Tdarcos, what was the first video game you remember loving?


I'd be hard-pressed to say. There was a video-game console I think was the Odyssey and it had some game that I found fascinating, enough so that I tried to get my mother to buy it.

I think Dragon's Lair was the first coin-op game that blew me away. The one I really liked playing was Paperboy.

As far as PC games, probably Wolf-3d - it forced me to buy a 286 to play it - or Doom, which forced me to buy Pinback's 386.


Did you ever have an 8088? I got my 8088 very late, so the original Mechwarrior was glacially slow, but playable. Most of the games I played were probably meant for the 286 processor, actually. The original Madden Football was unbelievably fun. Starflight, that I already mentioned, and the old D&D gold box games, like Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds. (Secret of the Silver Blades was completely terrible IMO. Pools of Darkness starts right out destroying the town you'd spent your entire career saving, so I flipped my keyboard. Actually, it seemed good but I never got into it.) There was a game I loved, Space Station Oblivion. I never solved all the levels but it was pretty neat.
