Yeah so I had been humming the tune to myself for years so I thought I should look it up on YT. The MS-DOS version was far far more basic. Never had an Amiga so didn’t know they redid it. It’s SOO much better on the Amiga but I do still love the old one too.
Worms Armageddon! I vaguely remember being disappointed by the absence of some features I liked from Worms 2, but can’t remember exactly anymore. I think I still have the CD somewhere.
Majora’s Mask. I preordered it and saved up allowance for months. It came to like $100 CAD with tax. Played the shit out of it and finished it in 2 weeks. The game was good, but I was quite disappointed because LttP and Ocarina both took me at least a month each. MM only has like 4 dungeons. Ended up trading it to a friend for Smash Bros.
I know we had games. I think we borrowed an Atari for a while. I definitely remember the Superman Atari game.
But the first one I remember buying was when we got an NES. I think my dad went all out and got Super Mario Bros 3 and Megaman 2 all at once. What a day.

Baldur’s Gate 2. The manual was so good, and the map. You’d pay $200 for some kind of special edition for that quality these days. Totally worth it.
Don’t make me them like they use to
Xenon 2 Megablast for the Atari ST, with my saved-up pre-teen pocket money. Was it worth it? Fuck yes.
Excellent game. Had it on my 386. Still love the music. I was terrible at it.
Yeah, I still hum that Bomb the Bass track at random times.
The Bitmaps just made hit after hit, and Xenon 2 was the first I got to play.

Lost most of pc games from the early 90s to careless scratches :(

X-wing.
TIE Fighter or Dark Forces
Not tie fighter, just the original x-wing on a 486.
Sorry. I meant those were mine that I got first.
GUNSHIP on tandy.
then a few years later the first game I pirated was LHX.
I think it was Monkey Island 2.
Oddworld : Munch’s Oddysee. It’s been 25 years, would love to replay it
Halo. Worked a paper rout to buy an OG Xbox and Halo all by myself.
Wasn’t my first buy but I did the same with chores and saving up money !

We definitely had a Sega Master System too. I do not remember buying that at all
Please keep them coming and please please tell your stories. It’s the best part of gaming really
Blackjack on the RCA Studio II.
Crash bandicoot 3.
Considering how uninformed I was back then, it was a hell of a success.
A cassette tape for my MSX with 2 games by Konami: Hyper Rally and Antarctic Adventure. That was in 1988.
I’ve been gaming ever since.
With my own money: Link to the Past. Most definitely.
