sprite Report post Posted November 28, 2012 Inspired by the classic car game thread. What games did you guys grow up? Any favorites? The very first system I had was a Commodore 64 I got when I was 6 or 7 years old. This is where I started learning programming (BASIC) and probably the reason I ended up doing software for a living. We also had a 286 in the house. As far as games I played: Frogger and Giana Sisters On the PC I played: Sopwith Alley Cat Simcity Classic Prince of Persia The Cycles Scorched Earth Police Quest Lemmings Stunts (which I thought was cutting edge at the time, loved the track builder feature) Micro Machines 2 My friend had an Amstrad, two notable games that come to mind on that are: Manic Miner The Scout Steps Out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
