The first computer game you ever played?

[Inconspicuous Trenchcoat]

Probably Lode Runner: The Legend Returns for Mac OS, or Sim Tower for Windows. Or maybe some educational PC game, like Basketball Typing (??) or Math Mountain. One of those, I'd wager.

Lode Runner is definitely my favorite among my earliest PC games. I made soooo many custom levels and made my brother play through them; especially the brutally hard ones.

Muppets Treasure Island

 

[Striface]

Im kinda young, but I guess it is the Lion King game.. you know, that platformer with simba growing up halfway through. Played it on the PC, my mom brught it home on 4 floppys or something Good times.

 

[Runswithscissors]

Commander Keen was the first game I played till the end. That and all the Putt Putt, Freddy the Fish, Where in the World is Carmen San Diago etc.

 

[Ch@Z]

Some Carmen Sandiego game in 98. I think it was Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

 

[Jennacide]

Lord of the Rings on the Odyssey. My parents still have it back home in the attic somewhere. Cloth map, ring coins and all. =o

 

[Kristoffer Sivertsen]

I we're talking PC it must have been Diablo 2 or a Star Wars game. Or maybe it was Myst?

 

[Queen Michael]

I think it was Boulder Dash on the school computers. It was called Bomber och Bumlingar, being in Swedish.

 

[Le_Lisra]

Mystic Tower and the first Prince of Persia.

 

[Unorthodoxx]

My first was Maniac Mansion, I was young then, but even as a kid I was able to memorize the Dos command to run the game. It was an old green screen computer, and I remember I was quite awful at the game.

 

[gorfias]

Fortress of the Witch King on the Commodore 64. It combined text with a big map that starts out as mostly a black screen, but uncovers forest, mountains, towns and water masses as you send out scouts to map an expanding area. When you have acquired enough troops in this turn based RPG, you enter the fortress which is like a maze until you find and defeat the witch king. There was no back story to explain why he deserved to die, but the name tells you something.

The one that REALLY got me in to games (yes I was a little older then most at the time) was Crash Bandicoot 2 on the PS1. Absolute awesome.

 

[GrinningManiac]

First one I can remember is either an awesome PC Rugrats game OR Earthworm Jim (which is one of the best games ever alltime forever et all)

First one I apparanrly played ever was DOOM when I was about 3

Apparantly I liked the exciting colours on the screen
