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.

My first game from Special Reserve was a Lemmings and Oh no more Lemmings boxset for the Atari St.

They sent me 2 copies for some reason.

first ever game I bought was Catacombs for the ZX81 for £2.99 - I'm well old you know, that must have been back in 1981 or 2. Bought it from Boots who used to have the latest games in those days - before Game and SR were even conceived.

SR: Konami Krazy Racers
Nintendo: Duck & Mario Bros
Ever: Little handheld dinosaur game, which was surprisingly difficult, bosses were great.

I also had Mario All Stars World :-D The difference is I had a SNES/Mario All Star World bundle pack, which ruled. Why in gods name did a sell my SNES and over 15 really rare games (Including ActRaiser) for £60? :'-(

First Nintendo Game: Super Mario Bros (NES games had cool inside cases made out of some weird plastic).

First Game Ever: Something on the C64, where you went around as a hovercraft or something and picked up hostages, however, seeing as I was only 2-3 years old at the time I was killed on the first level (Even my 10 year old brother at the time had problems on it).

However, I cannot remember the name. Perhaps someone hear had it?
