Ummm, 1995 or 1996? All I remember is that Warcraft I and Doom 2 were the first PC games I owned.

I believe it was in 95 playing Doom 2. Slowly started playing more and more pc games. I've always been a mix between a PC and Console gamer, but I've always had a thing for PC.

I started in 1996 when I was 3. My first games were Commander Keen and all things Apogee. I had this disk loaded with freeware and shareware "House of Games". Anyone else have that red disk that you booted from BIOS? lol

I started gaming on a Vic 20 around 1983, then moved up to a Commodore 64 shortly after.

I'm pretty sure I started "gaming" with Lode Runner (The Legend Returns) on the family Windows 3.1. ..Yeaaaah.

I played a bunch of crap all the way up to about 2000... the Maxis Sim games (the true SIMULATION games, not THE SIMS) like Sim Safari. Or Sim Tower. But I was never raised on Doom and Wolfenstein, and while everyone was playing CS in the third grade, I was busy with Starcraft. With a weakening Dell computer that currently runs Half Life 2 at 7-14 FPS, if I'm lucky, I turned to the PS1. Followed by the Xbox when I had my first taste of Halo. I played GoldenEye with my friends, but I never got used to the N64 control scheme so I didn't care for console shooters all that much. 2006 rolls around and I decide to pick up a 360 with dreams of Halo 3 and Mass Effect. After that, realising a plan to get XBL up and running was more or less futile... and the need to experience Company of Heroes, I decided to pretty much cut support to my 360 and get myself a new PC. This was summer of last year.

"Gamed" on PC as a child, went through a 5-6 year hiatus. Back on PC for good now.

98' is when my family got our first PC and that is when I started PC gaming with Red Alert. Granted I had played PC games before that at friends/school, that is when I got into it.

First computer was a Tandy 1000.... 8 mhz, I think. My mom bought it for herself, but I pretty much took it over... Heh... didn't even have a HDD. First game I owned was some tank simulator called Artic Fox. Second game, I think, was Microprose's Silent Service....
