Ikari Warriors was legendary boys, whats wrong with you lot! 😀
Ikari Warriors is a 1986 arcade game by SNK (published in the United States and Europe by Tradewest). Known simply as Ikari (Ikari? literally “anger”) in Japan, this was SNK’s first major breakthrough US release and became something of a classic. The game was released at the time when there were many Commando clones on the market. What made Ikari Warriors instantly distinct, were rotary joysticks and the allowing simultaneous play by two people.
Ikari Warriors involves Ralf Jones and Clark Steel of the later King of Fighters series (known outside Japan as Paul and Vince in the Ikari series) battling through hordes of enemies. According to designer Keiko Iju, the game was inspired by the then-popular Rambo films and takes its name from the Japanese title of Rambo: First Blood Part II (Rambo: Ikari no Dasshutsu or “The Angry Escape”). Ralf and Clark also make an appearance as playable characters in Metal Slug 6 .
yes it was a tad bit good – must have pumped hundreds of pounds into it at the sea front in seahouses – it was the only place i have ever seen it – you can of course get it on mame but with out those amazing rotating joysticks it is just not the same
if you can figure out what the keys are you can play it here

Nowt wrong with us you breast! This is a thread on what was your early video game, not what you thought was your best game.. *tuts*
IW certainly did rock though.. loved it.. the conrols on the arcade machine were pretty kool.. I also like Commando and Mercs too 🙂
My first game was.. pong back on the binatone.. I used to like a game on the BBC called Citadel.. obviously jetset willy was good and me and a mate used to hammer a 2 player game on Spectrum called “Viking Raiders” it was superb for its time!

Anyone remeber a spy game (not spy hunter) on Amiga.. you drove a car in the beginning level.. I have no idea what happened after that because the game was so fucking hard I couldnt get passed the first level!!
mine was a version of Starhawk for the Apple II in about 1981… earliest Star Wars game, death star tranch in line graphics.
Agree that Elite was the game of the era, superb. So much so I have an emulated PC version true to BBC wire graphics that I still play occassionally, runs well on the palm top too :))
i had a look through my old commodore games today before i took the whole lot to the dump……….still had my first commodore game, armageddon in the box! Also had bombjack 1 and 2, elecktraglide, way of the exploding fist, simons basic and numerous others as well as a few books on programming in basic!! Was a shame to bin it really as it has many memories for me as a kid but i can’t keep old junk in the loft forever.
My first online game was airfix dogfighter closely followed by the delta force series a good while before BF42 came out.
MUH. ebay?
I did like Delta Force, was my first online FPS and i can honestly say ive never seen so much blatant hacking, it became comical to watch. Cost me 3.99 so what did i expect.
checked out ebay but the C64’s were selling for around 20 quid in top condition and seeing as mine had been well used i figured i’d be lucky to get a tenner for it.
speaking of c64 – special mention to paradroid
straight port of it can be found here

thanks to this tread i have been in retro gaming heaven and got stuffed at chaos by a spectrum … having said that the free version of chess you got with the spectrum used to beat me on the easy settings 🙁
had a binatone too , then progressed onto a vectrex with its very basic graphics . atari 2600 with joust . then a cpc464 which i still have in the loft , used to play bombjack and ikari on that like a madman . hit the arcades too , spent a fotune on mr.do and defender at butlins .
If you all mean a ” comodore 64 ” then jumpman was the game for me my very first real hook too computergaming but im old also

hehe yeah the old games wheren’t too hacker secure. In Jedi Knight you could do some crazy shit, like firing missles shaped like starships, mines shaped like Max from Sam and Max, make other players say stuff, home made grapple hooks, create any model that was in the game anywhere, push people off the level…
..not that I did any of that of course 🙄
