Double Dragon, Dark Castle and Brickball on my brand spanking new Amstrad in the mid to late 80's. Twas a simpler time to be sure....
The first game I ever played regularly was Doom. At the time my father's computer struggled to run it so it ran frustratingly slow. I think it came on 4 floppy disks - those big thin fat ones that no one uses anymore. Before this I was playing Super Mario on my gray Nintendo Game Boy. Doom made me give up the Game Boy the day I was introduced to it. I had never seen anything like that before - using guns and rockets to kill demons from hell. My father initially refused to get it for me so I begged and pleaded and reasoned why allowing me to play Doom was a good thing. In case the demonic hordes ever escaped their realm I could defend the house. Months of whining and dropping the word Doom in every conversation finally broke him and he had it installed for me. But like I said the computer could barely run it so I encouraged him to upgrade it. I kind of regret making such a fuss about a computer game now that I am almost 30 years old. Ha ha, funny thing was it turned out the Doom my father bought me was just the free shareware version. After you got to the Anomaly part of the map the game cut off there saying you had to buy the full version of the game to continue the doomed adventure.
The first pc game I ever played was Command & Conquer: Red Alert 1. I'm hooked on Command & Conquer games, altough the latest from EA are just not worth it.
My first PC game was a Trucker game for the Osborne executive series. It was a text-only strategy game, pretty fun given the technology at the time. Jon
I dont remember extactly the name, it was like 2 towers and you had to throw a banana from a gorilla to another, an antique PC 486 or something
That was a real classic game you had played, you didn't remember the name but I bet you loved that blurry screen
