shihchiun Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 My first PC game (first electronic game ever) was some version of Tetris in the early mid-1990s. I'm pretty sure this was before Windows 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lnmnky Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 First Pc game I played was probably HL:uplink teaser from a PC zone disk. I played it on my dad's work laptop in software render mode. And even then it got me totally hooked ever since on FPS. I was an Atari ST man back in my early teens, so used to play Starquake, Bombjack and Test drive alot.

Miuku. Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 On PCs.. Nethack :D On other machines, Radar Rat Race some ~22-23 odd years ago was prolly the first "real game". Had a few video "console" style machines before that but they weren't real comps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Ride Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) A few days after I bought my PC (3-4 years ago), I went off and bought: * Soul Reaver 2 - Awesome game ! * Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 - Still the best in the series. * Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos - The fact that I still play this game says enough. My first ever video game was Super Mario Bros. 3 Edited November 30, 2005 by Dark Ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 pre-windows era - some Flight Simulator game, written in BASIC or something...you were a little white line on a black screen. It was dumb Windows era - Solitaire. But the first game I bought for Windows and played was Quake 2. I still love that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oompa Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 My old computer ran ME and couldn't even run CS 1.6 which convinced me to upgrade and when I picked up my final peice of my computer I also picked up Battlefield 1942 which was the first game I played :).

danananakroyd Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Doom or Duke Nukem. I remember playing a bunch of games when i was about 7. I had this CD with like 500 games on it or something. Chip's Challenge and Wolfenstein 3D, stuff like that. I was probably a bit young to be playing them, but it's not like i go around shooting Nazis.

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted December 1, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2005 Short Answer: I always had an interest in PC Gaming, because I had a huge interest in gaming overall ever since the Atari, but truly the main game that turned me into the die hard PC gamer that I am now is Soldier Of Fortune 2: Double Helix. Long Answer: If I adhere to the Subject title and the Forum we are in, technically the first game I ever played on my PC, meaning the first Windows Computer I ever personally owned, as I said above it is the game that officially got me hooked on Windows based gaming and made me run out a buy my first graphics card the very same day I purchased it as my comp could barely run it, and that also made me about 6 months later decided to build my own gaming based comp, and as I said that is Soldier Of Fortune 2:Double Helix. But here is where it gets a little fuzzy, I have been using Macs for close to 7 or 8 years now, so even though I am pretty sure I did not play it right when it came out, I do definitely recall playing Marathon on my Mac, although I definitely do not think I finished it and or was at that point officially "hooked." I can say though the first game I ever played on my Mac "officially," meaning played it from beginning to end, was Max Payne. But Now it gets even fuzzier, because one of my best friends growing up, him and his dad where heavily into computer gaming while I was in high school and college, which was from 88-96, and his house was the house we all hung out at every day during the summer all through college as well, and although we mostly played PS1, N64, Genesis, Dreamcast, ETC. we all had access to the computer as well and would all take turns. So back then, I remember the first game I ever played was Doom. I also remember playing Star Wars Dark Forces, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter, & Myst.

mAcOdIn Veteran Posted December 1, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2005 Master of Orion, and that game is still one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tran Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 The first computer game I played on a computer was Bolo or Lemmings - I forgot which one - on a Mac. The first game I played on my computer - being my dad's laptop - was Outlaw, some old, western-style, FPS. I'm not even sure if "Outlaw" was the proper name, but that's what I remember.
