FIFA Road to World Cup 1998. Released Sept 1997. Price of £29.97. From Toys R Us. I am very surprised I can even remember all that. For the PC as well.

Can't remember exactly, but it was either C&C:Red Alert, GTA, Quake 3 or Half Life. Back when PC games all came in explicably gigantic boxes for some reason.

Pretty sure mine was Half-Life Generation (the big black box) that came with Half-Life, Opposing Force and Counter-Strike.

Think it was UFO: Enemy Unknown.

It gets a bit hazy since I had a bunch of games from around that time for the Amiga that I got again for PC when I got it. Considering how bad I suck at the remake I have no idea how 10 year old me finished that game.

Was C&C:Red alert, thats assuming we dont count Amigas as pcs, otherwise it would be Worms.

GTA 5 so i could have it on steam, then Fallout 4, the only games i've ever paid full price for!

X-Com Apocalypse. Loved it, always get tempted to play it again, probably 8 years since my last play through.

I had this and the desert storm expansion disk. But I don't think this was my first game. I think it was microprose F15 II. Probably around 1989 or so. Then Fleet Defender.

First PC was 486 33dx. Used it mainly for Practising Cad & Rendering.

Championship manager 2 - the whole reason I bought a PC. Played the original on the Amiga and was instantly addicted. I was 18 when CM2 came out and had been at work for about 6 months. Managed to save a few quid and went into Dixons on the day the game came out and bought a Packard bell PC and CM2.

Hard to remember, probably Another World or Prince of Persia (although I think that might have come with the pc)

picktooth · 27 Sep 2015 at 11:31
