i challenge anyone to find games that had power armor before 1987

Warhammer 40,000.

Correct. It was never specified that they had to be video games.

i challenge anyone to find games that had power armor before 1987

When were Metroid and Mgaman both created? If before 1987, then either of those. Otherwise, Warhammer 40,000.

Unfortunately, I believe that's why the OP specified 1987 - that was the year the first edition of Rogue Trader came into print.

OT - I will need time to research, I shall return!

EDIT - From Wikipedia (the source of everything that is not quite accurate) -
Powered armor (also called CAS or Combat Armored Suits) has appeared in a wide variety of fiction, beginning with E. E. Smith's Lensman series in 1937. Since then, it has featured in science fiction movies and literature, comic books, video games, and tabletop role-playing games. One of the most famous early versions was Robert A. Heinlein's 1959 novel Starship Troopers, which can be seen as spawning the entire sub-genre concept of military "powered armor."

megaman is a robot he doesnt wear power armor and samus wears what i call just a spacesuit it doesnt have the characteristics of power armor or any armor that is beeing made in video games at the moment

Samus is a female bounty hunter usually fitted with an armor suit with weapons that include beams and missiles.

That is a direct quote lifted from the Wikipedia page for Samus Aran. Here's the link to the page, if you want to check:

And for the record, Metroid came out in 1986. A full year before your target. So yes, it is power armour, and it meets your timing criteria. I win this one.

nope your second place lol i just googled what generic gamer said about the sacred armour of antiriad on zx spectrum and that armour looks alot more like the armour in wh40k btw he posted earlier i guess he takes the first place

Ah, but I wasn't talking about winning the thread. I just meant that I won our little brief dispute over Samus Aran .

Hmmm. I could have sworn it was older. I guess I'm dumb then.

you win i just googled it and it looks alot like the armour of wh40k so yeah i guess warhammer 40 k wasn't the first instance of power armour .And nope i picked the date when warhammer 40k board game was released

Ah I see. I didn't realise it was only from '87 actually. Here's something to think on though: a LOT of 40k's story is borrowed from other places. 40K is basically a patchwork of popular geek stories that has over time taken on a story of it's own.

i agree with that but still world of warcraft coppied a tonload of stuff from warhammer 40 k universe like orcs and some over shit lol

 

[John47]

they still got slaughtered in the movie pretty fast lol,and about the description i dont think they made the power armors in the movie according to the book an armor THAT technically advanced has to be atleast 10 kg or maybe 5kg but i mean look at crysis the nanosuit is like a pyjama lol

The MI Suits (as they are called in the book) don't appear in the films until the third installment. In the first two films the soldiers don simple body armour & helmets.

OHHHHH those walker like things you mean? they are more of a mech then power armor

Well, no, as several people have mentioned power armour was used in books well before Warhammer was invented

Nah, I'll agree with you that it seems longer ago than that. The first thing I thought of when I saw the OP was "A hah! I've got your arguement beat with Rogue Trader! Now to find out when it ... was ... first ... pub ... Oh. Crap.".

So, no, you ain't dumb.
