What was your first PC game?

Commander Keen

Specifically Commander Keen IV - I think my dad got it as shareware.

Notable mention though (it may have been around the same time or before) to Rescue Rover.

My father and my brother claim we played Diablo 1 when I was very little. Haven't got any memories of that so let's say my first PC game was GTA San Andreas which is the one I do remember being first.

My first PC game… (you’re probably going to laugh) was Disney’s Winnie the Pooh: Tigger’s Honey Hunt. To put things into context, the CD-ROM came with the PC (a Packard Bell), because back then, when you bought a computer, it often came with several software and game CDs. That was the case for me, and the first CD I ever inserted happened to be this Disney game.

I like the honesty! Also, lots of people are really fond of the edutainment games they played as children. No shame there dude!

prince of persia
could I beat the first guard?
did I play the first level up until the first guard bazillion times?
was I in awe of my aunt's mad esport skillz seeing her play a later level with MULTIPLE guards?
nobody will ever know...

I scrolled thorugh the messages to find the first occurence of this. I think it was page two.
I share the same, Prince of Persia.
Was fascinated. Went to my mother's workplace where they had some 386's or something. Offcourse my mother had to do some stuff and left me at a computer and someone presented me with the ultimate cheat code to get to a game. I remember it now, written on a notepad:

CD games
CD prince
prince

that's what I had to type to play it. And when that sound came up, with that amazing graphics.... Oh man...

Played the game for 8 hours straight, I don't remember when my mother came back, I remember I finished it right before she took me home.

Some random games I can't remember in a computer class in school long before I ever owned my own PC. One of them might have been a Carmen Sandiego game.

It was an old game called Total Annihilation. Very fun building and real time strategy game. Was more of a futuristic Civilization game, but so much better IMO.

First PC game was probably one of these:

Frankie was the OG. My little bro and I were absolute beasts on that cafeteria mini game. I learned some reading on it, which was cool. Didn't teach me any math though, 'cause I always got filtered in all of the math games, lmao. Those damn math caps were always out of reach for me.
We played this so much that we still meme about it 25 years later. It came with an activity book you could do over summer break.

When this one came out we thought it was the coolest thing. Doing tricks and getting all the fireworks was a great time. I also loved building my own tracks.
