I'm 15.

Been playing PC games for 4 years now, and I started with Civilization III.

I now most frequently play Oblivion, SupCom, and Halo 1.(finishing up Legendary mode.)

22. Been gaming since I was 12.Drizzt13

Drizzt13 that photo in your sig makes no sense. It should read "You are just like Link from that classic..." Because it was Link, not Zelda, that "dress[es] like a Hobbit" and "get[s] the hot chick".

im 21,

my first pc was a 286, without a maths co prosessor, 512 kilobytes of ram, a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk drive and an ega monitor.

before that i had a zx spectrum and briefly a comodor 64,

19.

First started, I guess on an MSDOS set up with games like Death Track and Gremlins :P

Wow you guys claim to have hte first PC's and i had an older one when i was just a kid and im only 20. Had DOS then windows 3.1 first computer game i played was a qbasic game where it was 2 gorillas throwing a banana.

"I have a neural net processor, a learning computer."

Hehe. The first 'PC' I used was a BBC Micro, then an Apple II, and got to try an Apple Mac when they first came. The first games I remember playing were text-based RPG style, like this:

You are in a dark room with four walls and a door to the West.

> go west

You are facing a stout iron door.

>open door

You need a key to open this door.

:D Good times.

28 here. Started with the King's Quest and Quest for Glory series, along with Aces of the Pacific, the original Civilization, and Wolfenstein. There might have been a little Leisure Suit Larry in there too.

I thought we were sticking to IBM/DOS based. Well, OK, I could go back to my Commadore 64 days, if we must. Back then, it was Hitchhiker's Guide (text), Shogun, and Impossible Mission, to name a few.

If we can count non PC computers, I had a Texas Instruments TI-99A when I was around 8 years old and my dad bought Parsec for that computer. You can check it out here:

Damn, I forgot about Hitchhiker's Guide. Vaguely remember that being a good game.

The first IBM/DOS based PC I remember using was an 8086 with 640k of RAM and a single 5.25" floppy drive. It had an orange screen (as opposed to the usual green). :)

Remember playing Sopwith in all it's 4 colour glory on a CGA monitor?

God, I feel old. :/

Bunch of Kids..i'm 61 and proud to be a pc gamer.:shock:ttomm1946

Was born the year pong came out. Coincidentally, it was also my first game (in 76)

As for PC's - I was a Commodore kid.
Moved to PC's in about 1992 with a 386 and have just upgraded from there.

im 31...I started with the Atari 2600...started programming basic at the age of 9 and Fortran at the age of 11.
