MM2 was better - very fun games - of couse, that was before I'd been introduced to GTA the game u said is of ages, but now or evn then it was not of that much of craz
I'll have to say my first was probably this stupid game called Pegs, move around in a bulldozer matching up specific colors and shapes. It was a problem-solver, not a kids game...so at 3 years old, I could only get through the first 20 levels or so.
Not certain but I think it was NIbbles, a QuickBasic game that came with DOS where you controled a constantly moving snake that grow longer as you ate things. Very fun game for its time. Before that my first computer (not IBM-compatible) game was something with trolls and spelling. I think I was about 9 but I grew up playing Atari before that.
Well I first started gaming with Sega Genesis so I wasn't much interested in PC gaming. However a year later, my cousin got a brand new computer. I was so excited to play with his new PC. The first game we ever installed and play was the orirginal IGI. Those were fun times. Couple of months later I got my own computer and the first game I ever installed and played was Red Alert 2. A classical RTS game that it's hard to forget. Good times.

QBasic was my life - I used to make a ton of crappy arcade games with that language - wasn't nibbles the game you could open up and see the source?
The first game I played on a PC didn't have a name, it was programmed by a friend of my dad's. You had to shoot a * at a > travelling across the screen. The guy that programmed it was upset that a 5 yo smashed his score. That was back in about 1980.
The first game I played on a IBM compatible PC was around 85, called "Jump Joe". Man that was a cool game. I loved that until "Alley Cat" came out. :)
If you can't remember paying $50 for a game that fit onto a 360kB disk, you are teh n00b. :D
I must be old, cause it was Police Quest I by Sierra, on an Amber monitor. That's right Amber, this was before color monitors even came out...
Those police quest games were great...

I loved all of the "Quest" games. I still remember the day I finished "Police Quest", man that was a good day. Never did finish "Space Quest" though, there was a cave with a laser beam across the walkway that I could never get past. :(
The first game I played was educational software on a Tandy computer, 'Kids on Keys.' If we're looking for real games, same computer but Wheel of Fortune. Argh, that's ages ago.
The first PC game I actually remember playing was Redneck Rampage. You just go around shooting aliens then at the end of the levels you whip a fat fellow named Bubba.
I might have been Commander Keen. Before getting a pc we had a zx spectrum, I played jet set willy, Manic miner and a moon lander game on that.Harbadakus
woo! Commander Keen! I played and beat every one! Though that wasn't the first CP game I ever played... I would have to say my first PC game that I remeber playing was either "Hammer of Thunder" or "Bookworm", I was a little kid with DOS. YAY!

The first game I played for a personal computer woulda been... a Space Invaders clone (I think called 'Aliens') when I was wee for the Kaypro II+ in, like, '82 or something. The machine ran on CP/M DOS with no graphics - only ascii characters. Good times.
The first game I played for an IBM-compatible was, I think, Warlords at a friend's, followed by Eye of the Beholder II once I got my own computer.
Tribes 1 was one of my first! It hooked me so bad. And then Arcanum solidified what a PC can bring in terms of depth over any console game (except final fantasy, in my mind, at that time), and almost every other PC game, for that matter :p. Air Warrior 3! That was fun. Those were my first ones, at least, I don't remember much from back then.. I do remember, however, that I didn't even like or want to play Arcanum much at first, and now I'm like.. Begging anyone to make anything even close to that amazingly good and deep on so many levels, but I am probably just overhyping it in my own mind and such a feat is impossible, since Planescape Torment was probably even better of a game, but I don't feel like it was.
