What was ur first and last (or latest) 64 game, not played on emulator.?
As for my first game...when my brother bought the machine in '83, we received 10 games on a diskette incl. Defender, Pole position and Pacman (1981), which I believe, has to be one of the earliest games ever made for the 64.
Last game: I think, Creatures 2(1992) was it

First games I bought were Renegade and Gauntlet II on tape - I was well chuffed at the time :) Renegade was a good introduction to the half hour loading process, only to get some error 29 minutes into it...and Gauntlet II was good multiplayer fun, bugs and all. Renegade's aged pretty well, I have to say...
Last game I bought...hmm, well I'm still buying them on auction sites...but last 'new' release would probably be E-Swat or TMNT (E-Swat I only bought because Super Monaco GP had sold out 5 minutes before I turned up and I had to have SOMEthing...and I thought TMNT would be a conversion of the arcade game, not that completely crap NES title...it was only a month or so ago I discovered there was an arcade version done for the c64 and it's ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!)...after that Ozisoft stopped bringing C64 titles into Australia (well, at least my area anyway) so there was no hope of buying anything decent after that (Creatures, Mayhem etc)...

Can't remember the first C64 game I bought (although my first Vic20 one was 'Metagalactic Llamas Battle at the Edge of Time!)
Last C64 game I think was 'Turrican II' on disk and probably the appaling 'CJ in the USA' on budget.

First game(s):
Dragon's Lair (also the most frustrating game I ever played), on cassette.
The Prince (crappy budget thing)
Thrust... Fantastic
Last game:
Probably ReBounder was the last one I ever bought... Or maybe Psi-5 from a bargain bucket in John Menzies. I was obsessed with collecting games at that point though, so it was a good thing I got the Zzap! job.

can't remember this one..but incidently my first ever computer game was on VIC-20: 'Blitz' way back in '79, which i played at a technology exhibit.
Last game question: The last game u 'played' (not necessarily bought) in the original 64 era.

First game was Ghostbusters, March 84 I think, one of four games my parents had gotten with the second hand C64 they'd bought for me.
Last game I bought at the time it came out would be Mayhem in Monsterland...

hmmm.... first game was commando :) still remember when i got shellshocked by Hubbard's awesome title track! couldnt believe it was coming from this small machine! :)
Last game was 'Mayhem in monsterland' but at that time I was more a frantic games collector than a games player! found more interesting intrests in life! :)

Hmmm... First C64 game I ever played would be Hunchback. Shortly followed by such games as Apple Cider Spider, Boogaboo the Flea, Jumpman Jr., Decathlon and the ever immortal BRUCE LEE!
Last game I got before stupidly selling my dear, old, dark-grey old-design C64? Well, not a game as such I suppose, but it _was_ the last thing I got. Shoot 'Em Up Construction Kit.

hmm, first was 4 Mastertronic cassettes (Finders Keepers, Action Biker and 2 more).
as for the last one I bought, can't remember which would be right. I bought Mayhem In Monsterworld on disk (yep, I stayed til the bitter end). also, I kept on buying 64 games after the scene died and bought stuff like Saliva Kid and Chicken by Electric Boys (yep, pretty crappy!). mind you, Lions Of The Universe was pretty good. the EBES games were all on disk of course. I kept buying games trying to do my part of keeping the scene going. a losing battle lol

Hmm, first game? A racing game seen from above where you start at a gas station and the road twiasts and turns...even some rocks came falling down the road...and a piece of the track was dirt, i think...anyone know which game im talking aboot? IT was VERY early in the c64 era
Matt posted 04-10-2001 02:46 PM GMT
If I remember clearly (yeah right...), my first games I ever played on the system were Hard Hat Mack, Quest for Tires, Serpentine, Pitstop, David's Midnight Magic and Blue Max. On disc, that was, I have never got a datarecorder. I'm planning to buy one now :) really!

Mum + Dad got Konami coin op hits with the 'puter. I was blown away by the loading screen for Green Beret! Mikie music was great too...Was going to buy APB at a computer show, but ended up with an ST with 40 free games!!

I was only 7 in March '84, and said I wasn't bothered in the slightest when they said they were getting a computer...which of course all changed when it actually arrived.
I've only just discovered this site, quite by accident, and so much has come flooding back. Here's to Zzap! 64 and all those stiff necks I used to get through playing visually / aurally crap but HORRIBLY addictive games like Chuckie Egg II for ten hours solid.
