Come forward and tell us! :D
Mine was Nightmare Creatures, played it circa 2000, Acer PC Intel Celeron 433Mhz, 64Mb RAM (?). Might not be a great game but I really enjoyed it.

And... Minesweeper/Solitaire/Hearts/Freecell.

Also I remember some weird game where you entered choices and if you picked the wrong pill during your choices, it was hormones which turned you into a woman and died - super weird.

MS Pinball, Command & Conquer, Total Annihilation, Civilisation III, Halflife/TF/CS, Sim City 2000, Duke Nukem 3D, Age of Empires, etc - all of these were great too, but this didn't come until later.

Now, my first game...  I remember in primary school there was a very old computer there with this stupid game about a talking apple.. and you would tell the apple to do tricks and then it would do them...

If you are being technical and literally mean a PC, then Tetris on an IBM 8086.

I have an amusement park, so I grew up on arcades. Can't surely remember which game was first, but I do remember playing Donkey Kong before starting elementary school.
[Image: 0922.png]
and a large number of other arcades, the list would be too long to type.
As for the first computer, I had a c64 with a box of tapes, there's like a stefilion games there, just take your pick.
I still have a fondness for shmups, pinball and table football =D
Later on when I got a hold of a PC it was probably Duke Nukem 3D.
(yeah, I'm old ^^)

I... Don't remember ;~;

I'm sure I played some games on DOS here and there, but when I was young I almost exclusively played on SNES and N64. I didn't really get into computers much at all until late middle school / early high school, and that includes PC games.

As a consolation prize, though, I do still own this (Unfortunately, I only have disks 2 through 5): [Image: wWN7jqD.jpg]

I do have an older game on 3.5" floppy from 1985, but I never played that one, and I have played Tie Fighter. (I'm pretty sure I played Tie Fighter later on though, not close to the first games I played on PC)

It was either some video game on n64/snes or teenage muta ninja turtles on the sega genisis or some educational pc game for kids.

But i do remember in elementary school every power mac had marble blast gold installed on it:

Either MS Pinball or Tetris. Then the stuff on coolmath-games and in 2008 I decided to play [Image: 20110522203113!Loading_title_screen.png]
That was title screen it had at the time.
The same year or the year after I then played AC and I can remember making (or it might just have been thinking of making) a thread on this forum where I thanked the community for being so much nicer than RuneScape's.
