Today smithereens and I had a nice gaming-conversation, so I think it's the final time to start some gaming-thread here. So, if you are into PC-games, consoles etc. place your statements here.
I started with Atari 2600 somewhere in 1985. Exactly like this:

Now it seems like nice piece from museum...

, but in those times it was magnificent...
Later on managed even to get much older Odyssey.

Anyway, with PC-explosion in 1990's, adventure games took over, so LucasArts ruled for a while...

My personal favourite up to today remains Grim Fandango

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grim_Fandango

At the end of 1990's I was lost deep inside of world that was ruled by Heroes of Might and Magic and Civilization, and later settled a little bit with FIFA Manager. Now I am almost completely out... But almost... (:))

You can see a short glimpse of all of them here:

I started gaming on a Commodore 64. One of my school-friends had a Pong machine when they came out and that was amazing at the time. I graduated to a PC and also spent lotsa time with Lucasarts, but more with the Star Wars games like Tie Fighter, Xwing, Dark Forces and Jedi Knight. I spent months playing Civilisation in all its incarnations except 5. My current platforms are Xbox 360 and PC a bit. Currently playing Diablo 3, Bioshock Infinite and Far Cry 3. Let me know if anyone plays D3 and we can have a run together....

Loved the Xwing also! Rogue squadron was pure blast! IMO Civilization III is still top in the series. Played Diablo II a bit in 2000. Diablo III still untouched.

Pretty sure I mentioned this one at CCC, it's a rare steampunk adventure game (Amiga) that I never got to play but I think it looks awesome. Listen to that music!

This is a video of someone playing the whole game, sorry about the length.

And this is how it all starter waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before FIFA and ProEvolutionSoccer. I used to play always the same combination of moves, dribble on the left, pass on the right wing, shot to the left and score from right wing - and that was just it.

Some memories from "tournaments" we organized in Germany and ex-Yugoslavia in 1986 are really funny.

Listen to this. Even Bauhaus will be jealous.
