My first PC game I played was Doom and I was around 4 or 5. I remember I had nightmares of the game, but I kept playing it,lol. My nightmares were these flying skulls on fire and they chased me.
Prince of Persia, the original when I was 8. It was intalled in my school's library and everyone lined up just to play it. I still love the series to this day.

Oh yeah, that was one of my first few also. Loved that game. Kind of hard though.
The farthest memory back I can vividly remember was Commander Keen 4 i was about 3 or 4. That would have been in about 1992 or 1993 some time around then anyway.
There may have been another game a year or so before that, something to do with controling a mouse? Which was the mouse pointer and running away from a cat that chases it, I can only vaugely remember it though.
My mom was an advisor at UIC back in the day, and she would have my brother "watch" me, his main method was to sit me in front of his computer and let me play Wolfenstein 3D, Arena, Daggerfall, and other such games small children should never play.
I'm not sure of the correct terminology here but I was on one of those computers that has all green text and green lines and you had to type in commands to run anything.
I remember a game with a spaceship where I shot at things and I also remember a Pitfall like game, it actually might have been the eary Pitfall, I would grab vines (lines) and jump over scorpions (green squares). I was like 4 or 5.

Monochrome
Monochrome, thank you, that thing was awesome, I remember like my aunt gave it to my family as our first computer. It actually had some REALLY good games packed with it.
Mixed Up Mother Goose. My dad owned a computer shop around the late 80's and early 90's. Played it on an XT with a gold-colored monochrome display. Those were the days.
I can't remember what game I played first, but it was on my brother's Commodore 64. Later when he finally got a PC with DOS, I remember that the first game I played on it was Civilization 1. I was three or four at the time. If you know the Civilization series, you can probably imagine how overly difficult that game would be to a three year old (I didn't even understand a word of English back then lol.) So I grew up being a PC gamer, playing complex and deep games as a kid, and never even thought about consoles. And here I am now, still gaming on PC and never planning to stop. :P
the first PC game i think i played was either a hoover game that came with windows 95... or a indiana jones game (fate of atlantic or last crusade)... my god the indie games for dos where amazing!
the first game i think i actually LOVED was battlezone tho.... the opening movie still gives me the shivers just thinking about it!
My memory's a bit fuzzy but I think my first real pc game I played was one of the Wing Commander games back in like '95/'96 on my dad's old windows '93 comp. Had a joystick and all of that. It was pretty fun.
master of orion.. I'd say I was about 5 I remember thinking there was no way I could play because the next turn button was called "next year," and I thought I had to wait a year to do more things in the game.
im 99% sure it was Command & Conquer when i was about 5. My sister and brother had it.. and was probably my first game ever but my memory is pretty hazey so there could have been other games before that :S
It was probably Space Quest 1 and I was about 8 or 9 years old.
I remember it pretty clearly since it indelibly imprinted the spelling of "machine" in my mind and improved my English spelling in general (obviously a big help if it is not your native tongue).
is the BBC micro a PC or a games console? if were counting that then elite.
on a IBM compatible PC....er...hmm....i remember the game that really got me into PC gaming was freespace. first one i played though.... probably wolfenstein on a friends machine.
First PC game was Wolfenstein 3D. I was about 5 or 6.
Though I have the fondest memories of "4D Stunt/4D Sports Racing" I spent hours and hours building the sickest tracks and racing them as fast and perfect as I could. Amazing game. Played a ton of "4D sports boxing" too, again building and training the wierdest fighters ever.
Mixed up Mother Goose when i was 4, it was a fun game, but I wasnt addicted. The game that got me addicted to video gaming was Diablo, installed it on my computer when i was 6 or 7 (dont remember), the game gave me nightmares, but it was one hell of a game.
My first pc game was i belieave pinball or another game like that. I think i was 6 or 7 not sure though. I played it all night because it was the first time i ever used a computer.
Reader Rabbit probably... and some star wars game with wire frame ships... anyone know the name of that one? lol I think it was also in the arcades... had lots of old games actually...
First game i played on PC was virtual cops, at that time my age was about 13 years.It was the execellentgame where you play as a robot and crush the bad guys.
Wolfenstien 3D on a old as PC forget what it was, but it was Windows 3.1
I guess I was about... 11 maybe younger, I then eventually graduated to Duke Nukem and Doom. Took a break, and came back with a new PC with a voodoo 2 in it, and got Rainbox Six, its been down hill from there.

It's that or Doom 2 can't remember :P and... no wait! the first PAC-MAN!! hmm I'm confused , which one? lol , I was about 6years old:)
Can't recall the earliest, but I did have a small group I played early, including Siege (My Review!), Archon Ultra, Red Lightning (as though I understood what I was doing :P ), and Phantasie III: Wrath of Nikademus. Around age 8 back in '88.
