Track and Field - the game where the 100m left you with no skin on your fingers.

Not sure how I missed Counter Strike 1.6 off that earlier list. Many a night was spent at university playing clan games into the wee hours.

Tir Na Nog on the Speccy was a great game, hard though with old Sideh knocking around.

Then didn't play many games for a few years.. and moved to PC
earliest PC games I can think of were
original Doom
Quake (i think have my original quake server PC with so many custom maps in storage!)
them Half Life
which brought me on to TFC, which I played for many years at UK league level
then when Counter Strike came out, that was the go to game!

nowadays, its all XBOX One games
but once in a while, i grab an emulator and play some old games!!!

 

[grumpyjock]

Cant remember many of the games, do remember writing programmes for the apple in the 80's on the dungeons and dragons themes.
when i got the pc it was dos 3.1 and we played lemmings and cat and mouse.
then the grandson got involved and i never played on it again.
left him to his ps1/2/4 and the others he's had over the years.
