    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?

    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,884 ✭✭✭✭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


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,737 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,325 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Orim


    First was Total Recall on the Amstrad.

    Latest was the Android Humble Bundle.

  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


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

    Me too on both counts :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,405 ✭✭✭gizmo


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭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)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 8,886 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,800 ✭✭✭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.

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 980 ✭✭✭Hercule


    First: god of thunder : (IBM 286 PC)

    Crystal Castles - Atari 2600
    Black Ops 2 - PC


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭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+ :D ) 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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli
