FIRST game ever was a Jeff Minter game I "typed in" from one of the masses of C64 magazines available....some of you old guys still remember typing in BASIC programs, or worse, machine code dumps right off paper magazines?
That was..about 1985ish I think.
First game i ever BOUGHT was some datasette Pacman clone named "Pacacuda".
PC gaming came LONG after, after many years of great gaming on the Amiga (anyone remember titles like Eye of the Beholder etc. on Amiga?
) - first PC was some DX-something based CPU PC I somehow built from spares and parts and cramped into an incredibly small PC case a friend had over.
First 3D card was a Nvidia "Riva 128" (yes I entirely skipped Voodoo)..and the Riva was what really got me hooked then because "real" 3D games were just amazing. I think the first 3D game I played was Tomb Raider II...hooked from thereon.
