What was your first PC game?

[Asian girls lover]

I think Prince of Persia for the DOS system.

Or maybe Zool.

I honestly can't remember because I've got my for PC when I was 6 or 7, with some games.
There were also Arkanoid, Space Invaders and other old games

 

[Graw]

I can't remember exactly which one was first but it would have been one of these three.

 

[Mr. Daddy]

Warlords II. I spent way, way too much time playing this game.​

 

[ThatOneLum]

Most of my earliest pc gaming experiences were my dad's shareware dos disks, so I played the first few levels of everything from Lemmings to Duke Nukem.

Probably the strongest memories from the era are Commander Keen 4, Loom/Monkey Island and Jazz Jackrabbit. Some truly awesome gaming experiences to this day in that little bundle.

 

[SpikeSlania]

I know it was a dos game. I want to say Commander Keen. But I also have faint memories of some Mickey Mouse game that had like a huge booklet of different pictures for it's anti piracy measure. Can't remember anything else about that game other than the book you had to use before you could access the game.

 

[Kamako]

It was one of 3 MS-DOS games on my Step-Dad's PC running Windows 95.

Batman: The Caped Crusader

Wiz-Ball

Or DUKE3D, which is also the first game I ever figured out how to mount myself.

 

[Nidstang]

As a young kid probably like some Jumpstart game, or a Power Rangers CDROM game, or Pajama Sam.

But like a real game that I recall playing regularly, I think Warcraft 3

 

[OmegaPunch's iconOmegaPunch]

Can't remember exactly , but It was either Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2005 or Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

 

[shoebby]

I extremely vividly remember it being Ollo in the Sunny Valley Fair, game of the century contender if I'm honest

 

[micheI]

Diablo II and Serious Sam: TFE.

 

[Kremiso]

gorilla.bas at school :)

 

[_oBSOLEte_]

gorilla.bas at school :)

After 30+ years TIL there was colors in that game...

 

[AkiraSO4]

If we're talking way back, Chip's Challenge.

If we're talking Steam, Resident Evil 5.

Thanks to this site I got to find the first PC game I had

I had a floppy disc with a demo that only had one table but we played it a ton. I believe it was from Blockbuster but not sure. Back in those days we had Windows 3.1 and didnt have too many games for it.

 

[BunnyLain]

I want to say total annihilation? But this is going so far back to an era I didn't really care for because the PC was for the whole family and I really liked super nintendo! There was some other RTS which I can't remember the name of, but you could take control of the units and also customize them, so you had like cars with guns on top that you could go into FPS with. I remember not liking it much.

A lot of my experience with PC games was playing them on friends computers.

 

[UntoldLegend13]

Some Edjutainment games I can't remember, and eGames Galaxy of games, which I tried to revisit a while ago, but it turns out they had adware in their installers.
Speedy Eggbert was the most memorable though, and it's now freeware (and without adware).

 

[marky]

It took me a while to remember the titles, as these were not some popular games. Today, they are very much forgotten.

Grouch (aka Rocko's Quest in North America)

and Sno-Cross Extreme (aka Sno-Cross Championship Racing in Europe, but i can't find any european box art)

 

[OPT1MUS]

Dylan Dog - La Regina Delle Tenebre (The Queen Of Darkness) on MS-DOS

 

[TotzOnGaming]

Back in the day my Aunt had a BenQ PC with Win 98'
The ones I remember that were installed there were,
Battle Realms
Virtua Cop 2
Virtua Fighter 2
Hanggaroo
Sega Manx TT Superbike
FX Fighter

 

[sysuah]

Maybe Road Rash and Vice City, and some point and click game i genuinely cant find anything on

 

[kuroninneko]

Anyone play this game? I remember installing it on all the computers in the school and everyone was playing it

 

[Shihainin]

Good ol Red Alert 2. I then fell in love with the series forever and ever.

 

[longestseason]

Assuming pre-installed demos don't count, I would say my first game on PC was this Discovery channel game that came with a Nesquik cereal box.

[IamtheWalrus]

Stay Tooned! (1996)
I lost track how many times I actually played this game as a kid in the 90s, even so in the 2000s, though I think I stopped after the new computer had Windows XP.

 

[TamagotchiTamaHero24]

I’m so sorry.

Pretty sure we got it as a hand me down. Otherwise, I have no clue how we got it.
