Leddy Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 "Alone in the Dark" on Windows 3.1 Edit: I mean DOS. But that laptop also had Windows 3.1 on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Frogger. It was on a 286 computer that my dad brought home from work. It took 20 or 30 minutes to load. Ah, that reminds me, the first game I played on the PC was Gorillas. It was a 286 game that I ran from Windows 3.1 where you and another gorilla stood on mountains/skyscrapers etc. and had to throw bananas at each other using velocity etc. and you had to be careful of the windspeed. Fun! There was a cheap Snake game on there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerm Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Loads of 3.1 and DOS games. But Doom was probably my first real game. It was UT 99 that grabbed me though. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
