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.

Chocks away has yet to beat as the best flying game, in my opinion.
One of the develoers of Smugglers Run: warzones says Chocks Away is still his favourite game. Chocks away was released in about 88,89 too!

Stunt Racer 2000 and Starfighter 3000 rocked too.

My first was a batch of around 30 games for the Sega Master System when I was 5.

My Mum and Dad bought it off of my cousin as he wanted a Mega Drive, I got it for my birthday.

Ummmm some I can remember: Rastan, Wonder Boy 3, Mickey Mouse Castle of Illusion, Double Dragon, Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Sonic, Ghostbusters, Tom & Jerry, Operation Wolf, Outrun Battle...loads more.

All decent. Back then even stuff like Mickey Mouse was good.

Donkey Kong arrived first, many years before the NES's launch!

Early 80's for Donkey Kong - Late 80's for NES :)

The first game I ever played was probably Lemmings on an old BBC, I think.

The first Nintendo game that I played was probably one of the Mario games on the GB, although the first I remember is Super Mario 3, on JBHs NES.

My first game from SR would probably have been Perfect Dark (There was most likely something else, but I remember PD because it came a day early and I was so chuffed)

The first game I won was Super Mario Sunshine, for my Pork Pie Hat story in Life.


I have a sudden urge to go and play the first level of PD again, to relive those first moments I spent with the fantastic game.

The first game I got was Tetris, which I got with the Game Boy back in about 1992 or something. Ah, happy days.

First game I bought from SR was... err, I don't think I've bought any games from SR. Certainly bought a number of DVDs from SR, just not games. For some reason.

The first ever game I got was Donkey Kong Country 2 for the SNES, one of my all time favourites even my dad played it, he would stay up all night playing it. I forgot what the first SR game I got was.
