The first time I played Alpha Centauri, it simply blew me away. It was the first CivGame I'd played, and I literally almost died when I made a technological breakthrough and the box popped up, with somebody reading an excerpt from Lady Deirdre's book. I listened to every single quotation during that session. Nothing compares to that feeling you get the first time you play a game, when everything is new and shiny.

Top gaming experiences

On ZX81:

first time i typed in 100 odd lines of code that resulted in my 'Helicopter' ('L__T_' - yeah that's a helicopter!!) flying around the screen.

first time i had spent 6 hours typing in a new game to make use of my new extra 16k ram pack and it 'wobbled' - i lost everything.
(well it was an experience).


on Atari 800:

Becoming so good at Joust that none of my friends could beat me in a two-player game. And i could kill the evil flying 'thing' 8 times out of 10(shuffle...shuffle..bweep).

Crying to the song in the Green Boar inn from Alternate Reality: The City. It(I?) was very sad, I was very young and had split with my first girlfriend.

Completely mapping the whole of Alternate Reality: The City and Alternate Reality: The Dungeon. But failing to find the answer to a riddle in the last level of the later.

Playing M.U.L.E with a friend and both 'bobbing' to the song


on Amiga:

Completing Speedball 2 for the first time. Breaking 4 joysticks on Speedball 2 while 'playing' against a friend.

Playing X-com(1) and having half my squad mind controlled by aliens and everyone being killed(for the first time).

Playing Pirates alot and usually ending up as some low-life.

Playing Civ.


on PC:

Playing Pirates alot and usually ending up as some middle-life.

Civ2+Call to power2(hotseat and multiplayer)

Computergames are great(some of them)
