call_of_duty_10

probally Number Munchers and Oregon Trail when i was in elementary in like 1990

I played a lot of adventure games as a little kiddo.

 

Quest for Glory 3 to 6 (I *loved* these games), Kings Quest games,  Space Quest games, Carmen Santiago, Tales of Monkey Island, Myst, Legends of Kyrandia...but PROBABLY THE EARLIEST is this game which I recently found online and have been playing...

 

 

MANIAC MANSION! I still remember being a kid and getting freaked out when Edna or one of the others caught me in the mansion. 

 

what were yours?

 

p.s. What ever happened to Sierra?

kinda embarrassing but here we go: Disney's Hercules

II-Siamak-II

Nothing embarassing about that, I really enjoyed playing that game as a kid, even other Disney movie games like Tarzan and Aladdin.

Starcraft, some Captain Crunch game that came with the cereal, and Amazon Trail. 

I believe the first PC game I was playing was Simcity (the real simcity, not the sh!tty new one), also I'm pretty sure that was about when I first saw Wing Commander which almost made me sh!t myself at the time for how friggin awesome it was!

Bump N Jump on commodore 64! so fun!

i bet most people in here have never seen one of the 5" flippy disc you had to load it from :)

Trophy Bass I believe. I remember you had to reel in fish by moving the mouse in circles, I broke a couple of ball mice playing the game. 

Red Alert is another one, I think Trophy Bass came first though.

commander keen and wolfenstein 3d. i remember sitting on my father's lap when he was playing wolf 3d and he would move while i pressed ctrl to shoot them damned dogs. top notch coop action right there.

It was some kind of Space Invaders, played it on an Atari console with my dad and cousin when I was like 4 or 5 (I was terrible!). On ZX Spectrum I remember playing Chronos, and much later on Sega Mega Drive II I played Sonic 2 and Mortal Combat 3. Yea what an old fart I am :P

EDIT: missed the "PC" in the title. MY first PC game was Prince of Persia, at least I think that's the name.

Grand Prix Cricuit is probably the first PC game I have ever played. This game was made by Accolade way back in 1987, I was playing this game on the 286 my dad got during that time. The graphics at the time were very good and I enjoyed playing this game.

castle wolfenstien, some astrological game, street fighter or fighting street whatever, golf game and the most terrifying of all....Ski free.....

Space Quest
Damn I spent so much time on this game but I loved it so much! The graphics, the first time you get your own ship, the space advanture...
I was like :O the whole time

First PC games I remember playing are Starcraft, Unreal, and a bunch of Half Life mods. Before that I only remember playing Gameboy :lol:

Just on a side note. Is anyone else getting the "damn, I'm old" feeling from this thread, even though you might not even be "that" old? :D Getting all sorts of flash backs from games that I hadn't even thought about in years.S4E

Yes, I am. :(

The problem is, I probably am 'that old'. :/

Either Loom or The Secret of Monkey Island.

educational games

Some adventure game. Probably Oregon Trail or Pajama Sam. First real games were either Earth 2140 or Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Edit: Scratch that. My first PC game wasnt a PC game but a Mac game called Crystal Quest and after that some Xmen game and along with that some 5.6" disc flight sim featuring Chuck Yeiger. lol Thats something else...

Tie Fighter

still has a better UI than most games :|

For PC it was probably a game called Warlords somewhere around 1989 on a 386sx. Best description I can think of would be the spiritual predecessor of Heroes of Might and Magic.

Tombstone City in 1981 on one of those old Texas Instruments computers.
