First real (non-Game Maker) game was Descent... and God... that lifter bot was damn scary.

[redsniper]

Chip's Challenge! How could I have forgotten that game! *slaps his head*

I really should play that again... is it installed on XP machines?

It doesn't come with Windows anymore, but I think you can download it for free now.

[General Battuta]

Missile Command on the Atari.

I still have flashbacks. 

[Fergus]

Very first game?  Fury 3, a rip off of (or perhaps they were ripped off by) Terminal Velocity.

[General Battuta]

Fury 3 was the ripoff, Terminal Velocity was the original.  And then there was Hellbender.  Which was great fun, methinks. 

[NGTM-1R]

Fury 3 had much better music.

[maxxus]

Fury 3 had much better music.

Man...the music from that game is so good, I *still* listen to it.  I loved Fury3 so much..

[NGTM-1R]

You have a full set? I only have five or so of the tracks.

[Polpolion]

Crystal quest

[BS403]

Descent: Freespace

[Nuke]

Crystal quest

i used to play that at high school. i wonder if theres a windows port or at least a clone.

[Mr. Vega]

Descent: Freespace 

Wow...you never started playing games until then?  not to be rude, but how old are you again?

Well, first game I played on the PC that wasn't dos crap, for any length of time (although I did touch Civ I and Sim Earth a few times) was Freespace anyways. Certainly it was the game that started my whole interest in computers and ze intarnet.

And you can see my age in my profile

Ngt, I do, or at least the songs that are in redbood audio on the game cd *nods*  If you have the game just stick it in a cd player and play tracks 2 and on.  Track 1 is the data track and will make a terrible terrible sound

Another game (series really) that had an amazing soundtrack were the three Mechwarrior 2 titles, which also have redbook audio on the game discs   Quake 1/2 and some of the expansions' songs were pretty decent with redbook as well. 

[General Battuta]

I've got the Mechwarrior 2/Mercenaries/GBL soundtracks and places you can find them online, if anyone's interested. 

[maxxus]

Man, I wish the old Mech2 team could get the FASA license back and make a GOOD new Mechwarrior game... I liked Mechwarrior 3 but thought 4 was pretty ****ty

[Nuke]

the first game i played on a computer that was actually mine had to be descent 2.

[Scooby_Doo]

I've got the Mechwarrior 2/Mercenaries/GBL soundtracks and places you can find them online, if anyone's interested. 

I only played MechWarrior 1, thats original and "new" Matrox Mystique version with actual textures 

[NGTM-1R]

I don't. <,< >,>

My copies are MP3, from the glory days of Napster.

[Scuddie]

dos crap

How dare you.

By the way, my first game ever played was "Midnight Rescue!".  I oddly enough remember that game better than any other for the time I played on my o' Emerson 386SX.  Probably because me being 5 years old, was the most awesome thing I've experienced before then.
