First PC games?

[Digital X]

@stew, Network Q RAC Rally was mine too! I had a wheel setup and everything. That and Little Big Adventure. I had NO idea what I was doing.. I have those on DOS now.

 

[SirJinks]

I think mine was Gunship 2000

Monkey Island and then later, LeChuck's Revenge. They still remain my two favourite games of all time.

Monkey Island

Had it on the superior Amiga Many Saturday nights spent playing as a kid. Couldn't figure out have to save the game though so had to start from scratch every time

 

[EGuitarStar]

Solitaire.

Really can't remember but original Doom probably.

 

[Zethor]

Prince of Persia. Still hate the fat guards.

Links Golf 1997, think it was the first on Windows so my dad snapped it up.

I got into PC gaming reasonably late after being a console player - the first games I bought back in 99 were Command and Conquer (the first one), Total Annihilation, and Duke Nukem

 

[StrongSad]

first games bought from the spectrum were probably a weird adventure game with dr who, the hobbit adventure game then Manic minor, jet set willy, tomahawk, lunar jet man, F15, pleasure dome (odd game) Elite,

 

[ANDARIAL]

Tomb Raider 2 and UT on PC
Probably some form of text based adventure game on Vic 20,maybe Zork?

If you mean a "personal computer" then that was Network Q RAC Rally, but in terms of a "computer console" then Pirates on the Commodore 16.

Quake 3 Arena for many many hours...

 

[new boy]

cs 1.6

Depends which pc you mean ? if the start of amd and intel based then my first game I played on an amd was ultimate soccer manager around 1998/99

First pc game technically was some generic racing game on the spectrum zx81 at school then castle quest and daredevil dennis on the bbc micro computer, loved those two games.

Fondly remember playing Commander Keen and Secret Agent on my aunt's PC when I was four or five.

I bought Commander Keen on Steam recently, it's bloody rock solid!

 

[foxyfaefife]

Also who could forget Star Wars Chess (1993)?

 

[Scougar]

Early games that I remember:

Utopia <-- I liked the music in this so much that I had it at my wedding (Canon in g)
Supremacy

^^^ Both fantastic.

(and as above, there was a chess game where pieces would eat or hack each other, not starwars though).

Commander Keen
Wolfenstein3D (And I think the 2D version as well.. can't remember).

Anyone else remember this classic?
