Wolfenstien, Before I had windows (gogo dos). ;)

Haha, I remember that game too. They spoke real german and I thought the screensaver in Windows 95 (I forgot which one ...) was the game so when I was sleeping and woke up I thought my computer was playing itself.  :o

I also remember Doom. Damn taht was fun.

I remember the old days of my tandy, it owned so much. I remember some game packs on disks or something (can't remember what they were called :()they were so fun at the time.

Apogee game pack.

Duke Nukem, Duke Nukem II, Commander Keen (OMFG OWNAGE), such goodness! :(
No, that's not what it was called. And much older.

Well, that's the only game pack CD I remember. :P

I remember that at about .. 3-4 years old o_0
CD? The game pack things I'm talking about were before CD-Roms existed :P

Eibro

I don't really remember.
Warcraft 1, I think it was.
There was also Wolfenstein, Doom, and Spear of Destiny (I think that was a Wolfenstein expansion pack)

This was many years before I got my first computer.
Eibro of Yeti Lovers.

Skywing

You can't leave out Commander Keen!

The first real online game was EMPIRE, two decades ahead of Doom.

My gaming began in 1977 at Florida State University on their PLATO systems.  See the second picture down (PLATO IV touch station) on this article.

That's a flat-screen plasma computer monitor they invented just for PLATO --

haha, I'm always saying how much fun Commander Keen was and the first Duke Nukem. Those were about my first games on DOS that and this game called Jill of the Jungle heehe :x was awesome.

My -first- PC game that I loved and still do was Dig Dug on my old commodor. (Old commodor still works actually but its a pain in the ass to set up on to the TV) hehe

First video game all togather, well thats simple~ Super Mario Bros. considering I was 2~3 years old my first memories were mainly watching my father and uncle playing it hehe.
- Hostile is sexy.

Shit, now I got more memories. Of even more old games. Holy shit hehehhe

Of game CD packs that had like .. 50 games. Fuck, I can't even name the damn games. :(

I just remember a whole fuckload of little pictures of games, and you can click them and a demo loads! =D

If I remember Ill post it later. Maybe even play it if I see a picture o_0

And I found my old apogee game pack. It won't even load  :'(

Oh I thought this was just computers, I played Zelda on NES. But my favorite game was road rash on SNES.

Adron

Me too. I played some game with a hamburger theme on an atari console a very long time ago.. It was an arcade platform type game.

Very Long ago -> Worms 2, Worms Armageddon, Worms World Party

Long ago -> Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (No Battle.net)

Not so long ago - > Diablo II: Lord of Destruction

Past few months/present -> Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
I'm fairly sure that those Worms games are newer than Warcraft II.

It's where i started, warcraft ii was around well before i even knew about it

Maybe it's odd that you started playing a new game, then went back a couple generations to an old game?

Pong isnt JUST a Game
