Pharaoh and Runescape.

I still immensely enjoy playing Pharaoh, I wish they'd remaster it.

Ultima Underworld 2 - still one of my favourite games. Took me years to complete.

Unreal Tournament 99, although our family pc at the time could hardly handle it.

Theme Park was the first game I played on PC. I had it on my Amiga 1200 but the PC version had more rides and looked better so I ran it on my dads 486DX2/66 machine and didn't look back

Delta force 1 got me into pc gaming followed by Delta force land warrior (3) which got me into dial up online gaming and my first team based gaming
medal of honor allied assault was the one that really got me into online gaming once i got 1mb broadband

A friend had a PC with Project IGI and Solider of Fortune 2 installed, went round his house a lot and got hooked! When I got my own PC we played the Joint ops games together, then he bought a console

Q3 arena, played it at a mates house.. made me feel slightly sick it was so smooth compared to my playstation 1

Transport Tycoon was the first PC game I played.
Until WoW, the most hours I have put into a game would have to be Duke 3D and making maps. Shame I lost them all though :/

I think Simcity 2000 was one of the first I played after the original on the Amiga but X-Wing and Tie Fighter were probably the real Wow! moments for me on the PC.

1988

Amiga

F/A-18 Interceptor

I have a very vivid memory of my dad on xmas day showing me how to use the mouse to launch the game. I was hooked from then on.
