PC Gaming

I think it was StarGoose from the 80s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Goose

My brothers are about 10 years older than me, and we had computers from the mid-80s due to dad's work, so I would've seen my first game probably before I could talk!
The earliest games I remember playing are Digger, Moonbugs and other CGA/EGA era stuff. This would've been around 1990 or so.

On disc?

I think the Hercules PC game.

I remember it to be really fun and addicting

The first game that really stuck with me was Warcraft II. I remember my babysitter brought over a bunch of games and installed them on our Windows 95/DOS PC.
He installed a few other games too: Deer Hunter, Loderunner, Quake (only my Dad could play that), Sim Town + Some game demos, and some journal game I don't remember the name of. WC2 is the one I played the most for sure though.
I remember playing the campaign over and over with cheats, but the godmode cheat didn't work against magic, so it was dang near impossible for me to beat the last level. The level editor blew me away too, I would spend so much time in it just setting up large unbalanced scenarios to destroy the NPCs.

My families first PC was a Packard Bell, first game I played was Age of Empires. Damn just trying to remember the timeline of things and what I did and when has made me remember alot of stuff.

Times were simpler back then eh.

I suspect the first game I ever played on PC was 'Ally Cat' in CGA, it was awful. The first game I bought on PC was either UMS or Carrier Command, I was a big fan of Rainbird's software back then.

My first PC game was Portal 2 iirc. I was ~10 at the time and it really opened my eyes to the wide world of PC gaming, and the different types of games that were on PC compared to console. It also slowly got me started and eventually transitioning from Controller to Keyboard and Mouse as my preferred input scheme.

The one I remember being one of the first PC games was The Adventures of Captain Comic. I also remember the first game I played with a sound blaster card instead of PC Speaker was Blues Brothers Jukebox Adventures.

It was like 2006 or 2007 and my Dad had an old Win98 pc he gave me, and I pirated Quake 2 because I always wanted to try mouse and keyboard in an fps. 2 years later I started mowing lawns to save up for a real rig and bought Left 4 Dead.

Couldn't tell you which came first, but the earliest games I remember were RollerCoaster Tycoon, Tonka Construction, and Treasure MathStorm. Little me was a fool, RT was the one I played the least.

Preinstalled games from Sierra Interactive on my dad's Windows 95 first one was called Torrin's Passage. It was a click through animated explore / puzzle adventure. I've yet to meet another stranger on the internet whose played it. Also Mech Warrior 2 came installed but I wasn't allowed to play it until a few years later.

Rats on a #Zx81 an 8 bit machine with a 'touch' sensitive keyboard. It ran a chess game in it's 1k memory. I then got a 16k memory pack that meant it could play rats. A maze game. Oh, I just remembered, it had a fast mode where it switched the screen off to save processing power while it was thinking.
#computer

Counter Strike 1.3 :)

The first game I bought with my own money for my PC was either "JetFighter III", "Master of Orion 2" or "Super EF-2000". The first PC game I played? It was probably "Galactic Conqueror" by Titus Games, though I'm not sure. It definitely was a game by Titus, as I remember the fox. Then it was either Microprose F-19 Stealth Fighter, Civilzation 1 or F-117 Stealth Fighter 2.0 (there's a good chance I played F-19 on an Amiga, not a PC). I should also mention Wing Commander 1 as a possibility; my friend even bought the speech pack back then.

Ah, obviously the first games I played, are the reason why I like complex games and I also have programmed primitive small games inspired by them.
