I believe I purchased the first Amiga 1000 sold in the state of Virginia, in late 1985 (October?).  It was December, I think, when I received via mail-order the first game I could get my hands on:

Activision's "Hacker"

Soon after came the oh-so-thrilling Software Golden Oldies from EA.  

The most fun I had in that Amiga-just-released period with a game was with Infocom's Wishbringer, which I was laying in January '86.  Good stuff.

The first game I ever played on an A1000 was "The Pawn" developed by Magnetic Scrolls and published by Rainbird Software. As this was my first Amiga and the first game I ever bought for it, I seem to remember this happening in 1986 or early 1987.

You all seem to have played such interesting games.

The first Amiga game I played was CarVup on A500+. I still love it to this day and I still can't get past level 3 :lol:

Defender of the Crown, Port of Call.

I remember that i was impressed by the water animation in DOTC . Ports of call was really amazing, with good graphics and sound. I hope we will see again quality games such this on the new amigas.

It\\\'s time for the Amiga to come back

It was Menace, at a local computer shop in November 1988.  I'd spent two years with a Spectrum +2 and was amazed at how pretty Menace looked then...  And am equally amazed at how dated it looks now.

When I eventually bought my first Amiga (A500) in 1990, the first game I played was Xenon II, with the sound cranked up.  :lol:

Hi,

It was on a standard A500 at a cousin's home around 1988, a game whose name I forget : it was an arcade game, maybe a strategy game, taking place in some futuristic nuclear war scenery, whose level I played was a first person shoot and run through a corridor, where enemies were coming from side ways, and at the end of which there was some sort of love scene.  Does anyone identify this game ?

I used to play with A500s of my friends in late '80s. I was 8 or 9 years old and I owned a C64.
Sincerly I don't remember the first game I played on Amiga but I still have in my mind what I thought every time I came back to my home: "I love Amiga!".

The mine arrived on 1992, it was a gorgeous A500+ that I still keep. It's mint!

The first game which I played was Lotus Turbo Challenge 2. During the same day, I tried also demos of Pinball Dreams and Shadowlands.  

That was a great period... I'm so nostalgic!!! :boohoo:

Way back when (no idea on the year), I saw an ad in the paper and went to a guys house who was selling an Amiga 500 with monitor (old 1.3 kickstart), and he had it setup on his kitchen table and BAM, up loaded TV SPORT BASKETBALL.

I was by no means a sport game fan, but when I saw all those colors and the fans faces, with the announcers voice I was sold before the tip off!

Up until them I was a commodore 64 owner and loved games like M.U.L.E and California Games, Commando, Spy Hunter, etc.


FAVORITE AMIGA GAMES:  Project X, GODS, Speed Ball II  (anything by psygnosis & Bitmap Brothers)
