game that ran at 4 frames per second with 2 animated object - but also several thousand rows of numbers to enter the machine code for Crossroads II pandemonium - which was just the pwniest.

Cosmic Relief was the first game I played on the C64.

Shoot 'em Up game construction program was cool, although I could never get it to do the things I wanted.

Another great game was Racing Destruction

This thread is waay offtopic

I think my first computer game experience was on a TRS80 III. I seem to remember it it involved looking after your harvests, feeding you population getting promoted from Sir to Knight to Lord to King.

Anyone remember "The orgeon trail"?

I will kill each and every one of you in "BallBlazer", "Way of the Exploding Fist", and the original Mario Bros.

I always love hearing Atari fans complain about the game crash of '84. It was a very good year for C64 games.

and always, there was a two sided thing going on between c64 and atari, c64 rocked, atari didn't

c64 ftw!
