Wow, it's not often I see a forum where most people have been gaming longer than I
.
I started with a Commodore 64 aged 4 in 1989, then got a megadrive, snes, PS1, N64, Gameboy Color, Dreamcast, Ps2, Xbox, Gamecube, Wii, DS, PSP, Xbox 360 then PS3.
The first game I had was Army Days, a lightgun game for the C64. I went on to enjoy Cosmic Causeway, Rodlands, CJ's Elephant antics and got TERRIFIED by aliens.
Sonic was the game that got me to realise that gaming was something I adored, and when I got my Snes, it was Legend of Zelda, a Link to the Past that cemented my love for adventure games, which carries on to this day, with Ocarina of Time being the best game I have ever played.
Final Fantasy 7 introduced me to 'epic' storytelling in games, but no world has ever felt so alive to me as Hyrule.0 -
Not a long list, but it has kept me entertained...

Laser squad ~ the first game of that kind was REBELSTAR RAIDERS yes?
Man, I played that game to DEATH on my spectrum. That was my first true strategy game and it blew me away
Yeah, Rebelstar was the first one - then there was a later one called Lords of Chaos that was almost great
with level-to-level progression and a quite interactive map, but just too many glitches to be really great. Laser Squad (with the various extra maps) was the one that I was totally hooked on0 -
Ive just thought of a game I MUST mention
UFO ENEMY UNKNOWN out on Amiga (Maybe the atari too)
The best strategy game Ive ever played, truly awesome:idea:0 -
I loved Lords of Chaos. Just the whole game had all I wanted them, colour lol , magic, treasure and monters. It was great cause you could set fire to stuff and it would spread and kill off the bad guys
I actually completed UFO, The shock, never completed it again.Survey earnings total 2009 £417, 2010 £875, 2011 £5740
