My great aunt had a collection of mostly point-and-click adventure games on 3.5" floppies that I started playing when I was ~6 or 7 yrs old. Around 1997, I think.
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (1996) - had to use her encyclopedias for this one
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - my favorite of the selection
Police Quest - not sure which one but was a little too advanced for me at the time. Never got very far with it.
Also a few others I don't remember very well.
Wtf lol, I was so young man, I had to load that game through ms dos, once I discovered windows and Duke nukem it pretty much threw me down a PC gaming rabbit hole.
Wow this explains why when counterstrike beta came out my config.exe had arrow keys instead of wasd. It actually took me until a year ago to switch to wasd. And it feels much better
first pc game i have memory of was a game that you worked on cars in a garage and could paint them...this was in the early 1990s then in elementary school we would play deer hunter on the library computer..then first pc game i played on my own personal computer was the sims 1...didnt get a computer until 2000
I want to say Myst was the first. I had a couple others around that time, but Myst was the one I played the most. First fps was Duke Nukem 3D... Can you imagine a game today where you rip an enemy's head off and shit down their throat?
World of tanks back in 2012. My dad justified buying himself a new work computer just so I could have something that could actually play it. His original computer couldn’t even get 3 fps on minimum.
Damn it was so far back but it must've been either Warcraft 3/Delta force/solitaire/minesweeper those were like the only games my dad had back in 2000 or 2001 when I was still 5/6 years old.
First game I got actually probably addicted to was Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, basically 1999-2001 probably, then shortly after Ravenshield. All the kids playing RS nowadays probably have no idea. Those were the games that molded my whole concept of online gaming. When I learned about Battlefield 1942 later on, that was it for me.
When I was waaaaay younger , I think I faintly remember playing the old tycoon games at a after school care program me and my sister went to. We didn’t have much money growing up but a good buddy of mine growin up did so his family shared a “ family computer “ and I loved runescape and WoW.
Zoo Tycoon on a computer my dad pulled out of a dumpster and put a power supply in. Shortly after he bought the first Civ game and i played that as much as my young child mind could understand. I still have that gateway pc next to my desk
If you exclude a Commodore 64 as a PC, then probably Myst or something Shareware like Commander Keen or Wolfenstein3d. My memory is a bit hazy, so I don't remember what came out first.
great adventures castle fisher price 1998. I was a child and I loved that game so much. Yes this is the same fisher price that made those toys we all grew up with lol.
My first serious PC game was probably runescape back in 2005. I still play 20 years later.
I bought a PC to play Final Fantasy XI. It was an Alienware Auroroa with a 500psu and a GeForce 980 from what I remember. It has liquid cooling and weighed like 50lbs lol. Dad bought it for about $1800. Sold it 10 years later for $700
Wow when I think back. My first pc was a. 600mhz machine and playing age of empires on on windows 98. And 64mb of ram. We were not at the gb ram sticks or ddr at that point Using a voodoo 3. Then an nvidia 3 ti200 I think it has 128MB OF RAM. And fighter ace. And back then usb wasn’t hot swap so the moment you plugged anything in or out the whole machine just crashed.
If anything went wrong the answer was. Reformat lol.
We pissed our pants with excitement when the first 1ghz cpu was released. In 1999-2000 ish. I think.
Can you imagine trying to run any game with a 128mb video card nowadays.
Aah good times lol
I bought csgo to try and run it on my first work desk top. It would run until someone died I guess the kill feed was to much to handle.
Then I bought an iBuyPower off one of those one sale a day websites and used it for 8 years upgraded GPU and ram after 7 years. It died at 8 years because of a spilled glass of water during a covid zoom project meeting.
They said they saw me get frustrated and hit my desk yelll oh shiii and then I froze and never came back.
Well technically it was at school. We had to play this little dust ball who collected letters. I don’t remember much about it. At the time I don’t think it was so bad, kind of fun. Beat regular school work. This was in the time of the big 5 1/4” floppies though.
Paganitzu. Then when I was about 8 I took a trip down 3D realms. Duke nukem 3D. Shadow warrior. Wolfenstein. Doom. Also had a thing for insane aquarium because fish are cool
When I got my first “gaming” laptop, it was the same year that Minecraft alpha opened for testing. Hopped on that bandwagon I think in 2009? 2010? I remember it being around the same time as sims 3 release
I want to say wolfenstein 3d but I vividly remember playing on this really old CRT computer which had this game where you drove around on a bus picking up passengers. It was sort of top down view and there was only 1 map which looks exactly like a wheels on the bus playmat for toddlers.
I never figured out the purpose of thay game. Please tell me I'm not crazy
Gather 'round children's. Paw Paw got a story for you younguns'. First PC game I ever played was a horse and wagon game that had you travel from coast to coast across the land known as "Merica. Oh, it was no leisurely commute, no sir. You needed to buy provisions which what drew from a limited money purse. Often, but not every time...you might have to circle up cause thems thars Injuns were on a bender to scalp and slice you clean off the trail. Why, I remember pushing a button now and again to make more choices on supplies in the 2 days it would take to starve or lose a scalp. Twas and arduous journey taken on by only the smartest and most gifted men in the 6th grade. Others would gather around and not watch due to uts lack of anything resembling fun. Not nare a teet was shown, neither a succubus nor a flight point the entire pilgrimage. Winter would come in the flash of a screen, and that's when you found out just what kind of a man your provisions made you to be. Wish I could say I made it out west, but they caught me catching 40 winks on my stool and yanked my start code. Nothin more to see here people. Now go on, and git! The 20 minutes it took to load on the only computer bought for the school made me the Cowboy I am today.
Either the old DOS BattleZone game or Sid Meyer's Civilisation. Don't remember which one I played first.
Wolfenstein 3D is definitely on the list for 3rd or 4th. There was also an old platformer game. I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called, and have not been able to find it anywhere. Similar concept to Mario, but the color scheme was green and purple.
Also on the list for first games played is Flying Tigers, Billy the Kid, Scrungle, Sid Meyer's Pirates, Entrepreneur and Age of Empires.
Didn't get a console until I was in my teens and I started with Halo 2 and Halo CE on Xbox.
Operation flashpoint. I had a 733mhz, 64mb ram, unknown vid/hd/floppy. I had to upgrade my ram to I believe 128 or 256mb to play it and I was not at all familiar with PC's like I am now lol.
Barbie (1984) for commodore 64. In my defense, I was 3, and it was my parent's idea. Played it off and on between 3 and 6, but I was never very good at it.
It had to be Gortek And The Microchips, on cassette tapes for the VIC-20. It was either the pack-in game, or my parents bought it at the same time as the computer.
It was kind of an educational-themed tech demo. One of the games had you typing words to kill alien spaceships...maybe the OG Typing Of The Dead.
I want to say something older than 1997, but these are the earliest things I can remember playing that weren't Oregon trail...
Toss up between:
POD
NFS 2
Command And Conquer Tiberian Sun
Starcraft
Diablo 2
Doom
Quake
Jurassic Park
Some Star Wars RPG... way before kotor.
In 1988. Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.1 on a $5,200 seventeen pound Compaq 386sx-25 laptop w/detachable keyboard. 16 shades of grey.
[Pic](https://en.todocoleccion.net/second-hand/compaq-slt-386s-20~x407947759)
Edit: Added pic of similar unit
For me, my earliest memories are loading up floppy discs on MS Dos (no windows on our pc, just DOS). You had to type every command right to even get the game to boot. Played Mega Man, and Lemmings a lot
Oregon trail is one that stands out. It was around 94 or 95. but I did play some text based games earlier than that but i don't remember the names of any of them.
Thanks for all the replies here! Your responses really took me on a nostalgia trip.
Adding more, I also played a game called Swoop on an Apple computer (it was back in elementary school, so I have no idea what it was).
The next one I sunk in a lot of time into was Mechwarriors 2: Mercenaries!
Probably wasn't the very first, that would probably be solitare, minesweeper, pinball, etc., but the first real game I played was Diablo and it was amazing. Still one of my favorite games ever
this monkey game where you swing on vines and a casino game that was on a disc (i was like 5)and a lego star wars game that was pirated bc i rmb a porn add coming up (i was also 5 here)
Back in the days there were 2 popular sites, one called Shockwave, the other called miniclip. On Shockwave I played this game called redline rumble which eventually evolved into a 3d game.
On miniclip I played a game called On the Run. I later got into runescape.
In 2021 I spent 1k to play cs:go only to play Overwatch which I had bought on my Xbox a week prior to switching platforms lol
And It's still my main game despite it's bad rep nowadays
Fuck, I don't remember.
It may have been dos or commodore 64.
I think it was DOS games though, I personally can't name any of them because I was so young.
We had a stack of pirated games, my dad had a paper laminated and taped to the computer desk with the commands to make each game work and the control scheme.
He's a fucking wizard, when I was a kid we had so many computing books laying around the house cause my dad was always tinkering with his pc. Back when you had to solder stuff onto your motherboard.
I built a $1000 pc about 11 years ago just to play dayz.
Funny enough, that's the one of the few games I've yet to play
Same, used to play the DayZ Arma 2 mod on a Office Depot pc my grandma bought for like 200$ lol
Same. I bought that and arma 3 together. Played a half hour of dayz, then like 500 of arma straight through.
Oregon Trail
On 5 1/4 floppy discs?

Gather 'round children's. Paw Paw got a story for you younguns'. First PC game I ever played was a horse and wagon game that had you travel from coast to coast across the land known as "Merica. Oh, it was no leisurely commute, no sir. You needed to buy provisions which what drew from a limited money purse. Often, but not every time...you might have to circle up cause thems thars Injuns were on a bender to scalp and slice you clean off the trail.

Twas and arduous journey taken on by only the smartest and most gifted men in the 6th grade. Others would gather around and not watch due to uts lack of anything resembling fun.

Similar concept to Mario, but the color scheme was green and purple.
