Here it is, i present to you the very first game i ever played 25 years ago in 1984.
It also (as i have just learned through the wonders of the internet) was apparently "the first computer game ever to truly scare people".....yeah cheers Dad i was only 5! No wonder i used to quite literally shit myself every time an unexpected alien used to jump up at the screen!
A classic Lucasfilm Games production, Rescue on Fractalus was also the only good game we had for our beloved (or decrepit depending on your opinion) Atari 800xl 8-bit home computer.
Yes It did used to scare me shitless at the tender age of 5, but to be honest or much greater source of fear was whether the bloody thing would load or not. Good old 8-bit tape decks eh?
I was 16 at this time, when I was programming and gaming on 800 XL.
ReplyDeleteThis game "Rescue on Fractalus" has been the most frightening game I played : you manage to come to a far away planet to rescue people and then ...
By the way it was the first game that made me enter the world of fractals (thanks to mister B. Mandelbrot)
