What did you waste your youth playing?

[Emsman]

What was the first game that you sat on all day and night?

For me, it was Strike Force Harrier on the Acorn Electron no less, then Ikari warriors, double dragon, then carrier command on the Atari ST, then Golden Axe on the mega drive, which i played over and over.
I also seem to remember playing a flight sim on the pc for bloody ages- set in the pacific ocean, but cant remember the name.

Over to you, just to see what gems from the past i can remember

[Hedders]

Chuckie Egg on the BBC , probably.

[SunnyD]

Elite, the original BBC B version. Sucked up an unbelievable amount of my early teens.

What an anti climax...

I always saw you as constantly poking fingers into a mains socket and dropping lighted matches into your underpants...

[TonyHetherington]

Doom! And then, Doom II !!!!

This was around 1994(ish)

GT5? OK, more like Manic Minor and Chequered Flag.

[Jasandjules]

Loads..

Yars Revenge on the Atari 2600, plus the Jungle game and BMX game
Wonderboy on the C64
Many an hour spent playing Barbarian and kick off on the Amiga (and a few others).

[Lord Pikey]

TTDX and Warcraft 2

Later on it was GoldenEye

[Arklight]

UFO - Enemy unknown

Civilization (and its newer versions have wasted many a later year also )

Transport Tycoon

Rollercoaster Tycoon

many an hour lost to these, still get them dusted off and played now (especially as UFO is on STEAM now)

[ShadownINja]

Elite on Acorn Electron.

You utter, utter bd. There goes my Thursday.

[ally_f]

Grand Theft Auto (The first one)
Carmageddon
Resident Evil

(And strangely I haven't grown up to be a murderer/psycho either)

[ScottishSamurai]

Day of the tenticle & colin mcrae rally on the ps1!

And pokemon on the first gameboy, along Charlie egg (think it was called that)

[BayTheMoon]

I always thought I was a bit backward, now I'm certain.
I never played 'puter games when I was young(er) we only had spinning tops and yo-yo's.
But a couple of years ago I discovered Half-Life and I'm now well and truly hooked. What a game! I get to leave this planet for a couple of hours every night and twice on Sundays!
Plus, once you have the original game, there are hundreds of mods to be had for free (legally I hasten to add) - my current faves being The Pyramid and Cyberspace, both mods for Half-Life 2 Episode 2. Dead fab and groovy! Roll on 6pm.

It would appear i have lost some of my Chuckie Egg skills

[TonyHetherington]

Oh, I've got a serious complaint by the way.

"waste".

Waste? Pah, none of those hours were wasted
