my first game is "crying freeman". i don't think i can find it on tdc anymore. it was made in TGF and it was the first thing on the front page when i visited the dc for the first time ever. does anybody remember it?
it started with a photo of a tatooed yakooza (cant spell?) back tinted in blue and then the game was a shooter with 8 direction movement.
The first game I downloaded was a virtual pet battling game by a member named ZYX. I can't remember the name, but you'd be given a pet at random at the start of the game and have to battle other pets in combat. In addition there were two elements: heat and cold. Your pet would also die of old age eventually, so you had to be efficient if you wanted to defeat the final boss before then.

Gaah, what was the name of it? ;
actually that sounds very good. way too good. the graphics must have been awful and it must have been buggy or something but some pokemon clone where your critter can die because of age and you have to rush sounds like one of the best things ever. i totally want to play this one now.
@circy: but were those the first click games you PLAYED? i started kliking in 1994 so my first klik games where on share ware CDs and also came with computer magazines where readers could submit their content which was either qbasic text adventures, knp games or command and conquer maps (later not in 1994). so those gaming mags had a lot of german content / self made games by kraut while those shareware CDs were international and contained a lot of american content. it was kind of cool to see the differences between american and german click games in the days before the interwebs.

WTF is wrong with TDC always logging me out when i want to post a reply > : C thx for that aaargh
I remember not knowing what Klik & Create was, but even then it sounded pretty cool. Until I found MMF in the early 2000's, I had been looking for it ever since.
I do not remember my first download and play from TDC, unfortunately.
They were definitely the first klik games I ever played. That is, of course, if you don't count the sample games included with the Click products I didn't even get on the internet properly until 1999.
Dunno about TDC, but the first Klik game I downloaded was some scuba diving game I found in AOL games back in the mid/late 90s. I knew it was a klik game because of the default counter graphics.
Since so many folks are talking about their first klik game evar, I might as well add my two cents.
Back in the day, my dad bought me this CD set called Over 1000 Games. There were a few klik games on there, but the first one I found/played was this mouse shooter called Cheese In Space. It used the spaceship console background from Klik & Play, and it was impossible to lose. You could just sit there and let all of the junk food and such pile up on the screen and you wouldn't get penalized for it. Once the game was closed, an ad for Klik & Play appeared, and being a giddy 10-11 year old kid who always wanted to make his own games, I begged for my parents to order it for me, and they did. The rest is history.
Also, OMG I remember Choppy the Porkchop! =D That really was a dumb game, but the kind of dumb that had its charms. It was on the same CD. I also remember playing Amazing Mazes to Amaze, What A Hell! (also known as What A Day!), and Defense of the Squid Man, which were actually pretty decent titles. I found another klik game called Star Gypsy on a different CD called Galaxy of Games, and it was also pretty kick-arse.
I can't remember the name of the game but I do remember the game fairly well. It was a bog standard scrolling platformer with some weird alien/monster as the main character and basic springs and jumps.
The trouble is it used a fairly big screen size and my pc was too crap to run it full speed when it started scrolling.
Went I first got on TDC, there was a news post about a new game called 'Super Smash Bros. Awesome.' Like so many other people, I downloaded it. I definitely recommend this high quality game

No actually the game wasn't really buggy at all.
I downloaded it too the summer of 2005, it was pretty awesome, and then I tried to make a similar game after being inspired by it. I didn't have the skills back then though. ha.
I think the first game I downloaded was one of the NastyMan games, after being disappointed I downloaded the game on the top downloads list.
@UrbanMonk: so whats the name of that game? i want to try it myself now

@Andy: Could it be Gobbin Cram? you played a green alien and you can move it's arm with it's gone in like 180° directions or something if I remember correctly?
