How old were you and maybe most importantly was it worth it ?

Elfmania for my Amiga 500
SimCity 2000. I got all my money’s worth out of it as I played it a ton. Came on 2 3.5" floppy disks and the fastest mode, African swallow, ran pretty slowly on my Packard Bell 386 SX. Later I got a Pentium 133 and it ran amazingly fast on that. I still play it from time to time.
Classic game. Near perfection
Altered Beast came free with the Sega Mega Drive I bought as my first console.
You enjoy it ?
Pitfall by Activision for the Atari 2600. I’m old.
Used copy of excitebike with lawn mowing money. I’m not quite as old.
And a cracking game it was, fellow silver surf–oh god, we really are old!
Chopper Command for same!
Doom on CD-ROM. Was the first, still the best.
Flight simulator for the C64 (uncrackable at the time).
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (the sound was just the engine)RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR…
Yeeees, me, too
They didn’t say it was a video game. I’m also pretty old, and I’m sure the first game I bought was either playing cards or some version of Monopoly, or maybe a D&D starter set.
I just gave my DnD blue box set to a friend last week. I bought it in 1979 😄
Ran like a slideshow on my 8086 monochrome.
With my own allowance money instead of asking for it as a gift?
Sim City 3000First game as an adult with a job?
Halo 2Im not alone. Sim City 3000 gang roll put!
I dont remember. It was probably an Atari 2600 game sometime in the 80s.
the first I remember buying with my own money probably The secret of monkey island
Fun fact creator of monkey island has a Mastodon account . He’s quite fun to follow !
I know he even replied to me once or twice :) ❤️
Can’t remember the specific one but probably one of the Dizzy the egg games for the Spectrum.
Orange box, everything before was pirated lol
Such good value
Bought for me: the NES deluxe kit with console, controllers, light gun, and Mario/Duck Hunt.
I first bought Super Mario Bros 3 as in, with my own money.
Sounds like 80s gaming heaven
I think, it was Duke Nukem 3D, or Warcraft 2, and I’m pretty sure it was on a pirated CD of 100 in 1 games, but maybe those were later
Pretty sure it was Quake
Could your computer run it xD mine couldn’t :(
It might have been a used copy of Guild Wars 1.
Great game, I was playing again last week
StarCraft. I tried to make friendly AI by messing around with the editor, to make the AI do what I want at certain times, mimicking an ally.
That’s neat! Never dug into that much just beat bad even by the “ai”
That I bought myself? Dragon Warrior. I bought it from a teenager who lived nearby for 5$ (a couple hundred when adjusting for inflation). He even threw in a cut out of a Nintendo power article on how to beat it.
Was it worth it? Absofuckinglutely!
