What was the first PC game that you played?

Cant really remember but its one of these 3: A Bridge to Far, Age of Empires I, or Monster Truck Madness

My first was a F1 racing game. I can't remember the name. But it was way back in 1993.

I forget the name but it was some kind of text adventure,

 Something like this.

You are standing in a cave........

what do what to do? 

Go left 

My first would be Wolfenstein 3D.

That little 2D platformer game with the santa, You could build your level and such.....

Ahhh I can't remember the name :(.

How far back do we go - first computer game was on the ZX Spectrum (Manic Miner , Time Pilot , etc. )

Wolfenstien I think, if not than Dune.

My first game ever was Zombie Ate My Neighbors on the SNES. My first PC game was Outlaw.Captain-Seal

I don't remember how old i was but the first game i played was: Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

I can't remember if it was Wolfenstein 3D or some old 'Red Baron' game.  It was a LONG time ago...  I think I was about 6 years old.tsb247

Now theres a blast from the past - Sun Tzu's aincient art of war - they also had a naval version but the name has faded into the blurry's confines of my memorydragon464

Ancient Art of War at Sea!!! That was even cooler than the original... Ancient Art of War in the Sky was cool as well... I loved the bombing runs!

"Reading all the threads, I must be one of the oldest gamers to still walk the earth . My very first PC game was Digger. Must have been 1983 if my calculations are right. I have played other games before that though (including Pong) but not on a personal computer. I have hardly missed a good title since then ." *Warpld*

I know the feeling... I remember digger (and later dig dug) as well... I started playing PC games around about 1982/83 when I was still very young... you remember those first XT's with the Herculas (and later CGA) monitors?? :)

You had your first PC in 1983???:shock:

You are the oldest guy with a PC that I know. 

You must live in the US, right??? Because I had my first PC in 1996 and in my region there was no one with a PC, I was the only one.

I live in Bulgaria and the computer was at my mother's work :). I got my first PC at home in 1996, too :).

We got our first PC in 1987, (prior to that it was Atari or Pong).  The first two games we had were King's Quest and Jet Fighter.

Damn am I old.

First game I ever played was a great game called "Catacomb" on the Tandy 1000 in my Dad's shop. I was like 6 at the time...took me so long to figure out how to work that thing and play a game. I didn't even know what a game was...just that it was FUN!!! I'm proud that my little 6 year-old self figured DOS out. There was also this great helicopter game that I played with a joystick. The joystick was literally a box...with a stick...and two buttons...good times.jackalv666

I still have a Tandy 1000 and a joystick like the one you mention.  The Tandy 1000 works all right, but unfortunately, the joystick gave up the ghost about five years back.  I occasionally boot up the Tandy to play certain games that I only have on 5 1/2 floppies, like the original Pirates!  Though, to be truthful, I haven't started that computer up in about a year or two.  And yeah, I was a self-taught DOS user at about the same age as you.  I never thought one day I'd be proud of knowing DOS like the back of my hand before I was eight.

Mine is the Ultimate game -AOE 2 (age of empirers)

Its is in 2001 that i  started playing it in a browsing center nearby.

Later its the hightest game that i spent time on till now after q3.

But the AOE3 couln't do that much but still fine enough for its garphics 

Wolfenstein 3D (that first one; from 1993 or something). Back in the day when computers were a rarity xD.norwish

 same. I was 5 yrs old at the time

the first game i have ever played on a pc was this little 2d ski game.

the view is from above and you go down the hill avoiding trees and doing tricks, and eventually a yeti eats you

It's hard to say really.  It would have to be a draw between Q-Bert or Pole Position for the Commodore 64.  I'm going to say as far back as I can remember, it would have to be Q-Bert for the Commodore 64.  Man that game ruled!:D

Those games don't count, it has to be a real game. Because, for example, you can play Tic Tac Toe with the paint program which is stupid.
