I found my old game collection from my youth over at my parent's house and I came across the first game I ever played on the PC. It's called Nightmare Ned, it's a kid's game from Disney Interactive that was about adventure and exploring a linear area. Pretty boring, but the music and the environment were the greatest I've seen in a game... tied with Half Life 1 perhaps.

So what was your first game?

I'm sure there areposts in here that havecovered this. I really don't care and I'm too lazy to resurrect them.

Don't remember the names so much, but one I remember was Impossible Mission (not mission impossible) on the Commodore 64.

Very first game I played on a PC was..a old dos game called 'Gorrilaz' you had to calculate angle to throw a banana at a rival gorilla on the other side of the screen , was surprisingly good fun.

It was a split between Space Invaders for the Commodore 64 688 Attack Sub for IBM. That was somewhere in the late 80's when my dad would finally allow me on his pc.

Dark Castle, back in 86 or 87...don't remember exactly when. I know it came out in 86, but don't recall when my parents bought it for me. That was on a Mac, too, but close enough.

Haha yeah, I remember that game. I think it was made in Basic and packaged with DOS. First game I remember playing is Ultima VII: The Black Gate. Such an amazing game.. very detailed, tons of stuff to do. We probably never even got close to finishing it.

If we're talking computers then it was probably Colossal Cave Adventure back on an ancient CP/M machine my father built by hand. I mean built by hand using a soldering iron, not our version of built by hand (plugging a card in). If we're talking about IBM compatible/DOS machines it was probably Zork.

The first game I really remember playing was the original Need for Speed, my Dad got our first computer in 1998 and back then they gave you one or two games when you purchased the PC. It was really fun and I remember spending hours playing it.

If you mean any PC then it would be either Pac Man or Defender on an Atari 800 circa '82. If you mean specifically on a PC compatible it would probably be Sopwith Camel on a 4.77mhz IBM PC early-mid 80s. Edit: Wouldn't you know there would be a YouTube video of Sopwith

Honestly, being a newb at pc gaming, I started with Spore which can run on my three year old laptop on minumum settings, unless you count the old Apple II. I remember playing a detective game in which I had to figure out which criminal commited the crime. That was the last time I played a pc game up until Spore a year ago, then I got my gaming rig and now I'm playing Crysis, but I"m getting off topic.

Some supposedly educational bull**** in school. I don't remember what the name of it was exactly. It's crazy to think about how much computers have changed over the years. I wonder what they'll be like a decade or two from now.
