Old School Games

02-21-13, 08:26 AM

So I just was playing old school (For me anyways) Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World, and Super Mario Allstars on the SNES and I just couldn't help but have nostalgia. Man were these great games, well crafted and challenging. I just wanted to show my appreciation for these ones

Hoping some of you all remember these titles, I actually have alot of the Super Mario World songs stuck in my head right now, I actually can hum the title screen song to this day completely without even having to look it up.

My first electronic game was Munchman - a Pac-Man rip-off. I used to spend hours on it, my trawlerman neighbour used to borrow it and attained the high score for several years, but I beat him in the end.

My first electronic game was this ( Kevin Keegans Match of The Day Soccer):

And my first ever computer game was called Ant Attack on the Spectrum :

closely followed by Elite, also on the Spectrum:

Herr-Berbunch, I remember Munchman now, oh my goodness!

My first was the original pong, and my first computer game was Parsec for the Texas Instruments TI-99.

Man, I remember playing this extensively with a friend who had this, I think it was pretty expensive back then.
I had a comparible solo game by Tandy. Same concept - the ball was the bright red light

. Changing the sport (hockey, football, basketball) was done by switching the plastic insert.

First game ever would be Space Invaders (on a little hand held console in which the Aliens were just little dots moving about

), first Arcade game I really got into, Defender and first home computer game was Elite (on the Speccy) and yes I also used a Lenslok. Horrid things they were.

We had a pong type game (not Pong itself) when I was very little, it had modes like hockey and tennis, but was still basically pong. We also had a breakout console that was again about a dozen variants of the same theme.

First computer games were on a VIC 20, but were mostly cartridge based then I moved to the C64 and things got real with games like Bard's Tale and Ultima. Even ran a BBS in Houston for a while that was sort of gaming and fantasy oriented.

The first arcade game I got really in to was Missile Command and I tore Defender up when it rolled around, but mainly if I was going to spend quarters it was air hockey and foosball, even wound up working in an arcade for a while in my late teens.
