The good old days, my first Electronic Games was a PC Game: Karateka by Jordan Mechner, released at 1984. Following are few screen shots of it:
Early stage:
The hardest enemy was The Eagle:
This game even has some cut-scenes ! There’s the beautiful girl-friend being imprisoned by the evil king (classic):
Karateka kept me busy for hours and the most thrilling part was the stage where we had to fight the eagle (Boss’ Pet).
Twas an excellent game, that became the ‘embryo’ of the legendary Prince of Persia. Brief history of Jordan Mechner and his excellent games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Mechner.
Anyway, here’s how my first PC look: IBM PC/XT. (True, it looks like an ancient machine, yet it was good enough...)
The only things of this PC spec that i can remember are:
- Graphic Card: EGA resolution 640x480 with 16 colors
- Keyboard: 83 keys.
- Storage: Floppy Disk 5.25" (720KB)
- Speed: About 10MHz
- Processor: 8088 ... (what’s that mean anyway?)
Anyway, thanks to MHS and DOSBOX that i can still play this game today, and hack it !!..
Go ahead people, tell us of your first game here. Share the joy...
