    First game ever purchased with my own money was probably the ICO and shadow of the colossus collection for the PS3. Although my elder brother and I did buy Killer Instinct for the Snes back in the day with our savings.

    Mine was Indiana Jones for the Atari 2600. I think I got it from a Sears "bargain bin" for like $2. I begged my mom to let me buy it and then was pissed at how hard it was for a 6 year old to play.

    Can't remember back that far to be honest

    Would of been a ZX 48k game (The ZX 80 and 81 I only ever typed in the games and saved them on tpe never did buy any games for that) the first one I remember having though as I used to play it on the school comps at the time was for my Acorn Electron on a tape so used to play it on the BBC Micro machines (It either had the BBC version on one side of the tape or just worked on both machines, agan not sure it was far too long ago) BBC Micro's is what most schools had at the time, it was a football manager game still don't remember the exact version of it though after I got a MSX also mostly got those multi game tapes or text adventures sorta early RPGs

    My most loved retro flavors had been the Dizzy games and the Magic Knight games both much the same in that these are early adventure style games oh yeah and a certain 3D (isometric) batman game (some may of heard of Head over Heals, well Batman was much the same just a little older) asides from those again a lot of text adventures (Never Ending Stories is one I remember as I called it never loading as alot of times it just would not load or just seemed to take forever) and Daily Thomson Supertest or atleast one those a kind of kill your keyboard type sports game very fun but killed the keyboard plus the speccy would over heat with that game

    My first game was sonic heroes for the Xbox, but it kept freezing so I traded for the ps2 version

    There was a time that I bought a monochrome gameboy for $10 from a friend of mine. His dad was a little pissed about the deal but he insisted that I kept it, even though I was willing to return it. Oh yeah, that was in 1992 so it was a steal back then. I had a wwf game with it so that's my very first game

    I was late for my PSX (My brother had one though so not as if I never played on one before going for it myself [Was still playing on my Megadrive at the time]) but the first game I got for it was Castlevania Symphony of the Night, the same game I wanted to replace and joined this very forum to get a backup of it as my original befell a horrible fate and was no longer playable, but had one of those cheap clone Action Replay carts for the olde PSX that let you play backups (not perfect but fine for a lot of games) in a weird way I am glad my Castlevania disc got destroyed as I joined this forum and never looked back.

    So what was your first PSone game you perchaced for it then?
