Unofficial Tex Murphy

Tell me, amigos, what was your first computer game?
I am hard-boiled gamer since 1990. My first game was "Prince of Persia".
It was my first victory. I nailed that jerk Jaffar. He was a good fencer, but Alex was better!
So, tell me about your victories.

How can this be a non-tex topic when my first game was UAKM on a friends pc?

My first computer game period was Nova 9, back in 1991. My first Adventure computer game was Alone In The Dark, from 1991, or '92...can't remember which. Both were played on a Vista 386 16mhz, 40mg HD, 1 meg Ram and windows 3.0...sigh...amazing to think how long ago that was.

I can't remember exactly. I've been playing computer games for as long as I can remember. I think my first computer was a Commodore 64. But I also remember having an Atari too so I don't know, I guess it depends on which model of Atari as to the date... Anyway the first games I really rememebr playing are text adventure games. Such as Treasure Island and Mission Impossible. But I would always get stuck at labrynth sections since it was tough with nothing to look at. e.g. in Treasure Island it was the endless cave tunnels and with Mission Impossible it was the endless coridoors! Casette tape games hehe....
Also had some other popular games like Qbert, Pacman, Space Invaders etc. And a pack of minigames like bowling and trying to get chickens across roads with heavy traffic!
Then I had a Master System, MegaDrive, GameBoy Colour, Playstation (first game: Final Fantasy VII), PC (first game: Little Big Adventure) and finally Playstation 2.

My first PC game was probably Alley Cat.
First adventure game, Police Quest.

First ever game was probably Pitfall on my neighbours Atari 2600.

First computer was Commodore 128 around 1988. Can't remember what was the first game, but one I remember particularily clearly is Who Dares Wins II.

I remember playing Hangman on a Victor 286 notebook (~10" monochrome display) in the mid 80s. That and an ASCII based game that resembled Pacman.

Frist computer game I ever played was Wolfenstein 3D

The frist cimputer game I ever played on my own PC was Under a Killing Moon. As you can imagine it set the bar pretty high in terms of standards.

-Cub. =o)

I had a new Tandy (Radio Shack) computer and the first game I played was a golf simulation. Got fairly good at it, too.

Out Run on the Sinclair Spectrum +3. A hand-me-down from my cousin with other games like Road Blasters, Spy Hunter, Gift From The Gods, and a little game by some obcure software company by the name of 'Access Software' called World Class Leaderboard.

Let's see. 1st computer game. Kingdom of Kroz. I think it came in Big Blue Disk magazine circa 1988.

1st EGA game, Battle Chess (it's just a flesh wound)
1st game spent WAYYYY too much time on, Wolfenstein 3D, I still hear the sound of pushing on the walls in my sleep.

1st video arcade game "Space Invaders"
1st video Arcade game to spend WAYYY too much time on, Tempest, that game ROCKED!
1st video game that gave me creeped me out, but loved it, "Dragon's lair".

My 1st video game system at home was the Odyessy, with a keyboard and everything. I played alot of Pong. But my personal favorite was the ColecoVision, cause the Donkey Kong was almost exactly like the arcade version.

Pitfall was pretty cool, I loved swinging on the vines, but jumping on the gators head??? pppffftttt!!! Down the hatch!

That old computer could actually play the first Microsoft Flight Simulator once we hooked up an EGA monitor to it. You had to turn the notebook over, remove a cover, and change a dipswitch in order to get video through Video Out.

After that computer I moved on to SEGA Master System.

My first computer game was Mad Dog Macree. It came with my first computer along with a demo of Under a Killing Moon. It was a short demo of when you have to find chocolate for Clint. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever played, but I was too young to know what it was. It would be years later that I bought a double pack game of Under a Killing Moon, and Pandora Directive that I would even notice that the demo was for this game.

My first game was an advernture game and I dont remember what the name was. I do remember playing The hitchhikers guide to the universe on diskettes. My first fmv was a game called Ripper, it had Christopher Walken. I never finished it, ended up selling it and then bought a used copy off eBay. Ripper lead me to Tex , my first Tex game was Pandora.

I've got fond memories of the Oregon Trail game dad brought home to play on our brand spakin' new Apple IIGS back in the day (20-some-odd years ago).
The first I owned personally was Star Trek: 25th Anniversary by Interplay circa 1992. Played it on the first family Compaq.
