Title: Do you remember this game?
Post by: Leshma on May 18, 2013, 05:18:09 pm
It's the first video game I've ever played. I'm not sure was it Atari or some copy of it, but it had just one game in memory. It was a shooter with very basic graphics. Black and white, and you're the white stick shooting on other white sticks and shapes. Game is scrolling from left to right and it isn't Space Invaders, Asteroids etc. I was 3.5 years old, don't remember any other detail I'm afraid. I wasn't the one playing it, it was my older brother.

Feel free to post games you've played in your childhood but can't remember their names.

The first actual game?... That's a tough one...

I can't remember if it was a gameboy colour or a playstation 1 game.

If it's the gameboy it was pokemon yellow. Never really liked it sadly.
If it was the playstation it was final fantasy IX, man does that bring up some nostalgia. I was born too late to know what game you were talking about, sorry.

You guys kinda missed point of this thread but it's fine, it isn't like we're doing anything serious here.

Oh, well, there was this game where you are racing on a bike. The cool thing about it was that you could punch other riders. Never could recall the name.

Road rash was a quality game. Played a lot of Tekken and Ace Combat as well.  No idea which was the first one I would have played though.

I also remember the first Prince of Persia with some colours but still shitty graphics xD it was lots of fun.

Pong is not a side scrolling shooter.

Actually, it is a side scrolling shooter, everything moves to the right, but there is no background, so it's hard to tell.

Will you suggest Bubble Bobble next?
Title: Re: Do you remember this game?
Post by: Molly on May 19, 2013, 07:09:23 pm
My first game was probably something on the commodore plus4... There is no way I can recall which one it was...

Yes, I am that old  :oops:

Post by: Patoson on May 19, 2013, 07:41:47 pm
Oh, now I've got it! It's Bubble Bobble (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_Bobble)!!!

Nah, seriously, I don't remember the game Leshma describes. The first game I played with my first decent computer with a Voodoo FX was Tomb Raider 2, and it was a nice game, but the game that made an impact on me the most was Outcast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outcast_%28video_game%29). Blade Runner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_Runner_%281997_video_game%29) the adventure game was also very good.


I've just realised I didn't really pay attention to the OP. Sorry for the stupid posts!

This just makes it obvious that Leshma's post was too long and no one read it.

I guess that simply nobody cares...

Anyway, since no one here seems to know you can always browse allgame.com.

Here's their list of side-scrolling shooters: http://www.allgame.com/style.php?id=465&tab=games&page=1&sort=title_ASC

Good luck!

Thanks Khorin. It's probably some version of Defender, with simplified graphics (arcade version has fancy graphics compared to the game I've played).

My first game was majesty for PC!
Still one of the best games that there is.

I remember I once played this game with primitive 3d graphics and wonky animations but it was pretty cool. It was sort of a medieval era game where you could like pick your attack and block directions and fight against other players.


I can't remember the name of the game though because it ultimately kinda sucked.

I can't remember my first game. It was either wario land( something like that) on game boy or super Mario on NES.
