The games that started off PC gaming for you?

I'm 22 in 2 days (ZOMG!1!). The first ever games that hooked me up to PC games were the original Half Life, Starcraft and Microsoft MonsterTruck. Was 10 years ago. All ran perfectly on my P2 350Mhz, 64Mb PC100 SDRAM & Nvidia TNT2 32mb.

Frontier Elite, Flashback, Sensible World of Soccer on the Amiga 500. What a happy existance that was back then!

Edinho · 7 Dec 2007 at 19:40

My mates commodore 64 was about 1984 I was 12. Daley Thompson's Decathlon we played it for days, my fingers are still numb, and International Soccer on a ROM cartridge ahhhhh the days :cool:

Went on to own one myself, then an AtariST. Had a long period where I went without anything from about 1990 to 1996 was at Uni and women & beer were higher on the agenda.

Got a PS got back into it then got a gaming PC in 1999. Was Gateway P3 450 MHz, 64 MB RAM, a Voodoo 3 3000 (best card I've ever had). £1200 :eek:

The game that really got things rolling was MOHAA mp. Thought I was in heaven.
