Your first "serious" game

[aimeeandbeatles]

"Serious" meaning not a little kiddy game.

I think mine was Roller Coaster Tycoon. I used to crash the coasters on purpose.

Well for non-kiddy, Civilization II, although I think I first played it in 1996! Maybe 1997. There are few games I have I wouldn't let kids play, and even then that'd mostly just be based off how easily I think they could figure out how to play it.

 

[Captain Carnage]

Police Quest

 

[Dachs]

Shadows of the Empire. Also my second video game ever.

 

[JtheJackal]

Dungeon Master for the Atari ST. I'm told this was probably my first video game ever, even before I played age appropriate games like Donald Duck Adventures or Mixed-Up Mother Goose.

 

[LightFang]

Counter-Strike, probably, or Diablo II.

My first serious game on the PC was Age of Empires, which turned me into the civ player I am today It came on my families first PC we ever bought.

 

[GoodGame]

Probably Typhoon of Steel by SSI for the Apple IIe.

[Book Budda]

Have to be Lords of the Realm II I loved it, until my disk cracked in half

 

[Civfan333]

Civilization III, awesome!

 

[Azale]

Whoah...ok, gotta think way back. Probably Super Mario Bros. or Duck Hunt, neither of which fall into the kiddy category in my honest assessment.

I can't remember if I played Super Mario World before Super Mario Bros. though.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Master of Orion 2.

 

[azzaman333]

Probably Carmageddon.

My uncle was such a terrible awesome influence on me when I was younger.

Well, I mean not specifically for children. If both adults and kids can play it, that's not a kiddy game.

I realised that, but I'd like a 10 year old play almost any of my games (though not on my computer and without any access to a mic) except maybe The Witcher or EUIII or games that are a bit beyond 10 year old intelligence levels.

Age of Empires II Demo, I believe. Either that or the Zoo Tycoon Demo. Possibly Simcity 2000 or 3000 as well.

First violent games were Starcraft and Diablo II Battlechests.

 

[Danielos]

Sim City and Storm Across Europe on Amiga...

 

[truckingpete]

Mine was Age of Empires II....awesome game, still play it...better then the 3rd one i think...but i still play the 3rd one also!

If you mean games ou wouldn't let kids play due to content then for me it would be Doom and Wolfenstien. If you mean games that are beyond a childs understanding ummmm...........none?
