Just another little bump. This will remain open until Friday. :)
Not in but happy birthday to both of you.
I'm in for:
Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny (Steam)
Thunder Wolves (Steam)
Dracula 4: Shadow of the Dragon (GOG)

My first gaming memory? I was in my father's office and there was a computer, with DOS - I played Prince of Persia and something else. I didnt get to play it much, but I loved it.

My later memories are: playing demo's from various CDs. Later - Doom, Quake (damn, it was scary) and HOMM 3. Also, some platformers Jazz Jackrabbit, Crock, Rayman 2. Later on playing Hitman 2, Max Payne and even Desperados felt like a guilty pleasure, nothing now could bring back that feeling.

Just another daily bump. Closing this tomorrow. Enjoy your day, folks! :)
A very Happy Birthday to you akhliber and your wife, thanks a lot for celebrating with this nice giveaway. Please do count me in with a chance for the following if acceptable:

The Swapper
Thunder Wolves
Restaurant Empire II
Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians

My earliest impactful gaming memory is on the Atari 2600 playing River Raid and competing with my sister for the high score. I was addicted to that game back then and couldn't wait every morning to get back into it.
I'm in for Hero Siege (Steam). Thanks for the chance!

My first experience is watching my older brother play Final Fantasy on the NES back in the day and just being in awe.
Happy birthday to your wife and then to you! Yar!

If I may, I would like to enter for:
Restaurant Empire II (Steam)
Epic Battle Fantasy 4 (Steam)
Silent Storm Gold Edition (Steam)
Frozen Hearth (Steam)

I used to have an Apple IIE, and I played the Summer Olympics game over and over again! Funny, because I don't care for sports game now. Back then, I didn't have much and was easily entertained. Just listening to the countries' anthems was great!

Thanks for this plentiful giveaway, and I hope you have joyous days in the days to come!
Well, happy birthday Mr. and Mrs. akhliber! Hope you both have a splendid weekend together celebratiing.
I would like to only try for one game instead of four and that would be RoA: Blade of Destiny. The rpg nerd in me is crossing his fingers.

My earliest memory is probably playing Pitfall for hours on end on my Atari. Don't remember getting the system, or playing the free games that came with it but Pitfall was so much fun.
Thanks and take care.

I find it hard to resist So Blonde.

I have several early gaming memories:

I had a Casio calculator watch with a numbers game that I played during classes in school.

I remember programming a 3D maze game on a CDC computer (ASCII character graphics, well, I'm not sure it was ASCII, but you get the gist).

I remember visiting friends of my parents who had an Atari 2600, and playing a game. Their kid held a joystick which wasn't hooked to the system but he was sure he was the one playing and was very enthusiastic about "his" success.

I remember trying to write Space Invaders on the ZX81, in machine code (not assembly, actual byte code; calculating branches was hell) using a Z80 instruction which could move memory, and having trouble with the line endings (I'm not sure if anyone remembers the ZX81's display memory layout, I could explain if anyone is interested).

I remember the Nine Princes in Amber game for the C64 (played on a C128). I was a Zelazny fan anyway, but I thought the game was incredible, because you could just type stuff and get more and more responses, and walk in shadow where you wanted. Well, there was a limit, of course, but there was a lot of freedom (with quite a few endings) and a lot of text for an adventure game. Plus I looked at the text on the diskettes (which was partically compressed, just some bytes representing words for compression, and I think I managed to decompress some or all of that) and found some really entertaining texts there. Never managed to find out how to get to them from within the game.

Edit: Forgot to say thanks, happy birthday, and +1.

Not my first gaming memento, but I fondly recall playing the old "Defender of the Crown" by Cinemaware non-stop in my first PC (an 8088 XT). As I wanted to be able to play it at nights (the game had a really loud intro music) and old PCs like mine didn't have volume control yet, I did rig one with a potentiometer and a resistor. The outcome turned to be that I lost plenty of sleep... :D
