I grew up playing on our family's Commodore 64 and also an old Tandy RP-90 'portable' computer. I played some kinda very primitive roguelike, and a ghost-hunting game called '13 Ghosts' and a 3d Scifi Game called Zaxxon. Since the RP-90 was the same age as me, we must've had those starting in 1982 ;)

My family tells me that I learned how to recognize letters from the keyboard of that old Tandy.

The first game I remember picking on my own (not the ones my father had for those computers) was Phantasy Star for the Sega Master System, but there were probably some before that.

The first game I bought with my very own money was on the Sega Master System, but I don't know which game it was.

My Family got our first computer in 1998, it was a Compaq presariou Pentium 1. Earlier that summer I had come upon a strategy guide in a book store for Star Wars: Rebellion. This was the Grandfather to Star Wars Empire at War. You built ships, conquered planets or sent major star wars characters on diplomatic missions to negotiate that planet turning over to your side. You could build super star destroyers and Death Stars, it was awesome. Coming back from a camping trip in Yosemite I found out that we finally had a computer so I went to ToysR.Us the very next day and bougth the game. As I walked home a almost got caught in a lightning storm (a very rare occurence in LA). Luckily my Grandmothers house was closer than mine so I made it there before the rain started to fall and waited it out.

For me it was X-Wing vs Tie Fighter on my first computer. I used to love going up against the Star Destroyers! There was a little known bug in it, that you could blast off the nose cone, fly inside and blow it up from there!

But not long before that I had a Sega Saturn that I didnt play alot, as I mainly had the Aliens game for it, which scared the BJesus out me! I played for an hour, hiding in a corner. Why my parents thought that was a good game for me I still dont know!

I still remember playing some really old games on my brother's ZX81 and Spectrum 128 (that's 128k, I know). However, the first game I actually saved up for was the original ToeJam & Earl on the Sega Megadrive. I loved that game, and the megadrive aswell. I've even got the Sonic back catalogue for the Xbox 360 now so I can relive my childhood, lol.

Actually, it is so funny you brought this up. I am visiting my sister's/ nephew's house and they were playing the Super Nintendo I gave them 10 years ago and first got when I was 5 or something. The first game I played on there was Super Mario World and I would have to say that was my first games.

Other games that I saw they still had that worked were Joe and Mack, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Simpson's: Bart's Nightmare and a bunch others. I posted the pic on my twitter if anyone wants to see - http://www.twitter.com/bfelczer

My first was Age of Empires, the first one. Started my great love affair of real time strategies and I'm still a huge fan of the series. Can't wait for Age of Empires 4 to come out.

If I wanted to go back to the first game I ever played, back when I was barely out of diapers, we had this karate game on an old Mac system that ran in DOS off a 7in floppy. Horrible game to be honest.

The 1980's Tom Baker could have been a good captain, although they would have to have found a way to work in his Doctor Who scarf.

Roddy McDowall is another one I'd love to have seen as a captain.



Or Malcolm Mc... Oh wait... They used him as a bad guy.

Oh God... I can't believe I forgot him...

Sean Bean. *drool* He would make a FANTASTIC Captain. Captain Sharpe... that would be SO brilliant! :D

Does anyone remember their first real computer/video games? I'm not talking about educational games or one's that came with a computer, but he first game that you saved up and bought yourself with your own money.

For me, the first game I got for myself was the original Command and Conquer. I had played several good games before that, but they were largely educational games or one's that came with my families first major computer (A Packard Bell running the latest OS, the brand new Windows 3.1)

Command and Conquer was what got me into gaming, and my favorite genre of gaming for the longest time, Real-Time Strategy.

I could see Colin Baker as an EMH.


Would this simply be a setup for for this exchange...

Visiting Dignitary enters sickbay, EMH is activated

EMH: Please state the nature of the medical emergency
Dignitary: Gaah! Who are you?
EMH: Why, I'm the doctor

Not that this is a bad thing, mind you.

Four pages, and not one mention of Nathan Fillion? For shame, Stonewall, for shame.

Along those lines, I would love to see Harrison Ford as a gritty Starfleet Admiral. A few others I think could pull it off...

McDowall yes, but not Baker so much or some of the other Doctors. Pertwee on the otherhand, thats the ticket.
