PC Gaming

The first actual computer game i bought was Morloc's Tower for the Apple II+, which i bought when visiting San Francisco.

I don't remember anything about our family PC but the first games I played on it were Runescape, Rollercoaster Tycoon and Age of Empires 2. Runescape I mostly just played with friends from middle school but I spent hours upon hours on Age of Empires 2

Ask me about LOOM

Unsure which actually came first but it was a rotation of Lego Rock Raiders, Lego Racers, Lego Island 2 and Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Treasure Mountain, when I was like 4

I still play the old TLC games now and then. They're pretty fun, just they get repetitive really fast.

I can't really remember which was first but I think it was Rollercoaster Tycoon or Warcraft 3.
It could also be some random learning game my parents got me lol.

It was for my Mac, an Apple Performa 550.

Marathon. Made by some relative unknown company, Bungie.

So much god damn fun

Spindizzy II its musics are great

My very first one was NFS 3 on my father's PC. Remember playing it during the secondary earthquakes in 1999 here in Athens and getting scared.

Then I used to play 102 Dalmatians at a whoping ~10 fps on my aunt's PC. As a 5-6 year old, it was super helpful having the game run on slow motion...

The first one on my PC was The Sims. It was amazing having such a game as a child. Me and my sister have played the series for hundreds and hundreds of hours

Stunts on the PC of my rich buddy, the graphics plus building tracks and then racing them blew my mind. Also Winter Games was fucking great, loved that ski jumping. I only had played some games on robotrons in school and on an old sinclair zx81 before.

The guy living across the hall from me at Georgia Tech in about '80 had bought an Apple II with a 50hz power supply. He was an electrical engineer and rigged up a new power supply for US grid. All he had was the motherboard and a keyboard, the screen was an old TV. The memory was a regular audio cassette player. He had a game called "Orbital Mechanic" and we played with it quite a bit. It turns out that the paths of objects thrown from one orbit to another are not so intuitive - so it was a real challenge to toss a wrench from Astronaut A in orbit 1, to Astronaut B in orbit 2. That game used WASD for aiming the throw, and when I later began playing PC games, I wondered if that old game might have been the originator of the concept or if it goes even further back.

Wow, a lot of peoples first games were “real” games! My first was definitely one called The Treehouse which was an educational game. If I get to talk about my first “real” game it would either have been DOOM or Commander Keen, I think DOOM though because it arguably would have been easier to grasp the core concept as a child. This was on I think Windows 3.1?

Probably Super Munchers, but possibly Scarab of Ra or The Tinies (I couldn't find a working link for this one, but here's a Youtube video showing the gameplay).

And yes, despite Apple's famous advertising campaign, they make PCs.

First computer game was called head over heels on the amiga, a very long time ago. Never heard anyone ever mention it but it was a brilliant game. Weirdly enough I remembered it looking amazing when I first played it but in reality it was 1 colour and around 32 pixels, I did find a remake on an emulator years later with updated graphics which was lovely to play.

The Lost Vikings in Windows 3.1

The only other games I played before were Super Mario 3 and Battle City in our Family Computer.
The game blew my little 6yr old mind that I can play 3 characters at once!
Though I thoroughly sucked, I liked watching my dad and older siblings play.

It was either Police Quest or the shareware version of Wolf3d. Other than that prolly the Jump Start games

It was either Digger or Paratrooper. Both still hold up.

Populous, and I still consider it one of the best games ever made.

i am prettu sure it was zork 1 but there was also kings quest 3

I don't remember my first PC game but I do remember I was hooked right away. That shit was magical.

probably SimCity 2000
I don't think I understood it at first but I did love messing around in it but overtime I did actually learn how to make a successful city

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Paravia_en_Fiumaccio Played on a TRS-80 Model 2 back around 1983 or so. I enjoyed the game immensely, and started looking for other games to try out. The main result being that this is what got me interested in programming.

I think it was Titus the Fox on a 386 in elementary school. I loved that game, I've played the shit out of it.

I can't remember which game was my actual first, but my grandfather had gotten a PC, probably because my uncle wanted one. It ran DOS and had some games.

It had some games on it I remember:

• Captain Comic https://archive.org/details/MicroCom_394_Captain_Comic
• Alley Cat https://archive.org/details/alley-cat
• Street Rod https://archive.org/details/streetrodse
• Winter Games https://archive.org/details/the_games_winter_challenge_1991
• Ski or Die https://archive.org/details/c64_Ski_or_Die_1990_Electronic_Arts_REU

there were more but I can't remember them all anymore.

1st game I actually played on a PC was some Formula One racing game on a friend's "Schneider PC" ... I laughed at him because the CGA graphics were incredibly crappy compared to my Amiga

My first "real" pc game was Team Fortress 2, before that it was probably Lego Island 2 or some Spongebob flash game.

It was definitely some educational game, I'm quite sure it was "Leer 't lekker zelf", edutainment from the Netherlands. You had to subscribe and you got a new disc every two weeks. I just looked it up and people have actually archived it online.

I think my first PC game was Doom 2. I was little and only ever played it on god mode lol. I still know at least one of the cheat codes.

IDDQD I think it was

First computer was a csx64 8 I still have it but I was so young when I first played a game in it I don't remember... maybe tuk goes to town??
