My first contact with videogames was when I got a Gameboy to my birthday (don't know how old I was, but I played videogames already before I were capable of reading (though some games were english anyways).
My first game was Tetris and some crappy racing game.

Then I got the very first Super Mario.


Later then I got my first console, a Nintendo 64, which I still have today (yesterday I finally made it to collect all 120 stars in Super Mario 64, so it took me more than 11 years).

I also loved the Pokémon-games, but today I don't like the politic of Nintendo with the games, it's sad - also with all the cheaters.

My first game on a computer was a pinball-game by Codemasters, but damn, it was probably the best pinball I ever played. Those from today are all crap.
Another good one was RC Racers Deluxe, a game with small cars, that drive over an oversized track with traps, why the camera is fixed in birdperspective and with power-ups.

I then get to know the C&C-series. Red Alert was my first game from them and I played it a lot, though I never finished the campaign (damn, I was 7 or 8 years old).

A revolutionary game on N64 was also Donkey Kong 64, because it was just so enourmous big and had a really good gameplay with riddles everywhere. From this game I also got my nick, King Krusha K. Rool.


We were sharing a flat with a friend of us at that time and this way I already watched Far Cry, Unreal 2 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein at the age of 11 and even played some passages. (I watched RtCW all the time, but when the friend couldn't finish the final boss, then I tried once and did it).
Those games are still scary to me today, so it's a wonder that I never got nightmares from them with all that mutants, aliens, nazi-supersoldiers.

Not only you Me for example too. I think these games are well-known to the most part of old-school PC-gamers))

Well, first game was "Captain Comic" - EGA-graphics arcade platformer, it was in 1987 I didnt even know what "computer" and electronic games are. In our country there weren't game consoles or gamemachines etc at that time. But when i saw PC-Game and tried it... It was shock for little boy
Similar emotions i got few years later when i saw 1st FPS Wolfenstein 3D. First person view and 3D - it was shock too!

Other games i'v played at that time were almost the same that already mentioned here:
Stunts (OMG what a GAME!!! Dynamic, so many stunts and 1st game with custom tracks editor and cinematic replays)
Dune2
Dangerous Dave
Goody http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anyxUJ2OecY
TestDrive 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw_dUoakQmY
Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXGdhDnPoUM
F15
F117
Prehistorik
Raptor
Commander Keen

Later was Doom, Quake, F22 Retailator, Worms, Duke Nukem 3d (I built maps for it btw etc etc etc all what i got!
I wasnt fastidious than and it was so few games and so much freetime and now - vice versa

Interesting thread, lots of common ground with what I've read here - I promise I'll tell ya about my gaming resume soon enough!

For now, though, I'd propose changing the topic's title (if possible) to something a bit more descriptive of its content, like "[Tell us about]Your gaming career!", just so ppl get the right idea from the start about the discussion. Yes? No?

I don't think that it is possible in this board to change the thread-title afterwards.
