Best game ever for the Commodore 16:



Check out those freakin' leet grafffix!!

It's the only game other members of my family ever played. My elder sister loved it.

Heh, I don't think your image linked correctly there

It was pong for me. The console I played with is shown in the top right corner. It came with a gun accessory you could break down into three different lengths from a rifle to an uzi.

I had to curb my enthusiasm when using the gun tho

Wow to think I remember all those games that have been mentioned. (shows my age now.)

Well with me my first games were:
Arcade: Zaxxon
Sinclair ZX: Ping Pong
Atari 2600: International Tennis
Commodore 64: Pirates and Elite (played them so much I wore out the original discs. But still have them and the copies + 3 working machines complete) next fav was Paranoid.
First actual PC on Windows a monster HP 286: Spider
My first PII: Enemy Nations and Dark Reign
And of late with my new big monster AMD Dual it has been Tiger Woods and of course UT2004.

Well with time on my hands I think I played most games that were out there but still love Pirates and Elite of all. Those two you just kept going with no actual end. A bit like Eve from what I have been told.

Have a good one guys and gals.

Crusader, was that console (the tan coloured one) a Hanimex unit, if so I also was lucky enough to have it.

Had 4 games, Soccer, Tennis, Squash and something else.

And if you positioned the game dial between certain games, you were able to get a soccer game with 3 paddles instead of 2 (My first hack???)

Please also note the sophisticated scoring system on the left hand side (2 levers that you manually pushed up when you won a game!!!)

HaniMex Vintage Pong Game- Jack Berg Sales

You can still buy them!!!! It was hockey not Soccer and there was a practise mode, the ability to have large and small bats as well as fast/slow moving balls.

Wow that takes me back!!!

[Rox]

Yup, it was Pong for me too...

I don't remember what my first computer game was...but it was (in all odds) something I typed into the computer (C=64) from a BASIC printout found in a magazine...

I remember we had a tape drive on that machine, no hard drive (I don't think they had them back then...)

[Lazer]

Yea tabe drive on the Vic 20.. Some cartridge night drive game.
Was sorta 3D cockpit view with reflectors on the side of the road.
So bonnet outline and reflectors.. everything else was black lol
Someone else's pong was my first game.
Space Invaders, Asteroids, Lunar Lander, PacMan, Defender were my fav arcade games at the time.
