Think it was zool on the pc.

Something about being a ninja-fly running around these sweetshop levels hitting things, a lot like mario.

Twas odd.

Lode Runner on the C64 and SNAFU on the Intellivision.

And who could forget Oregon Trail day in school...I'm sure there are plenty of people here that remember looking forward to that.

hanging out at the seaside in the arcade complex durring the 80's.

4 or 5 years old taking the bus on my own, i was a determined gamer.

original starwars game, the funky machines with rollerball controls (arkanoid) and them "twist" knobs (some tank game). i could barely reach the controls or see the screen (standing on tip toes). Original Spaceharrier would nearly throw me off cause i was so little.

local punk (yes punk) "gang" looked out for me so never had any trouble. One of them worked at the local shop and she would point me out the latest 2000ad and get me the cool comics.

my love for games, comics and pink hair has remained with me since then.

My first game ever played on the PC was Command and Conquer. Then the one that got me hooked onto RPGs was Ultima 7 the Serpent Isle.

Got a PS one soon there after..played most of the usual games..FF7 etc etc.

The earliest I remember are Barbarian, Bubble Bobble and Archon on my old commodore 64. They got me hooked.

Yoshi Story on Nintendo 64. My mom bought me a NIN64 and I played Yoshi Story and Mario Bro. Brawl or w/e it was with the basic characters. Then got into PS2 and played FF along with the other FFs on gameboy xD And the first PC game I ever played would be World of Warcraft for about 30 minutes, pissed me off, and along came GW

My 1st game I can remember playing on:

8bit console = Super Mario bros
16bit Sega MegaDriveII = Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (But after playing Mortal Kombat 1, there was no turning back to Sonic bwhahaha)
Sony PS1 = Crash Bandicoot
Sony PS2 = Gran Turismo (I can't recall which one tho, 2 or 3?)
PC = DUNGEON KEEPER! (okay, it was C&C, but I enjoyed DK so much more lol)

Yeah I used 2 b a console freak since primary school lol, the first (proper) pc in our home was in like '97 or so. So lemmings / larry & battlechess on a 486dx1 does not count XD
