... you ever played?

Remember, a computer game, not a console or stand-alone game.

The first game i ever played was called Car Crash. It was on the Game Pack cassette that came bundled with the ZX81.

I even managed to find a screenshot!


Intense stuff i think you'll agree!

I created a visual basic version of that

Except you had to dodge cones and your speed constantly increases so the challenge is to simply reach the highest speed without hitting any cones.

In answer to the actual purpose of this thread i think i first played a very basic Formula 1 game on a prehistoric packard bell.

Ahhhhhhh the ZX81 lol, brings back good memories.....but I can't remember the 1st game I played on it lol.

Minesweeper on Windoze 95 lol. That woulda been about 1999.

Talking console wise, GTA the original when i was 2. Mums boyfriend at the time taught me left nd right with that game. I only liked drivin round, not the killing bits lol.

The Sims

(I still play it every once in a blue moon too!)

Sonic the hedgehog on the Sega Megadrive.

1st console and i loved it, was only 4!

Not a console, Dave, a PC game!

Full throttle...the lad on the bike, lost it and cant find it on the web...

Ach thought i'd tell you what filled up my childhood!

My first PC game...hmmm, would be Samantha Fox's poker on the Amstrad tape thingy.

Best PC game of all time: Age of Empires, the rise of Rome.
Any challenges are welcome as it's online multiplayer!

I'd sweep ya off the board with Age of Empires... the game version though, not online.

Lol, I first played Lemmings online when I was seven.

Best game in the world I thought

Spinner, you ever played Age of empires??

sonic or mario...i think.

I've never been able to devote the time necessary to really get into it, but i always preferred strategy games like those.

I keep thinking i should try out a few newer games, but keep going back to the old faves!

(and yes, my "old faves" are veeery old)

lol i used to play lemmings i think thats what it was called, something like that on the old apple computers when i was like in 5th grade.. lol it came on one of those huge floppy disk.. here it is now lol..

On a PC the first game other than solitaire and minesweeper was lemmings.

1st game on a console...errr...Gremlins 2:the new batch for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) followed closely by Super Mario Bros (the first one) and Duck Hunt...with the gun!

Aladdin was my first game on the Mega Drive.

Tarzan was my first on the Playstation. (My own PS1 at least)
