I was just remmenicing of my first visit to SR and could not remmeber what game it was I bought. Then it came to me - Sam & Max hit the road! My dad bought it under his name then, but since then I have got my own card...Ahh, the memories.

My very, very first game though was Monkey Island one. I still remmember having to allign the little faces on a spinning wheel to get the password to enter the game each time.

My first Nintendo game though...I belive that was Super Mario Allstars (The version which included Super Mario World). Ahhh, that was a good game.

What where your first SR, Nintendo, and overall games? Be interesting to see if anyone else ever played the old Lucas Arts point and clicks like I did.

First game I ever played was when I was about two years old, it was Mario Cement (a Game & Watch game). It all grew up from there, when I was three my dad brought me a NES and Duck Hunt. Then began my fondness of guns (as you might have seen).

Yes. It all started to go wrong when I shot the dog.

The first game I got from SR was Waverace 64 back in 1997. I'd known about the company for a long time having seen their adverts in various game mags (I even have one of their old adverts from when they sold NES stuff). I knew there was a club shop in Chelmsford, but not the exact location, so after a little exploration, I found it and have been a member in some way shape or form ever since.

My first Nintendo game on a Nintendo machine was Super Mario Bros 2 on the NES, though I still have a Donkey Kong Game & Watch stored away, but I'm not sure which came first. The version of Mario 2 was actually my brothers. He got it for his birthday at the end of November, but we didn't get the NES until Christmas, so we had about three weeks of waiting for Mario 2 and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (as it was then known).

My first overall game is something I can't really remember. My dad had thousands of Spectrum games that I also enjoyed playing, plus we had an Atari 2600, and I suppose I must have bought a few, so it was probably one of the many games from those machines. I do have recollections of buying Transformers for the Spectrum in a crummy old record shop.
