Thanks, Impy.
Who played Ceaser 3?

[Kellen]

Aye, back in the days of the Atari and records and black and white tv. (Or for me, at my uncle's, since he seems to perpetually live in that time.)

Thanks, Jarno for the link.

IIRC I'm walking almost the same stretch of the Old Road as is CalJones; the first game I played was Atari Pong in 1976/7. Following that, nothing until I discovered a BASICA version of Adventure a.k.a Colossal Cave in about 1982 which ran under CP/M on my CalText LSI3 at work (2 x 620K 8" floppy drives running at 2Khz. HDDs were still well into the future - Project Winchester was about a year away at that time). The game was buggy and I was no programmer, but over the course of quite a few weeks I figured out how the source code worked and fixed every bug as I hit it. Bloody game led to two lifelong fixtures; RPGs and programming.

Yes, I did beat the d*mn thing - eventually. Blowing up the sleeping dwarves with dynamite was the highpoint of the game <evil grin>. It took me days to figure out I needed to hide down the drain after I'd lit the fuse.

The first I can remember playing were Treasure Island (on my commodore) and The Mummy on the Amstrad. Then came Jacaranda Jim and Humbug on the PC. The first graphical games I *really* remember playing on the PC were Monkey Island and Loom. Good times

Wow....I think Mario Bros. 1 and that track and field game with the power pad for Nintendo was my first. For console anyway.

PC...well...Apple...hmmm READER RABBIT OMG. Also, this fun game where you have to go through these "rooms" and collect stuff and try not to be eaten by an alligator/monster thing. It had orange graphics with a black background.

Later years involved me as a 7/8 year old obsessed with Microsoft Golf and Wolfenstein 3D.

Who played Ceaser 3?

Me! Me! Me! Although I was well in my teens when I played it, so it's a far shot from being one of my first games. But it's a good one, and I tend to think they improved on the concept with Pharaoh (I never get sick of building mastabas and pyramids and sun temples and sphinxes and obelisks, and... *sighs* Good old days!

First PC game: Leisuresuit Larry, about 1986.

Oh gosh, I remember those!... I'm not sure how aware my parents were that my sister and I were playing that series....

[Lythari]

First game I've ever played? I don't remember, maybe Mario.

Ah, Age of Empires! I played that, too, but it wasn't the first game I played. I only had the trial version, if I remember correctly.

I remember that game. I've also had a trial version. Virtual IQ of people in that game always made me lol (and annoyed sometimes...). They never wanted to listen to my orders.
I remember that I used to make the fence of the stone walls and chase gazelles into it, and then put a townsman to guard them as a shepherd. And make catapult duels, to see which one destroy the other first. And the priests were hilarious. Ah, you brought good old memories.

I remember a game, named Fable. (Not TLC).

[Archmage Silver]

It was something I played on DOS, but since there were multiple games available to me, I can't recall which one it was.

[Bluenose]

Pong, some time in the 1970s when my school obtained it's first computer.

In arcades, I can't remember but Space Invaders or Pac Man are likely.

The first I played on a computer I owned would have been one from the V for Victory series - probably the second, Velikie Luki.

[Jazhara7]

Uuuh...not sure, actually.

We had an AMIGA, and a computer with Win 3.1 and several DOS games even when I was a kid - I learned navigating DOS pretty early on, though it's more likely that I played games on the AMIGA before that, since from game to game worked this way: Stick in game disk and start computer. If you want to play something else, you turn off the computer, and put in another disk, and start the computer again. Once you know which way the disks go in, you're pretty much all set.

So it's likely it was one of our AMIGA games. "Rick Dangerous", "Giana Sisters", "Titus the Fox", "Clown Mania", "Rock'n'Roll Ball", "Emerald Mine" (or was that for DOS? ), maybe even "Wheel of Fortune" or "The Price is Right", despite me not being able to read much back then.

I think my first pc game was either Lord of the Realms 2 or Age of Empires

[Aliya]

GTA 1 & 2? Classics!

[Danilus]

First game I ever played? Super Mario Brothers for the NES. For the PC my first game was Baldurs Gate 1 when it was first released.

I've been addicted to it ever since

[Tempest]

Odell Down Under. In my defense, I was still in middle school... first semi-serious game I ever played was Outpost.
