RE: #theydontcallmenathen initiative......What was the first 'computer' game you ever bought?

in OCD5 years ago

lol nice :)

You must be about my age, maybe a year or two older. I played another version of this one quite early on call Arkanoid on the Spectrum.

Snazzy colours and opening music I think you will agree!

Jet Set Willy was one of the first games I remember, annoying as f it was too!

It would take me all day to come up with a top 10, and I still would probably not be happy with it. Good times!

Sort:  

Sadly, as I'm a week off my 54th birthday, I'd suggest I have 10 years plus on you! Jet Set Willy was THE Spectrum game which also appeared on the 64 later but it wasn't my cup of tea. Manic Miner wasmy game of choice around that time I think.
The thing about Speccy games was that they were always a lot more Psychedelic than our 64 ones!!

Blimey, were there no games on the green screen Amstrad's then? :)

Jet Set was very frustrating and I never completed it. Almost mentioned Manic Miner but there are so many. Loved the Dizzy games, but really got into playing when we upgraded to an Amiga. Some super addictive stuff on my fave games machine.
