Hi all, its so long ago now and i cant remember exactly which was the first game (i was about 6), but i remember when my brother got his A500 on his birthday, god what a machine it was.
If i think really hard i reckon the first few games must have been Firepower, Defender of The Crown and Wizball. Quality ![]() WD |

First game I saw in '86: Defender of the Crown (fantastic gfx)
First game I played: Mindwalker, which came bundled with my A1000 the same year. Interesting game with simple vector gfx but a mystic story. ("They're listening, you know..." I remember) Damn, I'm also sure I posted that already... (well don't mind the redundancy) |

First game that I saw was SWIV. I was impressed mostly by the explosion sounds. Don't know why though.
I had come from C64 and System-80 (TRS-80 clone) before that. I was also impressed by the game's resolution. Cheers Andec |

WorkBench.
![]() Ok, really, it was at a friend's flat (who wasn't into computers at all) and his father had just gotten A500 and I was blown away by WB (I had C64 with GEOS & lightpen myself, so GUI wasn't an unknown concept for me). He only had one game at the time: Surgeon, so that was the first I saw. ![]() But, after that I just had to get A500 myself. It quickly happened I was spending more time with my friend's father than the friend itself. ![]() I believe this happened sometime between '87-89. |

Can you believe I had to make 3 trips back to the store the day I bought it, because I kept finding something faulty or missing. The best bit was the power supply was faulty, so I got my younger brother to run in while I waited in the car, because I was on double yellows and always got a ticket. He took about 30 minutes to go across the road. When he got back I asked why he had taken so long. It turned out he had gone to the wrong store, and even had them fit a plug to the replacement. ![]() |

Probably why you don't remember it then
![]() I got that pack as well and I remember spending the most time with Lemmings. The Simpsons game was okay (and that intro was ace, as you say) and CP was terrible. Also spent a lot of time with Deluxe Paint too ![]() |

I believe the first Amiga game I witnessed was Shadow of the Beast II back in 87/88 when my mate got his new A500. I still had a C64 so the graphics were mindblowing. We also played the other games included in the pack which were the abysmal Days of Chunder, Night Breed, Robocop and R-Type which wasn't too bad. My favourite game was the rather excellent Rick Dangerous. We played this one the most.
![]() I then had to wait three years to get my Amiga! It was Christmas 1993 and the machine was the shiny new A1200. First game I played on the A1200 was Oscar. The scrolling intro screen was really beautiful back in 1993. Still looks quite nice today. ![]() Last edited by Steve; 05 October 2007 at 22:48. |

The first Amiga game I witnessed then got to play was Jimmy White's Snooker.
But being partially colour blind meant that I wasn't very good at it. ![]() On several occasions when I thought I was aiming at a Red ball, I was actually aiming at the Brown ball, lol. ![]() |

I think the first I ever saw was "Defender of the crown". Used to play it with my friend's computer.
Shortly after that, I bought my first Amiga.... and I've been hooked every since ![]() |
