    But the first proper game I bought myself was International Karate on Spectrum 48k for about £8 or £9 and was the precursor to IK+, it was terrible as you just needed to learn one move to win the game

    the latest game I bought was the Prototype Collection

    First game a bought myself was Mario64, bundled with the Nintendo 64 that I bought with my communion money, it was pretty much the only game I had for it, great machine though, wish I still had it.

    Most recent: portal 2 and L.A Noire, finished both already but traded them in and decided to buy them back. Latest new game was sleeping dogs, hoping to pick up hitman next week though.

    It has been mentioned a couple of times already, Turrican for the C64 was the first game I bought.

    The latest game I bought was Assassin's Creed III for the PS3.

    Both are excellent.

    Loved this game. One of the first video games I ever played, probably back in 83.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,974 ✭✭✭Chris_Heilong


    ants(ZX spectrum)..............Halo 4


  • Registered Users Posts: 271 ✭✭Wobbuffet


    My first game was Sonic 1 on the Master System but I won both the game and console in a competition so the first game I bought was Olympic Gold on the Master System.

    My most recent purchase was Quantum Conundrum on XBLA.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    First console I had was an old Atari 2600. A local shop used to stock the games for it and back in the late 80's early 90's I think they were about a fiver each!
    Hard to say what it was. Possibly Kung Fu Master.

    Latest would have been Dead Rising 2 in the Steam sale.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,943 ✭✭✭Burning Eclipse


    First I bought with my own money was this:

    First was the original Colin McRae rally and the last was the new WRC 3 . Somethings never change eh?


  • Registered Users Posts: 866 ✭✭✭LuckyFinigan


    I think the first game I actually bought myself was Sonic 2 for the mega drive, the most recent was Assassin's creed 3.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 445 ✭✭LostCorkGuy

    First I bought myself was Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade on PC (IBM PS/1 80386).

    Last Crusade is a better game.

    first with my own money was "super mario all stars" (having played all the others that my brothers bought).

    last was a "mark of the ninja"


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,839 ✭✭✭balkieb2002


    Finally remembered the first game I bought: Ikari Warriors for Atari 2600 (damn hard game!)

    Last game was Sleeping Dogs


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭tonydude


    First for me was Total annihilation on pc all those years ago, loved the game and the idea of downloading different unit types was brill.

    Lastest purchase will get no where near the playtime like the above game, got Resident evil operation racoon city


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    The first game that I purchased was MDK 2 although the Prince of Persia would have been the PC version of The Prince of Persia. I have fond memories of both, also button mashing was never really an option with the Prince of Persia. :D The latest purchase would have been Hitman Absolution which i'm enjoying immensely although very different to its predecessors.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,315 ✭✭✭Big Knox


    First game I bought for myself out of my own monies was I think, Sensible world of soccer for the Amiga!

    I've just pre-ordered Persona 4 golden.

    God I got Terminator 2 with my Commodore 64 but I don't know if that counts.

    So many games were free with the C64 (ZAPP etc) mags back then so I bought very few. I do remember buying Street Fighter 2 for the C64 though (pile of crap but I'd no snes....).

    Latest would be probably still be ME3 (got a backlog).
