edlder scrolls: oblivion!
with all those mods you can put in! it was so awesome!!!

 

[Rubisco]

Good 'ol Pacman!

 

[Furioso]

Some game that was like a deer hunter, but you hunted dinosaurs, you had a trophy room and all, the major flaw in the game was for some abstract reason you had to shoot T-Rexs in the eyes to hurt them, but if someone remembers the name of that game tell me!

 

[vivalahelvig]

Watching my dad play Rise of the Triad! and then playing it myself and getting running around getting shot.

 

[Dragonblade146]

Carnivore.
Defintaly not Carnivore 2 cause T-rex had now been able to be headshots.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Number Muncher. Long, long ago...

 

[Timmons]

Age of empires 1... I think.. it was a while ago... or MS combat flight sim 1, or Unreal tournament :/ all great games

 

[FortheLegion]

Well I feel like a late comer I started gaming when i was 6ish and the first video game i played was Spyro. The First computer game i played was tribes 2 awesome game.....

 

[Nifarious]

Probably Pac Man or Mrs. Pac Man...though the first game I fell in love with was Bubble Bobble.

I should look for a way to play that again sometime...

Bubble Bobble was great! I think I had that on the Amiga. Wasnt there a sequel, something about rainbows?

Wow, well, apparently they've tried continuing Bubble Bobble on all the way up to the DS (though apparently that version has the original bubble bobble and a 'new' version which not only sucks, but also has a bug that keeps you from going past level 30 out of 100...Rainbow Island looks like the PS version, btw.

I guess I'll just hold onto my childhood memories of playing through to the top, impossible levels w/ my Dad.

I think it was frogger or Spyro on the PS1. Then I saw my dad playing quake 3: revolution for PS2 and thought it looked fun. Hardcore bloody kill rampages are what I was raised on, and I have absolutely no psychological disorders other than a very dark sense of humour. Maybe it's why I kick ass at most Id FPS games.
Also, first COMPUTER game was like a point and click adventure about that disney movie Dinosaurs. First computer game I actually finished was Quake 2, around a year ago. I've just now started PC gaming, although I've had about 12 PC games between That dinosaur game and Robot alien zombie killfest 2, but never finished them. Partly because I didn't like point and click which was most of them, and partly because they have glitches.

YES that sounds right thanks I have some nostalgia to rediscover!

 

[SuperNashwan]

I think it was one where I had to type words quickly enough to save a lil' man in a spaceship. In between levels he'd jump out and moonwalk.

Needless to say I can type 88 to 95 wpm still.

Lol that sounds fun Was that another edutainment thing? It would be cool if it taught you to moonwalk too ...

 

[SuperNashwan]

Heavy Gear 2 on linux.

Then Maze on yahoo lol.

Then it was some disney platformer, and some random racing game.

After that, i got Quake III Arena. ^.^ Then it came to Duke Nukem: Mahattan Project, then i found Morrowind.

Blimey thats incredible detail. You must have a photographic memory or something
