What was the first game you created??

Hey guys.

Just wanted to know what was the first game you ever created.

I never created a complete game before, but I did manage to make a simple battle engine.

I've created some small platform, adventure and various other games on Apple II, Colecovision Adam and Amiga (among others.) Old computers, I know, but now days I mostly write business, diagnostic, utility and other software.

The first game I made was a top down car race game.
It was done entirely in ASCII with various shaped block characters. It was programmed on a Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) PDP-11.
(All the youngsters go...'a what')

Then I moved up to a TRS-80, then the Tandy Color Computer (CoCo), to an Osborn portable (weighed 45 pounds), then various IBM compatibles.

In recent times I have made a Collapse game clone and Pitman clone game; these were done in C and DirectX.
The Pitman clone was about 80% done, but still quite playable. If I can find it I can post a download link to it.
It would be interesting to redo it in Brutus2D.

Regards,
Guilect

hi to all! i am new here.

my first finished game was a handball game for the MSX computer (obviously written in plain basic). No animations, no good graphics but for me a great emotion.

My first game was on the Amiga. I never did figure out how to make graphics on a Commodore 128. It was probably a game where you drove a motorcycle or something (a pixel) which created a trail. The aim was to block the other player so that he would crash into your trail (which never disappeared). I don't know (remember) what those games are called though. But there are millions of clones.

Then I actually tried to make a multi player network racing game with scrollable tiled track (background) using AMOS. It worked pretty good but I could never get the networking (serial link) to work properly. I later learned that I had set the communication speed (baud) WAY too high so the computers probably received too much garbage. Sometimes it worked for a while though and I tell you, the feeling you get when driving your car and seeing it move on the other computer is indescribable.
