(To be fair, I played Commando on the C64 before, but, goddamn, Another World[1] showed me what was possible.)
[0] I'd played with an Amstrad "Something", playing with mates who had a Vic20, and a C64.
[1] ... and Shadow of The Beast. Awful game, but what amazing sound and graphics!
EDIT: Oh, crap, didn't mention: I, along with a friend, programmed that Amstrad to play a basic Roulette game in some sort of BASIC variant -- Trust me, the ASCII graphics were amazing! On the Amiga, I started with a little draw-a-chart-type-thing based on reprogramming the on-screen characters (or was that actually the C64? Hard to remember at this point). Maybe I'm an absolute liar and I actually started out with a C64? I definitely remember programming my first ray-tracer in Turbo Pascal on a xNNN (N=digit) PC with a VGA card + grey-scale monitor. Memories are hard in both senses of the word :(.
- Boothroid 9y agoAh, those rotoscoped vector graphics were fantastic! Flashback was great as well.

- richardw 9y agoI had an Amstrad CPC-464 and then an Amiga 500. So many youthful memories! Still have the 500 but haven't fired it up forever. Then yup Turbo Pascal at school.
- lathiat 9y agoMy favourite Amiga game was Gods followed by Flashback
- ekianjo 9y agoGods was awesome but Speedball 2 from the same devs was a brutally fun game especially with 2 players.
