Werewolf Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 USS Dewey, DDG45, 1978: Star Trek in CIC on the OS's radar consoles run by the ship's computers. We could have 10 or 12 guys all playing at the same time, free for all or team play.That was some of - if not the most fun I ever had playing multiplayer. One of the DS's programmed one of our Fire Control computers to play Chess. Simple algorithm where the program remembered positions and whether or not that position and the move made led to victory or defeat. We started playing against the computer when we left Charleston, SC for the Med. Anyone could beat the thing. Six months later when we returned to Charleston no one on the ship could beat that computer.Good times... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidelthefallguy Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Although I remember Pong and having an Atari In the house, I think the first game I ever played and owned was this... Arcadia for the ZX-Spectrum 48k ... the bad thing is I still have it. Although I can no longer play it as I do not have a screen that will work with the spectrum any longer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanPatrick Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 1st I ever played? Yeah, Pong. 1st I ever owned? I think it was "Tiger Heli" for the NES. (If you don't count Super Mario 1 which I co-owned with my sister.) 9RpKgfqRHrU I also had this device called a " " which let you chea..er um "enhance" a lot of games. So one day I made my Tiger Heli invincible and left it running while I went out to play. (Yes, it was not so long ago that children went outside occasionally. ) I came back that evening to find the game still scrolling away. I don't think there was an end to it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Thunder Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 My first game was a text-based "Star Trek", 1978, on a TRS-80 Model I, battling against the Klingon and Romulan Empire. Then later "Star Wars" that had ASCII graphics. [-0-] <-0-> (Tie fighters) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonywjones44 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Silent service. on the Nintendo NS.That was it for me. Hooked for the rest of my life.I even owned an Atari 32.i must have been the only person to buy one.The bloody think just kept crashing.i gave it away in the end.Same for me. IIRC I upgraded my Atari 32 to a 64. But I could be mistaken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanPatrick Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Metal Gear does have its oddities, but I must say it has been one of the most innovative and well scripted series to date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonywjones44 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Anyone remember the precursor to video games - text based games?Such as: Computer - 'You are in room'. Me - turn left. Computer - a wall. Me - turn right. Computer - You see a door. Me - open door. Computer - door open. Me - go through door. Computer - you have fallen down a well. You should have looked first. Wildly exciting at the time. But you had to be there... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyguy Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Ahhh, the memories! Like Rump, my first videogame experience was Atari Pong, in a bar in Victorville, CA when I was TDY doing some training at George AFB.Text adventures - loved them and still do. I still play some of the old Infocom games, some of which I have never solved because I despise taking hints. And of course, the original Adventure on, at the time, a DEC minicomputer. "You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike."Then, when the Internet came along, I was working at a College in the IT department and we'd spend hours at night playing NetTrek and MUD. Good times! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
