When i first entered the forum i had in my mind 'Oh Mummy' on the Amstrad but looking at the first post i was reminded of Pong, so indeed Pong was the first yet maybe it was the shooting of the white square.....faded memories

Hi All,

All this talk of retrogaming reminds me of MAME32 which emulates old console games. My favourite used to be Xevious. It just isn't the same playing it on a keyboard though.

Does anyone know where ROMS can be downloaded? PSM to avoid copyright infringements.

Oh and I agree the original Civilization leaves all the newer glitzier versions for dead, in terms of gameplay.

My first game was Combat on the Atari 2600 when I was four or five.

The first PC game would have been Zork on a friend's computer.

Ahhh the memories!

Great catch! I always wondered how they made those moving pics.

I couldn't afford a PC so I'd go to a cousin who lived nearby and we'd play Karateka, Bard's Tale, and others on an Apple IIe.

Yeah, I still don't know the origin of this gif... It's a mystery to me, but I will find out one day.
