What was the first and latest game you bought?

Mal-Adjusted

Okay, no explanation needed here.

back in 1998 my family got out first pc (Windows '95) and after loads of pleading, i was finally allowed to get games for it. I promptly went out and got,

Toxic Bunny & Oddballz

A few weeks ago, I bought Alan Wake: Collectors Edition.

So, what about everybody else?

Manach

Manic Miner

Call of Duty 3.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

Deano7788

If presents count Super Mario Bros, if not Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (my god that game could be annoying)

Most recent was Halo 4.

Dave_The_Sheep

First was a double pack of Wing Commander and Chuck Yeager's Air Combat.

Last was Borderlands 2.

Retr0gamer

First game I bought with my own money was probably Creatures on the C64.

Last game I bought was eh.. Zenith on the philips CDi.

Penn

I think the first game I ever bought (as opposed to those which I got with the consoles or as presents) was actually probably Grand Theft Auto 1. I'd played it in my cousin's house so when I got a Playstation 1 (got Crash Bandicoot with it), I'd saved up to get GTA1 as well.

Latest game I bought was Assassin's Creed 3.

And actually, as much as I do like Assassin's Creed 3, GTA1 was better

CastorTroy

First game bought myself, I couldn't tell you. But first in the house would've been the 6 that came with the Spectrum 128K: Crazy Golf, Punchy, Disco Dan, Treasure Isalnd and 2 others...google says Alien Destroyer and Oh Mummy(How could I forget Oh Mummy)

Latest physical copy was Vanquish, I think and more recently got the Prototype collection digitally

degrassinoel

First, was Turrican on cassette for the C-64
latest, XCOM:EU for the pc

Dozen Wicked Words

After years of sponging off older brothers or waiting for Christmas/Birthday, the first game I actually bought for myself was a job lot of Spectrum games that came with my Speccy 128k + I got second hand. Head Over Heels and Football Manager were amongst those, so not bad.

Latest I bought was Ratchet and Clank, All 4 one. Not a patch on most of the others in the series imo but my young lad likes playing it with me so that's a positive.

Orim

First was Total Recall on the Amstrad.

Latest was the Android Humble Bundle.

maximoose

First game I bought for myself out of my own money was Croc 2 for PS1. KERSPLASH!

Latest was Halo 4 last week.

wes

First game that I bought was Mario 3 for the NES, and latest was Halo 4.

krudler

Me too on both counts

gizmo

First I bought with my own money? Super Mario Kart.
Last one? Hotline Miami.

chrislad

I think the first, with my own cash, was either Time Lord on the NES or Faxanadu on the NES also. I also remember getting Wario Land on the Game Boy.

Latest, wow, not much really. It was the latest Humble Bundle. I've been back in college the last few months so haven't had time to play anything. I made a long list of things I've missed that I will get to but it's fairly sizable at the moment. Chances are the next one will be Assassins Creed 3.

penev10

Y's The Vanished Omens on the Sega Master System

Y's 7 for the Vita!!

I kid you not! Ok well I got the Master System second hand with a few games, Y's being one of them (Altered Beast, Shinobi and Hang On were the others)

mewso

Then: Starquake for the ZX Spectrum
Now: Football Manager 2013 for PC

Lingua Franca

Then: Cassette games for my Spectrum 48k, I think arcade style games.

Now: Gods and Kings expansion pack for Civilization V. It counts, because now Civ V feels like a fully fleshed out game.

Zomg Okay

I don't remember the first game I got, I was about 5. :pac: It might have been a Rugrats game, on my dad's PS1. Not really sure.

The last one was Bayonetta, which I picked up second-hand for a fiver. :cool:

Virgin Megastore was a top teenage haunt of mine too. You needed to shop around in Dublin in those days as not all shops had the same games. I couldn't find Golden Axe for the Megadrive anywhere in Dublin at the time and after checking the usual spots I found in Roches of all places! It was back then that I began getting mail order games from England as you couldn't rely on the Irish shops to have them in.

Hercule

First: god of thunder : (IBM 286 PC)
Last: Hotline Miami AND LOVING IT

ionapaul

First: BMX Simulator on floppy disk for the Commodore 64 (stupid floppy disk peripheral!)
Last: Trine 2: Goblin Menace expansion a few days ago

Mr. K

The first game I bought myself was Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 on the Game Boy. I played it to death.

My most recent purchase was Assassin's Creed 3.

Sephiroth_dude

Age of empires

Euro truck simulator 2

SeantheMan

Crystal Castles - Atari 2600
Black Ops 2 - PC

Gunmonkey

First....hrm, could have been a game for the original Atari but dunno if we ever got any extra games other than what we got with it. But do remember going with my mother to buy our Amstrad (CPC 464+ ) and had to choose 2 games so got a Sports compilation and an Adventure compilation that had Dizzy on it, the rest of them elude me. So Dizzy on the Amstrad.

Latest is probably Asura's Wrath on the 360.

pablomakaveli

First game i got with my own money i think may have been Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland for the Nes which was the first game i ever finished. Last one i bought was Football Manager 2013.

CRM Ireland

Daley Thomsons Decathlon (ZX Spectrum+ 48K) which resulted in numerous Kempston joysticks being returned under warranty to Dixons.

Fifa 13 PC

Lone Stone

no idea what the first game i had was, i know it was on the commador 64, last game i got was Ac3

karl_m

Then: Pokemon crystal
Now: FF13-2

Professey Chin

That I bought myself was Super Mario Land 2

Last was AC3

Mr.Saturn

I got Mortal Kombat 1 & 2 on the Game Boy, that was my first, and probably the last time I took a box's synopsis as anything to go by. I was 7-8ish, so how it was sold to me I dunno. It's like MK was the deepest game back then, so you can imagine what happens when they compromise it for the 8-bit portables. I think it was my first, anywho.

Last game I invested in was Puyo Pop on the GBA, as it came highly recommend, and I had a voucher to burn.

johnny_ultimate

A little hazy, but I believe my first game was Sonic 2 for the GameGear. I think I probably got past the first level around three times, because of a bouncing ball at the first boss that almost inevitably kills you every time, especially when you're seven or eight years old.

Latest was Under Defeat HD.

Dacelonid

If we are talking windows machines, got my first PC in '95 and bought Command & Conquer. Knew nothing about it, just liked the box, a case of judging a book by its cover not being a bad thing, last game bought was Legend of Grimrock

Going back further though and the very first game I ever got was Beachhead on the C64.

TerrorFirmer

Not the first game I ever got, but the first I remember is Doom.

Latest, Black Ops 2. Quite often, actually, whilst in the midst of playing current gen games, I'll stop for a brief moment to reflect on the games of today versus those of the day, and imagine how people would react had they not been present for the interim.

Gbear

First I bought myself was Starcraft: Brood War (my brother had bought the original).

Latest? Diablo 3.

ShadowHearth

first game i am pretty sure was this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoESzEwhHmI

I knew that fecking game inside out. I LOVED IT!


Last game was borderlands 2.

Harps

Sponged off my cousin who had various Nintendo and Atari consoles through the 90's so I managed without a console until 98 or so, think the first game I bought myself was Top Gear Rally on the N64

Most recent, both Vanquish and Bayonetta

kowloon

I think the first game I actually bought was Prince of Persia. I think.
Last game I bought was an expansion pack for Hearts of Iron 3.

deathrider

I really can't remember the first game I bought myself, because the first ones I owned where xmas/birthday presents and the likes. Tetris and Fortress Of Fear on Gameboy would have been my first. Oddly enough, the latest edition to my collection is an old Megadrive game I picked up last week- Tiny Toons: Buster's Hidden Treasure.

First: Battlezone for the Atari 2600

Battlezone's better :pac:
