bart_k Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Well, this thread is for a liitle nostalgia. What was the first game you ever played. Was it good or was it bad? For it was "the legend of zelda - link's awakening" for the gameboy. I first played it when I was 7, but I finished it for the first time when I was 10. Sincen then I have played it about 6 times to the end. And I still think it is one of the best zelda's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten10 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 First game I every play that I remember was some crappy word spelling game at school. You would type words in and then a crappy little character would do the actions but I guess that doesn't count as a game. My brother had a giant frogger thing which was like a frogger home arcade thing. It was crap and boring and probably cost 50 quid when he got it. I also remember playing Granny's garden on the old bbc's. I want to find that game and finish it, I always got caught by the witch granny thing. At the time I guess I didn't know I was learning. All I knew was that granny was a bad lady and I needed something from out of that house. Anyway to get an idea of how brilliant granny's garden was try this flash version someone made: Granny's Garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My very first own game was Mario Kart 64. I remember some good times with Super Mario World. Especially trying to get to every level via evey possible route. Especially the special in the star world was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacifica Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Think I've been playing games ever since I was born. I always remeber playing on the atari which was just amazing and still is (takes about 30mins to loads a game though). My grandad also had this thing with about 5 or so games on it, each controller was just a dial that you turned, but it had pong on it, now those were days of great gaming.

Awesome first game!! I've still got a copy of that in my bedroom, how hard is the electric seaweed bit? lol! I remember playing some proper old school games on my grandads spectrum & that old sports thing with the dials and the 4 sports!

Ginger_Chris Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Dizzy: The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure for the commador 64. damn that was so long ago, I must have been about 3 or 4 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I think it was some spy game on my older brother's Commodore 64. I can't remember the name of it but the first level your sky diving and the rest your walking along shooting things, you're kind of like a James Bond type character. Boy do I miss manually loading up those cassettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyellowbloke Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Mine was an old BBC game called Pod that I played in Primary School. You typed in commands such as "Pod can jump" or "Pod can run" and a little guy on the screen would do the action. I always thought it was hilarious to put "Pod can poo", but it would come up with "No, Pod cannot do that". First proper game though would be one from our first family computer. It had a load of games on it including Pacman, Rogue, Hangman, Crystal Caves and Duke Nukem. Oh I loved Duke Nukem so much, I forced my parents to buy the other two in the series; Duke on the Moon and Duke in the Future for christmas. I was so excited when I came down stairs and found Father Christmas listed in the high scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 It's a Binatone. Had like four basic games built in which were all kinda like pong iirc. I think I used to have one of those. Thanks for reminding me, it's been bugging me for ages what it was called. There were some games on the commodore 64 which I remember being pretty awesome. Cyberdyne Commando (i think) was pretty funky. They were my first games. However, they were handed down to me from relatives. The first game that was actually 'mine' was Super Mario AllStars on the Snes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuieBFC Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I remember playing on a machine like the binatone as my first game only it was meant to have two paddles and one got broke so i could only play a game called 'squash practice', pong against a wall. utterly pointless and boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Sonic The Hedgehog on MegaDrive. I think I was about 3 or 4. I don't think I've ever sat down and played it through, from Green Hill Zone to Final Zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
