What was the first game you played that made you get into gaming?
Mine was the original Star Wars arcade game
{Ed001's Note - it was a game for the Speccy 48k. I got it as a Christmas prezzie with a bundle of games, mostly crap like, but this one compilation tape of games had one the whole family gathered round the TV to play and it was a great laugh that first Xmas. It was called something like 'The Race' and was just stick figures in a 100m sprint race. There were six of them, each a different colour, and you just bet on one of them. It was only fun when there were a group playing it, as a game on its own, played solo, it was awful, but that first Xmas was enough to get me hooked.}

I went to this holiday camp in Christchurch years ago, they had an arcade down by the water front, I remember playing House of the Dead 1 and Time Crisis 1 for hours! Great times.
{Ed001's Note - I loved those old gun games. They were more fun than the COD-type FPS games.}

{Ed001's Note - you might like this link Ed007 gave me then: Spectrum games for the PC

{Ed007's Note - 1. Elite (C64 and Amiga) 2. Wings (Amiga) 3. Any Assassins Creed (PS3.PS4) Any PGA/Tiger Woods game (from the Mega Dive through the years to the PS4) 4. Desert/Jungle/Urban Strike (MegaDrive) and joint 5th Syndicate, Beneath a Steel Sky (Amiga) with an honourable mention to Red Dead Redemption on the PS3.
There's probably loads more if I really thought about it and as you guys know I can bore the pants off people when I start reminiscing about old games, if the list went to 10 you've got the Leisure Suit Larry games, Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis on the old trusty Amiga (love), Mario Kart which me and the Mrs still play on her Wii, Streetfighter on the Snes......

There was a few there I forgot about ed. there are so many games that I have loved over the years
{Ed007's Note - I'm the same mate. Remember The Last Ninja games, especially the 2nd one on the old Commodore 64 or Amiga I'm not sure? It was immense, there's no other word for it.
I also used to love the flight sims like F-19 Stealth Fighter and F-29 Retaliator, Tekken on the old PS1 and Metal Gear Solid on the PS1 blew my mind!
Happy days mate :-D

I used to love playing the old cinemaware games on the amiga, wings, rocket ranger and it came from the desert. On the 64 the games collection (summer,winter,world and Californian) need a mention.
{Ed001's Note - I have to add in two football management sims that will probably not get mentioned otherwise, as they were overshadowed for most by the later Champ Man/Footie Man series: Premier Manager and Player Manager.
In its early incarnations on the Amiga, Premier Manager was an excellent forerunner of CM/FM. Player Manager, on the other hand, especially in its later versions (when it became packaged as Alex Ferguson's Player Manager) was a totally different level of game.
It had so much tactical gameplay, with you being able to, in one version, set up the player's depending on which area of the pitch the ball was in. The pitch was split up into 9 zones, and then you had to set up the player's positions, with the ball and without the ball, in each of those 9 zones.
If you wanted your left winger to get high up the pitch on the ball, then get back when you lost it, it was easy to set that up. It added such a tactical level to the game that sets it apart from the rest to this day.}

Ed001 was premier manager the game where you had to focus on the advertising side of the business to generate extra revenue?
{Ed001's Note - you did have to fill the advertising hoardings around the ground, but I don't remember there being much else to do with advertising in it.}
7.) 01 Dec 2016 18:26:08

8.) 01 Dec 2016 18:40:43
Ed001 that was the game I played , me and my mate spent hours playing that selling players cheaply to each other.
{Ed001's Note - I used to love it too, but I have to admit that Player Manager was my preferred game as it moved on. It just got so good in the last few versions for the PS1.}
9.) 01 Dec 2016 18:57:46
I love those games dark knight . But modern warfare 2? Was having a good old convo about COD the other day and it hasn't been great since cod 3 in my opinion of course! It is one of the better ones from the modern cods and world at war was good as well but for me it lost its reality after 3! As for the old spectrum comas or games there's chuck rock, dizzy and James pond and I forgot about wonder boy god I love games . I loved champ manager as I mentioned before ed01 just didn't realised what it evolved into. Here's another goldeneye for the 64
10.) 01 Dec 2016 18:59:18
I had a player manager game on the amiga it was made by EA it was so different to what I was used to I never really got into it
{Ed001's Note - that's the one. It was the later versions that became good, in its early forms it was not a good game.}

I have kept it for this long I don't think I could sell it for sentimental reasons but you are more than welcome to have any games you want . I have wings I know you are a fan .
{Ed007's Note - If you ever change your mind give me a shout and if I manage to get one I'll definitely be giving you a shout. (yes)
09 Dec 2016 01:52:42
I still have my amiga 500+ and it still works , off the top of my head I have still got about 200+ games for it. My friend who I sold my first amiga to still has it set up and uses it daily and he has thousands of games.
{Ed007's Note - Honestly, Jay, if you want to sell it give me a shout as long as it's not crazy money. If you look back I was into buying old machines and games on Facebook btw not here, until I got bumped. Only a £10 I think it was and I got it back from paypal but it kind of put me off a bit. I'm going to get back into it once Christmas is out the way.
09 Dec 2016 01:37:06
The sheer amount of games that were available made the whole time amazing especially as they were so cheap *cough*. I still have mine packed away in a cupboard with all the disks so if you need some games give me a shout.
{Ed007's Note - Amiga games? Have you got an Amiga too? This page has went crazy lads, brilliant! (clap) I could talk about this stuff all day!}
09 Dec 2016 01:02:05
The Amiga years was a golden time in gaming, I remember super cars 2 , shadow of the beast , IK+, jimmy whites snooker, operation thunderbolt, kick off 2 and alien breed . All games I spent hours playing when I should of been revising.
{Ed007's Note - I've been looking at buying one for months. My Amiga 1200 was the best machine I ever had and I'm such a dick for giving the whole shebang and thousands of games to the wee apprentice welder I had when I bought my first Playstation.}
08 Dec 2016 22:32:47
I think doom has to be mentioned as a game changer and populous.
