What was your first PC game?

[leoflannel]

Mine was Space Cadet Pinball

 

[Cheeks]

It had to have been Captain Comic.

 

[Ezri_Muldoon]

Activision's Asteroids, 1998, it was probably my first ever video game.
I didn't own a Megadrive until 2000, PS2 in 2003.

This intro will always be oddly nostalgic.

 

[stealthRUSH stealthRUSH]

honestly I don't remember it could have been Pitfall II: Lost Caverns but I know it was on floppy disk.

 

[TechBlisSTer]

Indianapolis 500: The Simulation was the first game I ever played on an IBM Compatible. It was on a custom built 386.

 

[Viyon]

I was 4 and my father had Prince of Persia (MS-DOS), I remember it was so scary but intriguing, one wrong movement and you'd die, I started to hate it pretty soon and I never even actually completed the game to this day, I may have not even went past level 2...

Lemonade Stand on the mighty Apple IIc early 1980s

NOOO I GOT CONSCIOUSNESS AND I HAVEN'T PLAYED ANY PC GAMES YET. GET ME OUT OF HEAVEN NOWView attachment 65545

THANK YOU INVENTORS OF CLOUDGAMING FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO PLAY TEARDOWN AND RESIDENT EVIL 4

 

[HarmonieGirl]

Hm... I played multiple old games like Oregon Trail when I was younger. I don't remember much of those. First game I really remember having to have on PC is The Sims 1 + Expansion Packs, though. And the PC game that really turned me toward preferring PC gaming over others is FFXIV - which is so much better to play on PC than PS4.

 

[NobodyHere]

I recently replayed some ‘puzzle bots’ - one of the first games I actually finished - I was shocked how much I remembered
Felt just like that scene from Ratatouille

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

I think it was either DooM or Decent (shareware ofc) that was inside the Windows 95 Mitac my father got for the family.

He liked DooM so I think it was probably that one, but I remember loving Descent and playing a lot of it (tho I never finished it)

 

[JellyjamLu]

GTA 3 for moi, still pop it on sometimes, for me it has the best atmosphere in any GTA game to date.

 

[Husky]

Commander Keen for me. I used to watch my Dad play Alone in the Dark too back in the day.

 

[NOTthatHARD]

Fallout 3.

 

[shaggi shaggi]

This is my very first game played on PC with Windows 98.

There is another game, if we count non-windows computer called Amiga.

 

[DikeMavis]

First PC game was a pack-in with my parents computer called Total Annihilation. Was my introduction to PC games and RTS games and it was awesome one...went on to play starcraft and warcraft because of it

Yooo I remember playing this for hours i always had trouble with the ice platforms as a kid.

 

[FateLanegod]

I guess it was original Worms, my neighbour play mate secretly showed it to me on his father’s PC. And that was probably the first time I have seen real ‘computer’.

 

[Guinea]

It was either Roller Coaster Tycoon or Dragons Lair.

 

[Derealized]

Commander Keen for me. I used to watch my Dad play Alone in the Dark too back in the day.

I remember playing that game for the first time when I was around 12. Makes me glad that I grew up as more of a PC gamer, a lot of people were late to learn of games like that. Most of the games I had back then were copies or shareware games. Had to order the best games through the mail unless you knew some real weebs to share copies with. I was lucky.

 

[Ognimod]

I don't remember, but it's between Disney's Aladdin, Doom II, Peter Pan: A Story Painting Adventure (came in a CD with the first Eagle Eye Mysteries), or Beauty and the Beast. We had Windows 3.1 at home, but MS-DOS games were still a thing. This was all circa 1994 going on 1995.

 

[Jdan-S]

Could've been Skifree on Windows 3.1 or the shareware version of Jazz Jackrabbit. I also remember playing Commander Keen 4, Hugo III Jungle of Doom, and Hocus Pocus at the time.

 

[Badseed Badseed]

Adventure Construction Set Apple IIc Around 1984. It was RPG maker years before that game.

 

[Nilla Nilla]

The Lion King on the SEGA Genesis but I've never beat it.
