Before, there was moon patrol on 8086(rocked in computer lab classes. Only two types of monitors: green or brown).
Ski or die, was the first game on 386/486 to love so much(oh oh oh...an EA game  ), but as mentioned above, Civilization made as the first game that sucked me in.
Ah, the atari days. Though, I can't remember which games I liked on that machine. 
Handheld devices? Woot, my first ever interaction with a digital device that plays games. This had king kong by a water fall who tried to save the girl from falling trees. Around...26-27 years ago(Casio days). 
Most fun, 1999-2003. LAN cafe games like the first Delta Force, first Rainbow Six, AOE2 and expansion, RA2, Generals, and last but not least half-life multiplayer mods or deathmatch.  |
moon patrol, where you jumped over big holes  , bloody hard game
ski or die, nice game, hardrock though your PC speaker...

would be cool to see them finally put the future of war in those games. My only problem is the AI never took it's time to go through the stages. Those games are always a race to get through the technology.

I started with the C64. I still have a 10x6 bookshelf filled with floppies.
I played a lot of games on the C64 but it seems the ones that standout are: Archon, Batman, and Dig-Dug.
Then i got my sega master system which is one of my favorite consoles. I still play emulated SMS games all the time. Golden Axe FTW!

OMG I remember that game!! I was so young when I played it haha..
does anyone remember a really old film motion video game, where you shot at people in a wild west setting. one of the levels there would be a house and people will dodge in and out of it and you have to shoot them with the mouse. Another level had a moving train and you had to do the same thing, I played it on the computer in DOS but I think it might have been a console game... |

Some of my fav were:
Dizzy Collection, Mean Streets, Panza Kickboxing, Indy and the Last Crusade

Chase HQ and Strider.
After the ST i got a Master System and didn't return to pc gaming till the P2 was long out.

Yup alot of nostalgia goin' on in this thread. Well mines not as far reaching as c64 or anything but here goes...
Hmmm...my gaming hardware history in a nutshell... Well I guess first thing I was exposed to was the early consoles-NES mostly. FF2 in particular hooked me in for days at a time. I remember I had crates of Nintendo Power magazines with cheesy mario and zelda cartoons and junk.
As far as computing, I started out on my friend's Tandy(his mom's actually). I remember the thing was ancient gfx-wise but had really good sound for the time. The old sierra adventure games were great(the text-command ones-KQ, LSL, ect) as well as the early flight sims(FS3&4, falcon, f-19 stealth).
After awhile of playing that and on the oldschool apples at school, finally stepped up to my own Packard Bell 386 SX 2/33mhz and 32 megs of ram, I believe. I loved the thing, it was actually pretty decent for its time-smoked my friends pcs. Later on I think I added another 32mb of ram, cache, some other things. Anyways I guess the 3 games that got me hooked were: Civilization, Wing Commander, and of course Wolf3d. After that there was no going back, mwhaha.

When I was in grade school we finally got computers hooked in class and two of us a day different days had the choice to use em or not, well one of the games we had was commander keen and the computer geek of the class hooked it up for us (I didn't know shit back then) and he had all these cheat codes that we'd ask him to put in for us. |

F-117 Lockheed. My first flight simulator although a bit boring at some missions.
And, LSL series! Hah, I was wow at the first when you wrote 'jerk off' and he replied 'not the right time' 
Ah, how could I forget? Wolf3d! Really really tough on hardest. But worthed every second of experience.
P.S: you 386SX specifications are a bit wrong. I had a 386sx too but my ram was 1mb until I added another one within a year. My hard drive was 107 megs! LOL...my ram is 20x times more now.

| Quote: | Adam was not without weaknesses:
* Adam generated a surge of electromagnetic energy on startup, which would erase the contents of any removable media left in or near the drive.[1] Making this problem worse, some of the Coleco manuals instructed the user to put the tape in the drive before turning the computer on; presumably these were printed before the issue was known.[1]
* Initial shipments to customers included a high rate of defective tape drives, some say up to 50%. [citation needed]
* Since Coleco made the unusual decision of using the printer to supply power to the entire Adam system, if the printer malfunctioned, none of the system worked.[1] |
my parents got it real cheap because it was a colossal flop
Oh, and after this I got a 286 that went from 16-->32 mhz when you hit the 'turbo' button, 40 MB harddrive and 0mb of ram, just the built in 640K |
Pfft that's nothing. The Commodore Pet had a Poke command that could cause it to catch fire. If I remember correctly there was an app that turned to motor in the tape deck to switch on and off so quickly that it would also catch fire. |

you can buy lots of ships and customise them with weapons, both primary and secondary, and use money or pickup powerups to increase the power of the weapons, and buy different engines or shields n shit... so much fun... also every ship had a special move to unleash some special attack |

a bit newer age of a game but I got Evil Genius downloading again. That game was so brilliant, it's sad they didn't make a 2nd one, it unfortunatly had a few bugs that made the game annoying after you got so far.

Too many attacks. You couldn't consolidate your position because they were unrelenting in their assault on your base. A good game otherwise.

Plus it was a real Bitch finding the weakness of the superheroes. The first few were easy, but when it got to that chick and the others? Forget about it...they destroyed everything before you'd find it. Plus they'd always escape when you were torturing them, which happened just when all your forces were fighting off new enemies + superheroes.
