What was the first game and the first computer you ever played on?

[Art Vs Science]

that game was superb!

you had to start in div 3 and then only get offered the job of the team that finished 3 places higher than you,so getting brighton could take years

seem to recall newport county being the ultimate challenge,on gates of around 1500 and shit players to boot

Wow, yeah i remember Newport County being a pain in the arse. After all these yrs it still stays with me that game. .............Inc the Screeching casette tape to load the game.

It was certainly the beginning of Football Management games

Remember playing a maze game on the zx81. Then got a Amstrad 464 and loved harrier attack.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Spectrum ZX and a horse racing betting game called Derby Day. 1984 I think.

Computers where more exciting in the old days. I went the commodore route.

Vic 20 then Commodore 64
First games I remember playing where Duck Shoot on the Vic 20.



Every Saturday we used to get the bus to Brighton and visit a computer shop called Gamer. Does anyone remember this shop? When you walked in everyone used to gather around the commodore Amiga 500. Everyone was blown away by the juggler demo



A few years later, and after getting my first job, I managed to save my money and get the Amiga 600. It was brilliant.

I miss those days.

I'm not sure exactly what the first would have been, but we had an Amiga 500+ (with a second floppy drive!) and some family friends who worked for Microprose, so a ton of their games would periodically show up at our house. There were some classics there - Railroad Tycoon, Gunship 2000, Grand Prix 2. Marvellous scenes.

This was mine, My grandparents bought me this for Xmas 1979 when i was 11 !!

That was mine too....state of the art stuff back then and many happy hours spent on a wet school holiday playing it !!!

pffft, mines nowhere near as old as some stated. Medal of Honor Allied Assault on PC, Windows 2000 i believe ha.

Something on the Amstrad 6128, not entirely sure which was the very first game, it would have been one of:

Arkanoid

There were a bouple of threads that mentioned football games earlier. This was my favourite.

I remember feigning a headache a turning down a nailed on shag from a particularly buxom wench during sixth form summer hols, just because I had players with 'i' next to their name on FD plus I was in the promotion places. FD 2 in about 1989 was even better.

And don't forget Brian Cloughs Football Fortunes.

do you know i never did do "the double" and i played that game for years!
the nearest i got was winning the league,but losing the cup final on pens!

my brother claims to have done it,but he had prevoius for saving and reloading before cup games

if my memory serves me right,the real shite players were on 160 quid a week
how times have changed!

£320 were the big guns I think. I do not remember doing it it other than I cheated once

 

[BBassic]

First game for me was Escape From The Planet of The Robot Monsters on my old Atari STE

 

[SeagullinExile]

Hungry Horace - ZX81 or was ZX Sprectrum..i cant remember!

 

[SeagullinExile]

Spectrum ZX and a horse racing betting game called Derby Day. 1984 I think.

F me! I remember that...classic!

 

[madinthehead]

Pong for me too.. Also got a speccy later.. First games were a breakout game and chequered flag



Footywise Football Manager and Matchday were also early runners..



With the excellent Match of the day theme tune!!

 

[MJsGhost]

That wasn't the first game I played, but it was one of the first - awesome memories! I think there were others in the series too - Treasure Island Dizzy was one I think.

The first game I played was one of the early football management games on the BBC at my Aunt & Uncle's place in the mid 80s.

Once I got my own computer (an Amiga), I was addicted to Sensible Soccer, The Settlers and Cannon Fodder!

 

[happygull]

Mine was circa 84/5 and a game called Raid over moscow *so politically correct back in the day* ... had it on the spectrum ZX and then boughtthe same game on the C64 sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh happy days
