Your First Comp and Game.

lets see how this goes.

my first personal comp was an Aptiva 486 w/ 3.1 windows. the first game i ever played on it was Wolfenstein3d, followed by Doom and later C&C Red-Alert =) the good ol' days.

to remember Red Alert i actually recently purchased C&C 'The First Decade' because it's such a smashing fun game.

RE: Your First Comp and Game.

My very first game played I guess would be the old Two Joystick Pong, I was like 2ish at the time. ^^ ~~My first computer, I can't remember. But my first PC game, and I'm being Honest, is Guild Wars. ^^~~

*edit*
I vaugly remembermy first PC now, it was one of those really old Apple's. I cant remember the OS it used, but it was like in Late 89 or Early 90, when I had it. :) And with that said, Guild War's wasn't my first PC game ;_:, its like my 4th. xD I can't remember what my first computer game was, but it was on that Apple.

RE: Your First Comp and Game.

My first Computer was probably a very old computer but i remember it was made by HP Pavillion? I think the first game i ever played on it would be Freddy the Fish, the first real game i think i played on it would be Roller Coaster Tycoon. (atleast i was honest)

RE: Your First Comp and Game.

Let's see... I remember a really old DOS running computer, I can't recall the type, but I played Tom & Jerry on it. I would say my first real gaming was Dick Tracy's Crime Solving Adventure on my 286 (Complete with windows 3.0)

RE: Your First Comp and Game.

TOTAL EDIT!

After some thinking, my first computer experience may not have been with the Commodore 64, as I believe my dad replaced it with a top of the line, $3500, 8MB RAM, Intel Pentium (1) Dell in 1995 (right when Wind0ze 95 was hot on the market). As far as games, I'm thinking it might have been Buzzy Explores the Airport for Windows 95.

that link is obviously to the newer, updated version for Windows XP, not for the old '95 version. XD

RE: Your First Comp and Game.

My first computer was an OLD mac....not the first one that came out, but it was old enough for the screen to be Black and White.

I believe my first game was some maze-style game where you drive this little pod-like thing around and had to do little puzzles. Kinda like Chip's Adventure, but more futuristic.

EDIT: Correction, my first game was Prince of Persia on the Mac. It was on one of those huge disk things(not the 5" floppy disks). Incase anyone can identify the disk.....It was about the size of a 5" floppy, but it was encased in a hard transparent plastic, and the disk in it was metal.

I used to play games with my dad on an old Amiga computer. I remember playing a circus game, some racing game, and The Three Stooges. Good times.

RE: Your First Comp and Game.

My first PC was a 8bit ZX Spectrum (3.5 MHz cpu & 48k RAM) and I had to write my own damn games!

Through the Wall
Moon Lander
Hot Pursuit'alikes

And when you were done writing them you could save them to a cassette tape.

Wiki Link

This makes me sound old but if you kids wanna bitch about ANet and Err 7's you should try writing Pong for yourselves and then you'd realise what ANet have to do....Mind you they are getting paid for it!

I did say it made me 'sound' old ;)

I recently did a project for a guy and while we were having a meeting he pulled out a whole stack of punchcards which he now uses for taking notes; he used to have to have his code working within 3 tests, the 3rd time it was compiled it was expected to be complete and bug free!

He remembers when C was just a new fad all the kids were playing with!!

From paper tape reels & punchcards to 3rd & 4th gen languages within one mans lifetime, I find that quite astonishing!

RE: Your First Comp and Game.

First computer: Sinclair ZX81

Rofl, I was 7, and all I remember was it took around 10 minutes to load games from an audio casette, using the command:

CODE

Load \"\"

First game: It was a 2d black and white block car racer, not sure of the name.

--

I got a Spectrum 48k afterwards, and loved to play Manic Miner, Jetset Willy and JetPac, among others.

Since then I've had loads, and loads of comps, consoles and games of every genre.[/B]
