The games that started off PC gaming for you?

I'm 20, the first game I can remember playing was Monkey Island. I also think a game called Ruff n Tumble (I think thats the name, I'm not sure).

Also remember play Populous: The Beginning which I was addicted to.

"
The first seeds of the company that would one day become Rare were sown way back in the late 1970s, amidst a clutter of arcade boards in a terraced house in Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire. Momentum was building for the first great home gaming boom of the early 80s, and Tim and Chris Stamper were determined to be ready for it. Thus was Ultimate - Play The Game born.
Ultimate was to attain a near-legendary status in the 8-bit world during its relatively brief existence, kicking off with the launch of Jetpac on its platform of choice, the Sinclair Spectrum, in the summer of 1983."

OUCH 1983! :|

Fold up sniper rifle in SIN was awesome!
