E3245 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 My first game must of been Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest for SNES. My dad game me the controller, and at that moment, my life changed forever. Now I play almost any game, whether it be official or indie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted2547005User Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Descent 2. Loved the combat and simpleness of the game. The addiction died down for some time, until I got my first job. Start playing Half-Life 2 and Resident Evil 5. Haven't stopped gaming since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menageryl Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 ' Man, I think I played the original (i.e. first) game from / of just about every game series people have listed here. Yowch! ' Anyway. The big draw to me when I first got gaming were generally the Sierra-created "Quest" series (plural). Though if you wanted more specifics the two that grabbed me best, hardest, and repeatedly were the Space Quest series (it's humour was unparalleled at the time) and - the big one - Quest for Glory!' I played those original QfGs to death - stuck my nose in everywhere, tried everything, and maxxed out my character's stats through serious grind just so I'd have something of an advantage when I imported said character into the sequel! ' I have the whole QfG anthology installed to my Windows 7 laptop - replaying across the series as inspired and able to do so - especially considering the old floppy with my exported character from each game is missing somewhere! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazaster Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Sid Meirs Pirates! It was the first PC game I ever bought way back in 1987(or last week to me) It came in a 'proper' box with 'faux' wooden surround and a drawing of one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen on the back. Inside was a couple? of 5 1/4 inch floppy disks, a big fat manual and a huge map made out of dead peoples skin(probably). I loved that game and played for hours at a time, sailing across the carribean. Later they released Pirates!Gold which was the exact same game but with VGA graphics, but somehow it didn't seem as good. And the final? version in the 2000's was a little lame. And thats how I became a sad lonely little gamer with no life :unsure::pirate:http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff385/Dazasterous/Sid_Meiers_Pirates_1987_Coverart.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman5000 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 My gaming addiction started with commodore64 my first computer, I remember the ridiculous loading times for those games, they were no fun apart from getting mesmerised by the rapid colourful strips! :tongue: The ones I spent most time on were, - Flimbos Quest- Kwik Snax (highly addictive)- Several Dizzy games- Fiendish Freddies Big Top o' Fun- Klax- Bubble Bobble- Rainbow Islands- New Zealand Story- Shadow of the Beast (could never get far)- Batman- Ghostbuster (could never get far and had to wait for loading every time I lost my lives :wallbash:) There were others but can't remember them right now. I spent most of my childhood indoors playing games, i've been addicted for over 20 years now and can't see me ever getting bored :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erenar Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 BBC B/Master/SpectrumEliteChucky EggManic Miner/Jet Set Willy AmigaFrontierCannon FodderFlashback PCXComMechwarrior 1 & 2Doom/Quake/UTX Beyond the Frontier Elite was the culprit though... the others just accentuated it further. And yeah... those early load times... damn i hated it when you'd get 20 mins in and it would fail :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
