Heres an old one.

Post by arogon343 » 24 Jul 2011, 20:51

Now. Cast your mind back at least 10 years. When i was first able to use the computer i was instantly fascinated by Strategy games. It took some time to master them but until recently i have played this game (RIP) and i wondered if anyone else played this? It was my first real computer game and it will allways be my fave :P

A game I played around 10 years ago? Looking back I am all of a sudden reminded of a racing game I played called Planet of Death. The passing of time means that I have no idea where it is now.

Ten years ago I was playing this;



It was the Creative Assembly's first Total War game, and I've bought every title they've released since then.

My first PC game was Lord Of The Rings: War Of The Ring :D



I let a friend borrow it and then I moved back to Australia and never saw the game again. I can't find anymore copies so I guess i'll have to torrent it. (sorry for piracy, but I NEED THIS GAME NAO)

My first video game, as near as I can recall, was Tombstone City: http://www.videogamehouse.net/tombstone.html

Final Fantasy VII is the game I strongly recall playing a lot, as a child. Along with Total Annihilation, obviously :)

I thought that the point of the thread would be to post games that we were playing ten years ago.

But since people are posting PC games from their childhood I guess I'll contribute some of the games that stood out in my childhood.
