First PC game ever...

[pwnmachine]

What was the first PC game you ever played? Mine was space quest back in 1990.

How about you guys?

[GrimX9]

Half Life 2. Great way to start!

[EarthDog]

Some Flight Sim game on my TRS80 64k....

[Red_LightRanger]

mega man!!, or maybe it was carmen sandiego on the 8" or 5.5" floppy lol

[Leviathan41]

Tough to remember, but I wanna say "Castle of Dr. Brain (1991)"

[sandyduff]

Annoyingly i can't for the life of me remember my first game... twas a pc game... back in the DOS days... i've been trying to remember for years but can't remember.... after that i got Doom when it was released... then worms...

[TollhouseFrank]

magic vs. byrd.

a 1 on 1 basketball game for the Commodore 64

[terran2k]

moon patrol

[Marshmallow64]

I had some 150 games in 1 pack, lotta shareware stuff.

Wolfenstein 3d would probably be my first full PC game.

[Hardin]

Mechwarrior 2.

[DarkVirusVx]

One of those earth defense games where you shoot into space. The game that got me hooked was X-com. It had so depth. Not only did you have to kill those pesky aliens you needed to keep most of the countries happy(and supporting you) and do R&D. Oddly enough my favorite part was the R&D I loved descriptions...

I'm going to go play UFO if I can find where I put it.

[Joeteck]

Can't remember the name, but it had lions as the characters

[lordkosc]

wolf 3d , before that Oregon trail on an apple igs2

[tinymouse2]

OOLLDD game: Doom
Old game : Half life 1
Semi-Old game: Tomb Raider
modernish game: Half life 2
Modern game: TF2
Modern game: COD4

All IMO :D

[nightelph]

Pitfall at my Dad's work on some win3.1 machine. Amazingness.

Agreed, still have an IG server running, not very popular, but a couple of us still get together often.

[cravennight]

King's Quest

[WonderingSoul]

The original Oregon Trail in school on an old Apple II

[benbaked]

Alpiner on the TI-99/4A

[4GHZ_or_bust]

I honestly can't remember the first PC game I've ever played. It was on Commodore PET back when I was 6 or 7. I can remember a few like Lemonade stand, Snoopy and the Red Baron (math I think, get shot for wrong answer, game ends if you get 5 wrong answers), and later Oregon Trail. And some games that probably never got ported to other platform.

[_slh_]

First PC game was Quake. First home video game was 3D Monster Maze on the ZX81.

[JonSimonzi]

I got a computer for my 12th birthday, and picked out Robot City (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_City_%28video_game%29) as my first game, due to a box that looked cool to a 12 year old. Since I had no idea what the fack was going on in the game, I didn't make it far. I then got Diablo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_%28video_game%29), and played the crap out of it. Those were the first computer games I owned, played stuff like Oregon Trail on Apple IIe's at school and whatnot, but those are the first real ones I owned.

[joedymueller]

probably Lode Runner on the Atari computer

[tinymouse2]

OK I completely misread it. I thought it was what game should I play first *epic facepalm* :(

Trying to save myself: The first game I played (excluding the educational stuff) was *I think* Doom 2.
First game I fell in love with was probably Tomb Raider 2.

[Tranceformer]

Mechwarrior 2

[Drew@PSU]

The VERY first game I played was Pac-Man at the community center, I think I was like 4. I later get the DOOM shareware, and then it was downhill from there....got told off by my dad for tying up the phone line to play Jedi Knight 2, wasting college time on CS 1.6, and so on and so forth....

[Mooyo]

Lemmings?

Lemonade Stand - 1991 - 1st grade

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemonade_Stand

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/aa/Floppy_disk_2009_G1.jpg/800px-Floppy_disk_2009_G1.jpg

It was on one of the 5.25" disks (middle)

NES was my first real experience with video games.

[ScottinIndy]

I really can't recall the first game, I know the original Command and Conquer is probably the first game I really got into, I also enjoyed Total Annihaltion when it came out as well.

[benbaked]

The very first "PC" (as in DOS) game that I played was called Blockout, it was a Tetris-like puzzle game viewing the playing field from above rather then the side.

[howetechnical]

I've got you ALL beat!

My grandfather bought from the first round of IBM PC's (the VERY first IBM PC in 1980, only available to the government at that time for the first round) and as such, he had me playing an MS-DOS (released 1981) based typing game where a stick figure was running on a treadmill (a line, really), and the more errors you typed or the more words you missed the "treadmill" would go faster (the line didn't really move, but the illusion was as such). Eventually, the stick figure couldn't run fast enough to stay on the treadmill. It was a ton of fun for a 3 year old, which I was, in 1984. By 5 years old, I had mastered that crazy stick figure and eventually moved on to the original Windows with its solitaire and ski-free games.

Here's a pic

[jaymz9350]

I'm pretty sure it was Doom. It's between that or X-Wing (speaking of PC and not C64 or the TI cartage thing).

[whooping_a_panda]

The Uninvited (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninvited_%28game%29) or Dungeon of Doom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dungeon_Revealed) both on a macintosh plus :)

of course i was a little too young to understand most of it, or read most of it for that matter i did a lot of watching my pappy play them...i did go back and play through both games however at around 10-11.

my first real video game experience that i can recollect and would have been old enough to understand was mario :)

[gear.h34d.2012]

Lemonade Stand, Oregon Trail. 'nuff said.

[CompuTamer]

I think it was Flight Sim 2004. I remember i started out with a Celeron based HP with 512meg of RAM and it wouldn't handle it.. more RAM... nope... more video card... nope... Pentium D... still nope... MORE Video card, and finally got it lol

That's what got me into computers big time. After that Pentium d, and a year later not being able to handle Supreme Commander Forged Aliance, i got sick of it and set out to build a quad core system... then the i7s came out :D

[MattNo5ss]

And now I have a Mathematics degree...

[TommyHolly]

The first PC games I played were cheap knock-off unlicensed versions of things like Pac-Man, Galaxian, Zaxxon and other games you'd find in the arcade. However, one of the first games on the PC that I ever played that I didn't see in the arcades or on things like the Atari 2600 was "ZORK" in the year 1980 that I played on a Radio Shack, TANDY TRS-80 ("Trash 80")...

http://www.digibarn.com/collections/games/microchess/trs-80version-medium.jpg

*Note: My first game system was in 1977 and was called the Magnavox "Odessey 2000". It was black and white but came with celophane screens that you could tape to the TV that made your TV look like a Tennis Court or a Hockey Rink...LOL!! :)

lol remember the huge plastic boxes they used to come it.

dbl post srry.

[rallyfan1986]

I think mine was commander (or was it captain?) Keen,

Then moved onto Doom, then an early Nascar game, used to spend hours causing the biggest car crash possible

[David]

Probably Soccer Kid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k0SraGCslE) on the Amiga. That, or Pushover (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2Z6QQOaKBA).

[FudgeNuggets]

Probably either Oregon Trail on an Apple II or Parsec on a TI 99/4A

[Locobot]

Oh man Parsec! I played a ton of TI-99 games, can't remember which was first, Munch Man, Hunt the Wumpus, Burgertime, etc. I also remember text based games on the TI-99 that stored information on (audio) cassette tapes, can't remember the names though.

[Douken]

Mine was Minesweeper in Windows 3.1 when I was like 7 years old. Other than that I remember playing some DOS games in some really old computers that the on switch was in the back and only had floppy drives in school at 3rd grade. There was one with a monster car that you had to go to the right jumping cliffs or something like that and another where you were a helicopter and had to rescue people, those 2 were my favorites. First bought PC game was Jazz Jackrabbit, it was in a 1.44MB floppy. Of course, before that when my mom bought the Win 95 PC it came with a 50 game pack, there I could play Doom 95, Hexen, Qbert, Close Combat (my first RTS), and some others I can't remember.

[Neuromancer]

Dont remember the names... had a few games on my TRS-80 though at the end of the 1970's starwars based Zaxxon ripoff, chess, stuff like that.

First PC (as in DOS) game was "Adventure" a text based adventure game

"You are in a windy maze"

[Automiketic]

I played some of the games that came with dos basic pacakge, cant think of the names one was a helicpopter that went through a bunch of places had to avoid hills and caverns, the other had a couple of gorillas i think u were throwing stuff at one another trying to caluclate angle and trajectory. After that was proably Mind Maze back in the prodigy days. Also use to play a 6 level robcop game that was a cartritge that plugged into the side of a giant keyboard that plugged into the tv.

[Atlehunekonge]

Hehehehe,

Larry -off course!!!

First PC game, then followed the sierra series....

[fight556]

Solitaire, but more along the lines of the question asked would be the original doom trilogy for me back in 94 i think.

[dfonda]

In 1986 "Beyond Zork" and ChessMaster.(Work Computer).

My own PC around 1997...Myst. First FPS Unreal. First RPG Diablo 2.

[BenF]

The first games I played were dos games. The first games I owned were Flight Simulator 95, Age of Empires, Quake, and some monster truck game (I can't remember the title) that came with my family's first computer.

[Bobnova]

Oregon Trail on an Apple ][+.

[gregers05]

my was warlords i think. it was a turn based strategy game. pretty sure it was on MS DOS

[TUK101]

Some text based game in the early 80's and Oregon Trail in the mid 80's on the Apple. Our school was one of the first schools in the country to have a full computer lab.

[MisterEd]

The first computer games I remember were "Adventure" and "Star Trek" back around 1980. The computer was an IMSAI 8080 S-100 computer with a 4-MHz Z80 CPU and 64KB of RAM. The operating system was IMDOS which was a precursor to CP/M.

The IMSAI 8080 was based on the Altair 8800. The Altair 8800 was introduced to the world in the January 1975 issue of Popular Electronics. Many credit it as the spark that started the whole PC industry.

[fabulouscoops]

I am going to say Rogue but it might have been a Star Trek simulation coded in Basic and stored on a cassette tape.

[theELVISCERATOR]

First game I really loved was ACES of the Pacific ran in dos mode for sound and whatnot, but you could fly planes!!!

[pejsaboy]

aside from oregon trail at school, the first pc game I played [at a friend's house] was either megarace or doom 2. not really sure which. then there were all the goodies like commander keene 4, lemmings, gobliiins!, etc. still wish i could find my old gobliins! cd>>>

[killem2]

If I was going to give my first ever pc game EVER, and I mean ever ever..

Oregon Trail

[Automiketic]

almost forgot, and i think i needs mentioning was, Rise of the Triad better know as RotT. Was such a gorey game for its day loved how the enemies would plea for their lives before you blew em away! and of course Duke Nukem 3D......shake it baby!

[Mentokk]

First game I remember playing was DOOM. It was on my moms work laptop of all places. I still don't know why it came with it, haha.

[Brutal-Force]

A DOS program that I typed out to play a horse race game on a TRS-80 II. It was a random number generator.

It looked a little like this.

>C:/Run horse.exe

And they're Off!

[X0d1@k]

PC Game? I would say Zork and Hitchhikers Guide Text based rpg! I think it might have been a really really bad flight sim, Amber on black screen? Not sure, just remember it was the AWESOMEST THING EVER!

It was not as cool as the screenshots in the following link, but you get the idea!
http://fshistory.simflight.com/fsh/fsii.htm

This is what the Hitchhikers Guide looked like!
http://myweb.accessus.net/~090/images/hhr17.png

Doom sticks out.

On a side note does anyone remember that old sci-fi game where you had a jet pack i think and at the end of the game it would say how many trees you killed?

[benbaked]

Commodore 64 was my first PC. I am GUESSING it was Zork as I remember that the most.

[bda1967]

Close Combat III: The Russian Front. I didn't get my first PC until 2000 so I was a little late getting into the game.

[Dolk]

Chips Challenge on the 95.

[Enablingwolf]

Two of the oldest games on a computer I played... Hard to remember which one came first.

We had an old Tandy in the home. Yes... It was a cassette tape drive. No hard drives then.
It was a text guessim game. Can't recall the name. It was about the computer guessing which animal you where thinking of. All text, and off the tape deck.

Now the first game I made myself..... It was on the Commodore Vic. Ah the old POKE and PEEK programming language. Something called Comet. I think it was like 400 lines of build. The game was more about making it, than playing it.

I can't recall which I did first. :(

[baqai]

before Commodore 64 there used to be Sincliar ZX Specturm and my first game was a version of ping pong which you had to type and it was long bloody 1000 plus lines of coding ... argh!

[Jawsome]

scorched earth on an IBM ps/2

[UnaidedSoul]

the first game I remembr playing was Doom when I was 4 lol I think it came out 1993.

[surfhick]

Back in 1976 my HS got one of two (For our school system) Hewlit Packards. 4k monsters but they were samll. Kind of like a PC form factor. Had a one line text read out or could out put to a plotter. Would only take input from the keyboard, a card reader, or from the cassette deck (drive?). No OS yet. This thing only understood BASIC. So, my first games were ones that I made myself. They were text based and very small since the cassette would only store in 256k sectors. My friends and I started to make a Star Trek game and quikly came up against the 256k sector barrier.

I wonder if something similar didn't inspire that dork to come up with DOS.

my first game was Age of Empires i was 9

[Zenoth]

The Shareware version of DOOM back during I believe early 1994 (winter, like January or February), I still remember quite clearly, I'm just not sure on the exact month, but I know it was around that time, and I recall that I played it at the local games renting store where I used to go with my cousin, they had it on display and we could play a bit as well, when I saw it at first I didn't really understand what it was since it was the first first-person-shooter view game I saw, but after a few seconds after seeing the enemies, hearing the sounds, looking at the animations, the violence, then I really started to like it, and I and my cousin happened to rent the Genesis version of the original Mortal Kombat that very same day (at that store).

[Brutilus]

The Wizard's Castle. Test-based adventure game that ran in BASIC. 1983.

[jason4207]

I remember playing all sorts of little games, but nothing really stands out until a really old platformer called Pandemonium. Good times there indeed.

Oh man! Pandemonium! WOW! I remember that game!
I still remember the death music and the cheesy fall down animation that accompanied it! :D

[Trueweltall]

Space Harrier?

Nah this is not it, this was a pc game.

[turbohans]

Ummm, cant remember but there was a couple that ran on DOS with my tandy 1000es

One thought was a pool game kinda cool for its time on the monocrome display i used LOL

[Route44]

Going through grad school and then getting married in the 80s kept me on hold until I was able to build my first PC. I purchased a Creative X-Gamer audio card that came bundled with Thief: The Dark Project (which had already been out for awhile). Then Baldur's Gate 1 with the expansion Tales of the Sword Coast.

A great way to begin I must say. :thup:

[silencer51]

I think it was MS Flight Simulator 5.0 for me.

Too far back to remember, some cartridge that plugged into the side of my CoCo 1..

When i was able to afford a 5.25 floppy i do remember purchasing Kings Quest. Great game back then, fond memories!

[GreatSaski]

Mine was Space Quest or The Journeyman Project. Can't really remember.

[IKIKUINTHENUTZ]

Actual first game, I think math munchers or was it color munchers on a green only screen in which defeats the purpose.

First real experience
Raptor Call of the shadows

Baddass game from Apogge

Blowing up oil rigs, spreading pollution into water, Blowing up chemical plants, Havoc in a jungle, tearing up a city at night while you can't see crap, blowing up Airports, creating a chain reaction on a Space station, Capital ships, killing giant gorillas throwing coconuts, laser cows, lizards (last 3 items needed a in-game cheat to activate)

i have one of those, processor was swapped with an 8088 and the ram has been stacked aswell.

http://www.slipperybrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/vgmagnavoxodyssey2000.jpg

i sold 2 of those exact sets last year, they are quite the money maker, buy em for $5 sell em for $35, huge circuit board with not a whole lot on em, not much to go wrong durable and it seemed people were a bit more anal about keeping their boxes and instructions together back then.


so any way first PC game, i dont know what ones first but it was on a 286 or 386 but it was either Secret Weapons of the LufftWaffa (or how ever you spell that last word) OR Duke Nukem...first one platformer type game.

i vaguely remember having to do something special with the sound card, which we ultimately replaced and i also remember playing it in 16 colors, but i could be way off and i may have played something else before then.

First real experience
Raptor Call of the shadows

Baddass game from Apogge


I love that game!! Twin-beam and laser turret ftw! I still play it on emulator from time to time, it was one of the few DOS games that didn't give a rip how much conventional RAM you had available which made it very easy to get up and running, unlike RAM hogs like Falcon 3.0 and the Wing Commander games. Raptor was my favorite of all Apogee games, Blake Stone was up there too.

[mrgettmann]

Some Conan game for DOS. Cannot remember the name for the life of me. Just know that your character was a solid square running threw a maze and the X's were monsters. 90% text based....eh, 1988 I think. It was on a 386.

Edit: Forgot about "Legacy of the ancients" for the old C64....late 1987 or early 1988.....

[Puer Aeternus]

My first time was in a messy basement on a old couch, she was a little big in the trunk and not much on brains but man....what a thrill, her name, Commodore 64! and the game was "Sword of fargoal".

And get this...it was loaded from a cassette that took about 20 min, talk about lengthy foreplay. Ok...enough w/ the innuendo.

Seeing all these games brings back memories...not that i'm dating myself :-P

[Iam99x]

Either Snake or Oregon Trail

California Games

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Games

SO MUCH FUN

[xilix]

The first game I ever played on PC was, I think, either Karate Kid or Double Dragon on the C64 my cousin had, can't remember the year, but it was a brand new model, just came out. I had SO much fun on that C64 with my cousin. He was into the BBS thing, I knew nothing about it, but it was really fun to watch him snoop around and meet people.

The first PC I owned was a Packard Bell desktop. It was 486DX2 66mhz with 8MB RAM and a 540mb HD. The first game I played on that was a submarine game that came with it. 'Silent Hunter' I think? Then I bought Grand Prix Legends, and it was all over for me after that, I was a simracing junkie instantly, and I modded and created content for racing simulations all the way until just about a year ago when I threw in the towel.

My first online multiplayer experience was Doom over 56k. I remember some really late nights going head to head with my cousin.

I remember getting a sonic game the day my dad upgraded my computer to windows 95 haha. Before that I played these educational games, no idea what they were. Although I feel like I played Doom, and Descent on my cousins computer around then too, but I can't remember exactly.

I was 3 years old when my father introduced me to Wolfenstein 3D.

I still remember blowing up Nazi's and mowing down Hitler with an MP44
