When did you make your first game?
I started my first game in 1995 and finished it in 1996. It was some crappy adventure (but graphical by the way).

It was about 1998 or 1999 I don't know exactly.
The games name was Reptar (from the cartoon "Rugrats" or somthing like that..). It had no graphics.It was a typing game where you could only see text. I wanted to make pic's too but In Quick Basic it's really hard to draw a colorful picture.


PS!: A lot of game ideas Eero huh? ;D

By the way, my first game was made in Q-BASIC too (it's very popular, I guess), and I used .BMP files there (although that made loading times a bit long), drawing using commands is really a nonsense.

I also made my first game in Q-Basic in winter/spring 2002. It was a text game called "Adventure House". I got inspiration for that game from "Hackers World" (Eero, I'm sure you know this game)

You could use BMP files. Oh and I thought that this wasn't possible. Stupit me.

Well, you still had to know all about the structure of BMPs and write a lot of code.

The code was really easy. I had no problems with that.
I wish SCI would be that easy :P

I made my first game when I was 5. It was one of those Infocom type games based on Day of the Tentacle :D

I was 6 when I made my first game.
When I was 5, I made my first program application.

Technically a game is a program, it's just meant for recreation/education.

Technically... or should I say "application"?
