As far as I can remember, it will have to be Skyroads or Ski or Die.

What about you?

My first DOS game (and first video game ever as far as I can remember) was Wolfenstein 3D. I played it on my friend's dad's laptop, I could beat the game but he couldn't complete the first level! :[img]http://www.abandonia.com/forum/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /> Well, we were only 5 at the time. Happy days...

Ooooh....Wolfenstein 3D is indeed a good game.

Where can you download it?

But i should probably not go off-topic, so PM me if you got the answer.

Over to da case.

I think it was Rogue, released in 1983: a wonderful dungeon game

I can still remember my bro coming home with a diskette he borrowed from a friend, which contained Titus the Fox and Stunts and we had to call that friend to ask how to boot it. Didn't know 'bout cd, dir or anything like that. Close after that, it was Prince of Persia, Tetris and Block Out and after that Prehistorik I. All so close near each other that I don't really know which one was first, as we used to play Prince of Persia, Tetris and Block Out on a comp without a HD, only DD diskettes and floppies, and didn't need to know 'bout any dos commands due to it.

I remember playing Jazz Jackrabbit, some pizza making game (not the one we have here, really simple game where you choose witch stuff to put on the pizza LOL ) and one other game that I REALLY miss... But i don't remember it well enough to describe it. All I remember that it had some mazes, and I played it so much that my hands really hurt and mom had to tell me to quit....

It was Civ 1 of corse! I was 3 at the moment and I still remember how I annoyed my dad every second - Dad can I try and play it? I will discover something new! - And in most cases I really discovered something new!

I remember my parents got a 8086 PC. I got a floppy with a lot of games. When I needed to see what was on the floppy, I wrote "dir", but I didn't know the "dir /p" command, but the computer was so slow I could read the filenames as they were listet.

On of the games was Barbarian, I remember playing that alot.
