What game did you play when you were 8?
>>721727436is this an alpha build or something? that ui is ghetto
>>721727436all the goats. quake, duke3d, warcraft 2
>>721727436Most likely some game on Dendy.
I would build my hometown in Simcity 2000 then fly around in it, was fun as fuck.
>>721727436Battlezone and Total Annihilation.
>>721727436It was too hard for me.
>>721727436I think I was playing Fire Emblem (7+8), Warcraft 3 and Prince of Persia.
StarCraftwhen we finally got a dial-up connection, i became obsessed with battle.net and playing custom maps; it was my first experience with online gaming and was unironically mindblowing
prince of persia the incredible machine vangers re-voltsome weird bomberman bootleg for the pcand many others since my mum used to buy me pc gaming magazines that came with demo discs
Fortnite
>>721727436Unreal Tournament and Red Faction, mostly. GTA III and Vice City too, I don't remember much beyond that.By the way I am now a normal human being with a stable job, a home, and I have not committed any shootings. Wild how that works.
Video games weren't invented when I was 8
>>721727436
San Andreas, same as now.
>>721727436Warcraft 2Doom and Heretic shareware
First game I bought in a store, or well my dad bought it for me Before that it was pirated C&C Red Alert, Hunters Hunted and some others I dont remember
>>721727436soundtrack still slaps today
>>721727436>1984Nothing at all
>>721727436My feet hurts.
>>721728656You have to be 18 to post here, Anon.
This was my first FPS.
>>721733019yup
>>721727436that didn't look like any of this on my CRT back then
>>721727436Wealth beyond measure, outlander
Streets of RageRevenge of ShinobiGolden axe
>>721727436https://youtu.be/RyzGEKRiVcY?feature=shared&t=140
Back then I'd use cheat codes to unlock everything and then spend all day in create-a-park. Now I'd never consider cheats and would enjoy more accomplishing the actual objectives of each level and wouldn't bother doing create a park.
>>721727436i still remember watching my older brother playing it for the first time
Played the shit out of this on my tv with the gamecube adapter, also SSBM and Kirby's Air Ride
>>721735053>create-a-park.fuck I used to love that shut in THPS2. Spent so much time in that. Maybe nostalgia but was a really decent system looking back on it
>>721727436Pic related, and whatever other sharewares my dad somehow grabbed.Mostly Raptor:Call of Shadows, Skyroads, Hocus Pocus and Pinball Fantasies (got them all in ExoDos).But Jazz was by far my favorite.
>>721727436Probably Tiberian Dawn on the PS1
>>721727436I remember being 8 when my dad bought a computer for family-use, and Carmageddon 2 was one of the games that came with it. Civilization 2 also came with it and maybe Delta Force 2.
>>721727436>8Dune 1. On a loop.I was kind obsessed with the book too, and having read it first before playing, the game was making kid-me seethe with how massively inaccurate it was. Still played it again and again since the game was fucking cool. Knew pretty much all the secret Sietch's direction by heart in the end.
>>721727436the single greatest game on the genesis
>>721737128shadowrun is my favorite by yeah sf2 is up there
>>721727436for me it's the windows 95 version on cd rom
>>721736174You had a good childhood. Golden one if you also had Dungeon Keeper to go with it.
>>721737595It was the only game i played on PC as it was the family computer. No idea where the game came from but it was that, XPs spaceman pinball and this bad boy especially.Then I got a GBA.There was a maze game where you tilt the board to get the marble through, but I can't find the name of it. Think that was on PC. It was like his but with a gloomier look.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsThHCG8xqs
>>721738303Sorry for kid-you then.I do recommend grabbing a pirated copy of Dungeon Keeper then. Same studio than Populous, also an RTS (despite the FPS pic), completely different ambiance and mechanics.
Red BaronSpace InvadersSpace/King's QuestA little bit later I played Earthseige on our dial-up and successfully got into a clan
>>721727519I feel an intense unfair resentment towards you for still possessing your youth as my generation defines itself almost solely by its childhood experience and so being reminded that we are no longer young and have been replaced as the 'youth' feels akin to premature death, none of which is your fault and is sadly ironic because the primary cause for my disgruntlement are the generations older than me and yet I direct it towards the ones younger than me
>>721727436On the Amiga 500
ocarina of time, banjo kazooie, mk64, wave race, crash bandicoot, pokemon, zelda dx, tomb raider, ps1 demo discsgaming really was better back then
>>721731578samebw custom maps were so sick
>>721727519
Peak Cat Kino
>go from overweight to skinny while I 24/7 starcraft at dads during long school break and I didn't even notice until I went back to school and friends asked wtf happened
Some Quake and Duke. A lot of Crash and Spyro. A little bit of Tomb Raider and Twisted Metal.
Forward march!
>>721727436I will forever remember that screenshot. I was 10 or 11 when I played C&C1.
>>721727436CnC sucks. War 2 rules
>>721740634Based as hell.Also this, but not really since the cover art made me shit myself.
SA2BAll day
I played Civilization. I didn't know what tiles did what, so I just built cities, wonders, irrigation, and roads everywhere and attacked everyone with chariots and tanks.
>>721741328I remember being used to MSDOS games back then, seeing BG1 for the first time at a friend house, and immediately begging my dad to buy because that was the most awesome looking game ever and I couldn't even wrap my mind about shit looking so good on a computer.Still look fucking great nowadays, unlike a lot of "visually impressive" old games.
>>721742807F15 Strike Eagle too
The primordial times were pure suffering.
>>721727436>We are going to have to act.. if we want to live in a different world.Why didnt you act, /v/?

>>721727519>haha I'm going to pretend I'm an underage fag so people get madMaybe you aren't pretending, after all.In any case, kill yourself.
>>721727436For me it was Red Alert, I didn't actually play C&C1 for many years after
I remember playing Hukus Pokus Pink, the Pink Panther point and click game at around that age.
>>721727436and F1 2000 with NFS Porsche
>>721731578me too, i miss it
>>721745348porsche is cool
>>721730580It was too hard for all of us, anon-bro.
>>721731578>>721740964The zergling bounds were fun, especially the ones with sounds.
NES games and other DOS games
>>721727436You already posted it.
>>721727436Jazz jackrabbit 2
>>721727436Fantasy World Dizzy.
>>721729692I desperately need a new-ish game that plays like a fusion of this gem and whatever Bokosuka Wars tried to be. Also a third installment of either Uprising or BattleZone (even if in all but name) would also suffice.
>>721727436Diablo
>>721732352came here to post THIS!!!!
>>721736281Tranny
>>721727436Smash Bros Melee in 2001
>>721727436I played doctor with my uncle.
>>721744096Bro the game came out 12 years ago.
>>721727436So much Mario 3 and SMW.
>>721727436Torin's Passage
I don't know about 8, but this little girl game for my sister was one of my first adventure games.
>>721755164>super slut Nancy>for adventurous girls >10 and upThe 90s were wild.
>>721736174Second this but on the Master System.That Retro Core couldn't figure out how to play it properly at his age compared to me at 8 is hilarious.
>>721755345dude, you really need to go outsideyou KNOW Beth was the bicycle of the group
>>721727436Back then we only had psx and old commodore computer. My favorite games were crash bandicoot, dune 2 and hired guns
>>721727436Likely still playing Mario 64, banjo kazooie, Bomberman 64, golden eye, oot, Mario kart 64, etc
>>721731578Broodwar was a near perfect experience, especially custom games.
>>721733861The first is still the best tom clancy game, and its not even close.
Pokemon BlueDKC3Kirby Super Star
>>721727436Marathon 2: Durandal, it was a great series before they trooned it out, hopefully that abomination is never released, the damage is already done though.
>>721741091Hey, I remember playing that game at my friends house.
>>721757330This shit is hard. Many NES games had no chill.
>>721757417Many games in that era and before had like 10 minutes of actual content if they didn't send you back to the beginning every 30 seconds.
>>721727436Golden Axe. I remember really liking the Dwarf.
>>721757931Sure, I still didn't finish Contra the legit way.I know. Skill issue.
>>721727436Chess. Didn't have a computer until early teens.
>>721729692>>721730580>>721737128>>721740634>>721742210>>721742306>>721743878>>721757158>>721757685>>721758113>/v/ is full of boomers collecting social securityholy shit
>>721758701That's early Millenial and late GenX's stuff at best.
>>721757330>wwrrrrh
>>721749228Got this one as a gift on GOG. Great game even in 2025.>>721741995No, just no. Blizzard games don't even make it to my top 10.>1.C&C:Red Alert 2>2.C&C:Tiberian Sun>3.Homeworld>4.BattleRealms>5.Tzar:The Butrden of the Crown>6.Warlords: Battlecry 3>7.Kingdom Under Fire: A War of Heroes>8.Age of Mythology>9.Emperor:Battle for Dune>10.Sacrifice
When I was 8 I was playing my SNES, mostly. probably whatever was new so I guess ff3.
>>721758701I bet I could beat you up
>>721727436Browser games like Neopets and Club Penguin. Also Spore, I played Spore a LOT as a kid.
>>721759370> I played Spore a LOT as a kid.I'm so sorry, Anon.
>>721759532Man, spore was not that bad. The caveat is if you look at it without the knowledge of what it was supposed to be beforehand. As it was, it was a fine little sim game with a funny character creator.

>>721758113A woman with a sword? Holding up like some kind of warrior? Get that woke shit out of here.
>>721727519>8yr old playing Groom Troon Auto OnlineThis would just be bad parenting.
>>721727436I'm pretty sure this was around the time I was playing emulator games, likely when I was going through the GBA library
>>721727436No clue, it would have probably been something on the Commodore 64 or possibly the first worms game
Not my pic but this exactly
Playing some Jedi Outcast on the Family PC.They don't make em like they used to.
>>721727436Literally CnC + Red Alert. Also Pokemon Red
>>721759237Play Homeworld: Cataclysm if you haven't. I personally like it more than the original, but it's very different in tone so its a toss up. Mechanically, its generally superior.
>>721759237>Tzar:The Butrden of the CrownBased
>>721760390Atleast you played a gem
>>721760025I finally tried Halo recently. I don't understand how it got ever hyped, Half Life feel so much better.
>>721764857Only real RTS enjoyers know of that game.
Didn't have many games back thenBut I remember playing UMK3
>>721767239I only played them a bit growing up, but I played that one and I loved it.
>>721761429proud of you
Crash Bandicoot, Spyro Year of the Dragon and whatever verison of jampack had tekken 2 on it. Those were the only games I had for years.
>>721727436SimCity on a black and white Macintosh back in 1995, and I was amazed by how detailed the graphics and simulation were.
>>721761429>They don't make em like they used to.Sadly they don't. The nu-Star Wars games feel so hollow. We are never getting games like Jedi Knight Jedi Outcast, KOTOR and Racer ever again.
>>721731578Same and I still play it today
>>721760025I unironically remember thinking this game looked like real life and that graphics could never get better than this when I first saw it in 1998.
UO and diablodidnt get diablo 2 till like 2005
the ultimate in poorfag technology
>>721727436Also C&C
>>721727436quake
>>721768667Good ol' shareware compilations that clog your Registry.
>>721727436You literally posted it.
>>721727436>2002Counter Strike and Red Alert 2 mostly and a lot of PC and PS1 games.
I was 8 in 1979 so nothing
>>721727436Took a quick look and Earthworm Jim 2 probably.
>>721773463I just played Akalabeth last month.
>>721727436Probably just arcade machines etc the NES wasn't even released where I lived when I was 8yotl;dr I was 8yo in 1984
