Age of Empires II. A friend of mine had that game, and I'd barely ever played any games before (maybe a couple genesis games over a cousin's house), then I was floored by AoE2. I eventually (after we got dial-up), downloaded the demo, on the same night that we went to see fellowship of the ring in the theatre.

I eventually bought the game, and have been a gamer since

lol TaKeSeN my first video was Ducktales for the old Gameboy from 1989 as well with scrooge jumping around, i remember that so clearly everytime my family drove from Denmark to my German family, and i would play super mario 2 ofc i got so many gameboy games from my grandma in Germany

. My first PC games playing was to windows 3.11 back when i was 4-5 years old i think, i played Oswald with my big bro and a whole lot of other winter games i can't remember, ofc commander keen. I used to play super mario on my friends NES. Didn't have one myself

Then my big bro got a PS1 in 1997 i think and we played racing games and Crush bandicoot, damn those were times. and wipe out!

Oregon Trail, which I actually played first in school.

As for a game to play that I actually got on my home computer, Prince of Persia.

I believe mine was some pinball game that came on my family's first home computer that my dad bought. I also remember having a CD with tons of demos for games on Windows 98. Played that for hours and hours.

The original Civilization with my dad. He used to sit me on his lap and tell me where to direct his troops. Oh, good times.

The Lost Vikings (Made by blizzard (then i think called north by northwest or sth like that) and interplay)

One of the most genius games for its time. Hail Blizzard.

First game I ever played was Mixed-Up Mother Goose, a nursery rhyme based game where you had to do quests based on the rhymes (Like you had to fetch the king his fiddlers three and such). I was three at the time, so I've been a gamer for like, forever

[image loading]

Twinsen's Odyssey - Little Big Adventure (1994) & Little Big Adventure 2 (1997)

Second opus was better eventhough I enjoyed both more than any games until... today.

The first game I really enjoyed and still would like to play today is Richard & Alan's Escape from Hell (http://members.chello.at/theodor.lauppert/games/escape.htm). It was an awesome game with really good research about all the historical characters involved. If a remake was made with up-to-date graphics, I would buy it.

You can download it here: http://www.classic-pc-games.com/pc/role_playing/escape_from_hell.html

Although this thread is 22 pages deep and probably many more to come with no one reading the replies, I'll reply anyways.

These games were before windows. DOS based games.
Archery, Bouncing Babies, some other crap games I can't remember.
