Interplay‘s Lord of the Rings was the first big box game I bought from my own money. It was on sale at the local Karstadt mall. I never completed the game, but loved it so much! What was your first game, bought with your own money?

@root42@chaos.social first games were ‘Pssst!’ and ‘3D Combat Zone’ for the ZX Spectrum. The choice in our local computer shop in a small town in northern Germany was not big. I think they had maybe 5 games for the Speccy and 10 games for the C64. So it was pure luck that ‘Pssst’ was well made and actually fun. ‘3D Combat Zone’ was a Battlezone clone, but I had never heard of that before. I wanted it because it had 3D in it’s name. Was not that bad but a bit slow compared to the original.

@root42@chaos.social I had a big box copy of Jazz Jackrabbit II that never actually ran on my computer and that my parents made me return.
@root42@chaos.social Either Mr. Heli or Abyss for the C64, not sure which one came first. Both really good games that I bought from my pocket money when they were discounted to around 10 DM. I don’t have them anymore, they got sold together with my original Aldi C64.
@root42@chaos.social for me it was Double Dragon on the ZX Spectum. The best was the box 😅
