I'm asking this because amazingly I can't remember exactly what it was now!
But what was yours?
(maybe this will jog my memory a bit haha)
-
SimAnt and I LOVED it!
-
It was Garrison for me. I even bought the 512K expansion for my 500 so the character sprites would vary.
-
One of the Alien Breed games.

Shadow of the Beast!
-
Did a little bit of checking on release dates and it had to have been Marble Madness. What an awesome game that was too and it even booted to Workbench which was nice.
Interestingly I recently read about the creation of this game, and although I knew it was written in C I didn't know it was pretty much using the original C source code and emulating the bespoke arcade hardware in software via some machine code routines. Strange way of doing it but it is to us what Zarch is to the Acorn Archimedes. An awesome game written in the least efficient way in a high level language.
-
It was a triple pack that was included with the A500. It had Obliterator, Barbarian and Terrapods. The first one I went out and bought was probably space quest 2. It was a good time for gaming, there were a lot of games and a lot of variety.
-
I remember Myth, Robocop 3, and Shadow of the Beast 3, and Ultima VI being the gems included with first 2nd Amiga set up I had bought off a nurse I worked with years back.
The first set up I bought only came with back ups, so they don't count. :)
-
Had to have been Blood Money. Don't know the timeline, but afterward I bought Rocket Ranger, and Battle Chess.
-
I don't remember very well either, but I guess Their Finest Hour: The Battle Of Britain (http://hol.abime.net/1370) might be it. It has nice thick book with it...
-
A lame tank game by Titus Software. Segway with a gun. bleah. You were bored with it after 10 minutes.
-
It was Rainbow Islands, I still remember it costing £8.00, which was alot of money to me aged 10 :)
-
Sensible Soccer was the first game I've bought. The beginning of a big love :laugh1:
-
Crazy Cars, but it was stolen by some jerk on a club day :uzi::quickdraw:
The only original game I own is Frontier First Encounters.
-
Ports of Call, still have it on my HD.
-
Hard Drivin' 1 week before buying my first Amiga (500)
I Loved the arcade game !!!
-
I think it was one or two. I don't remember which though (they were probably no quality stuff to remember).
As off topic as relatives go:
We also had NES, but ever bought 2 games I think (excluding the SMB1 that it shipped with). In the case of NES we had no choice but barrow all the games we ever played minus 3. Same was true for Mega Drive (Genesis), SNES, Gameboy, N64, and Dreamcast. Except in the case of DC I bought only one game: Sega Rally II, that was crap. Only the first track appeared arcade-like and smooth (which was the one I had seen in a video review). already the second one was very laggy. I felt robbed. I went to the store and got Soul Calibur instead on my request. While it still was worth far from even half the cost, it was a good game, unlike the former.
-
Bards Tale 1. I loved that game, I had played it on the 64 and when I got my amiga 500 I had to have it. Not the best graphics by most "amiga" standards, but still very fun to play. the bard songs were of course great on the amiga.
-
Rick Dangerous. Still to my mind one of the most fiendishly adictive platform games ever made.
-
First AGA game I bought was Super Stardust AGA, got it on day of release I remember.
-
Mine was Starglider.

Mine was Mousetrap: http://hol.abime.net/2524 .

-
My first AGA game was Super Stardust or Simon the Sorcerer A1200. And the first RTG game was Myst :)
-
I have to admit, I never bought any original game back in the good old amiga days. Main reason was that in Malta we had no copyright law, so it was free for all. I used to buy games directly from the cracking group Fairlight.... the games cost like 4 or 5 marks per floppy.
-

My science teacher was the guy who designed Stardust. Even showed me the paper original of the map screen.
A very cool guy.
-
Mine were Manix and Cloud kingdoms.. came with my A500.
-
1st game was either Sinbad or Defender of the Crown. 90% sure it was Sinbad.
-
First one was Falcon. I also remember Archepelagos and Magic Marbles (?) being pretty early. Oh, and Operation Wolf. My coworker loved OW on the arcade and was most impressed that I had it at home. I let him borrow my A500 (& monitor, etc.), along with Falcon and OW. He was reluctant to give it back, but I think his wife missed him and made him return it!
-
Another World and it was really great.
-
I got off to a late start. It was Dune 2.
-
Geoff Cramond's Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Superb game. Shortly followed by Alien Breed '92.
Many an hour lost to those two... ;-)

The first game I remember buying was Monkey Island, which I bought second hand! I remember at the time I shared a bedroom with my little brother and we shared a TV, I spent so much time playing it that I got banned from using that TV by my parents. So the first time I completed it was on an old black and white portable that I set up on the dinning room table. Good times!
-
Defender of the Crown, Mind Walker and Sinbad. I am pretyt sure bought all of them at the same time.
-
Bard's Tale II, if I recall correctly.
-
First Amiga game I bought? Well, I think Tetris came with my brand-new A500 package, so I guess you could say that was it.
After that... Hmm. I don't really remember, either. I think it was a flight sim. I probably should have gotten Falcon (I later found out it was better), but I think I actually picked Chuck Yeager's AFT 2.0, as that had just come out. (Like 1989/'90)
-
It was Defender of the Crown. I bought it with my A1000. It appears on the receipt. I had read the review in Commodore Magazine.
-
Psygnosis Shadow of the Beast
-
Mine was Arkanoid...I think it was the first game I could actually buy for the A1000.
-
I think it was Archon or Adventure Construction Set, definately an EA Game. It was the same day I bought my A1000 and WB 1.1 had just been released. Of course I also bought Deluxe Paint.
-
Menace then i graduated to bloody money finally one day making it all the way through. Oh the time i wasted:)
-
Marble Madness. A bit later I found such gems as Better Dead than Alien, Airball, and Immortal. Other names escape me at the moment...
-
Late to the party;whatever was in the box:Tetris ,I think.spent hours playing that.Pretty sure Outrun and a few others were part of the package but they didn't appeal to me.Lost somewhere in my C= stash.Then Defender of the Crown was probably first game purchased seperately.
-
Bought?????
-
While I can quite remember my first game, I can vividly remember driving to my local Amiga store to purchase Gloom! Ahh what a game!! Horribly outmatched by even the the weakest 486 of the day running Doom or Wolfenstein but I played that game for weeks on my trusty old A1200/030!!
-
Sword of Sodan was my first Game for my beloved Amiga 500 :) Oh what memories.
-

Did you choose to play the woman in the sexy little outfit or the guy though? Now that is the question ;)
(ditto for Golden Axe)
-
My first game was "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - Adventure Game", followed by Ultima V.

Mean 18
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_18
Quote: Mean 18 had two major claims to fame: it was the first computer golf game to give the golfer's point-of-view of the course, and it was the first golf game to come with a course editor that allowed players to create their own courses.
This game kept me and my dad stuck in front of the 500 for months on end. Eventually the disk broke and we spent an age trying to get another copy. Magic game.

DAMN, I loved Mean 18. The graphics were ugly as hell but it was the first I had ever seen that allowed you to create your own course. My Dad also loved that game. Check out Jack Nicholas. It is basically a slightly improved Mean 18. That was definately one of my favorate. It also got really good reviews.
