/vr/ - Retro Games

Barbarian (1987) by Psygnosis. I don't know exactly if it's the oldest vidya I have ever played, but it's one of the first games I ever played. Of course I played all the games from Pong to Space War years later, but Barbarian was one of the first games I played before they were considered retro. It was frustratingly hard game and I can't believe I actually made progress in that game to final stages when I was a kid. I recently tried it again and it's one of the most merciless and unfair games I have ever played. I don't know about the hardware, but it was a very old computer (even at the time). It had orange-black monitor.

The first game I actually ever *played* played, as in, got immersed in the game world and obsessed over the characters and plots etc. was The Secret of Monkey Island. It's still one of my all time favorite games. Played it on my dad's work computer. Our dad didn't actually need a computer in his work, but he bought it just to be one of the cool guys in the village. My older brother pretty much hogged the whole computer to himself and he got all kinds of games from his friends, including Monkey Island.

Made this some time ago.

I made this by myself. It's from Barbarian.
