COMMUNITY - FORUMS - THE TAVERN
GAMER ORIGINS

Hullo everybody!

I thought it would be fun if we could all share our first game that we played, or the first game you remember as having some significance in your life.

Just write the game, the console and (if you can remember) the year you played it!

I'll start us off.

Jade Cocoon / PlayStation / 2001

Can't wait to see where you guys started! I'll try to read everyone's!

Masken / Vic 20 / 1981 or 82

Masken was the swedish name on the game, translated it should be the snake or the worm or something like that.

My father gave me the computer and told me that machines like that was the future. As always, he was right.

Joust back on the Atari ST, trying to make little pixel birds jump on each other back when I was 4 or 5 years old.


Constant optimism will not solve your problems, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

Lol. Pong also. Sometime in the 70s, Dad bought some kind of console that plugged into the TV and we played for hours, It was simple but totally different from everything else
