Mine was Megaman X on the Super Nintendo. Boy was I hooked. :smirk:

I just realized that before I ever played Pokemon Crystal I played Zelda: Ocarina of Time (crazy introduction to gaming).

Super Contra in the cartridge world, and Dangerous Dave on the PC.

Don’t think either was first, but I played them enough to remember them.

By the way, anyone played the original Prince of Persia? It was the first game I played on a desktop computer running Microsoft DOS 6.2

It still is one of the toughest games I ever played. So many puzzling levels. And that side-story with the Shadow was really scary to me at that time lol.

There was something charming about DOS. And WordPerfect, Lotus 1 2 3 and Dbase. Must be nostalgia.

Author George R R Martin writes on a DOS computer with the wordprocessor WordStar in it. Can already hear people groaning ā€œFinish the books, Martin!ā€ whenever I mention GRRM haha.

Not to mention the last PoP PC game:

@Salchichon - oh man! I remember playing Test Drive 3 on the PC.

Time to test Gaming Mastery X ZP or Limitless ZP on this!

Prince of Persia Sands of Time is one of my all time favorite games. The time travel mechanic with the parkour combination was amazing for its time.

Hahaha fair enough

I consider this game that I played as a kid the mother of all the Romance of The Three Kingdoms and Dynasty Warriors games that followed over the next few decades.

This music lives in my memory eternally. Even taught myself to play some of it on the piano when I was a little kid.

We called it ā€˜Karate Champ’ (guess that was the name of the arcade version), and I’m always surprised to see that it was called ā€˜The Way of the Exploding Fist’. Pretty long name for a video game.

and of course, can’t forget this:

I didn’t really get very far in it. Didn’t own it. But I loved the idea of those InfoCom games as much as the actual playing of them.
