The first computer game I ever remember playing was Hugo's House of Horrors on a real floppy drive. I was like 6 and it scared the hell out of me.

Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device Which was made back in 1947. It was a missile simulation inspired from Radar display in WW2. And my first PC game ever played was Doom.

Man.. you all must be under 20 years old if you only remember Doom and Wolfenstein

I grew up playing games in good ol' Green and Black games of pre windows PCs. (Jenny's Journey may be the first "game" i ever played, but we had a ton of games like Flight Simulator (not the MS flight sim you guys are all thinking of... this was a green blob that was supposed to be an airplane you flew), I think we even had a baseball game, there was a golf game... Oregon Trail and Jenny's Journey are the ones that stick out in my mind though... )

First PC game I ever spent my own money on however was Doom 2.

First computer game I ever played was Zork, back in 1984. It was a text based rpg/adventure game. No graphics whatsoever, just text. If Zork wasn't the first pc game it was pretty darn close to being the first.

I remember when my cousin had a commie 64, the load times for The Bards Tale were legendary lol... and that was off a floppy. If you were loading something off a tape...

I can't remember exactly was was the first... I remember my PC came with a few games like Falcon, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and some racing games. At the same time, the PC at my school had the original Prince of Persia.

The FIRST computer game I ever played was an RPG game called Tunnels of Doom for my friends Texas Instruments computer. Had basically Atari graphics. You moved around in the dungeon in a first person view sort of like Wizardry or Might & Magic, but when you fought monsters or entered rooms, it switched to an overhead view where you controlled your characters. Had loot and stuff. Was a pretty amazing game for that time. First game I played on my own PC was Doom 2 and Warcraft 1 years ago.

My first game was the original ZORK. Classic text-only game. I was so young, was just learning how to read.

My first video game was Super Mario World, I think.

I was introduced to video games at a very early age, I think we got our Super Nintendo a year or so after I was born.

Didn't get into PC gaming until I went to college, but I remember playing Sopwith, and Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy back in the day. They must have been released in the early to mid 80s, because I left college in 1985.

Been playing PC games ever since, though.

The first computer game I ever played? Flight Simulator 2 on 4-color CGA with maybe 5 fps and crappy PC speaker bleeps. I wasn't impressed at all. I went right back to the Atari 2600.

First video/computer game I ever played was Pong. Yep, Pong. I was six, visiting my aunt and uncle in Germany with my parents. The Wall was still up. You could look over it and see russians armed with AK-47's (or russion equivalent, I know nothing 'bout guns) garding it. My uncle had it on some contraption, I can barely remember if it was self contained or displayed on a TV, I just remember playing it and thinking it was amazing.

The first "real" PC game I played was Scorched, or Scorched Earth...something like that. 2 tanks on 2 hills that would take turns taking shots at each other's hills, blasting away the dirt. You tried to make your opponents tank fall to it's death. :lol: Me and a friend of mine used to play countless hours on that game after *cough* having a *cough* smoke and laughing our behinds off till we were in tears. Aaaaaah, the good old days. :D

It almost makes me sad to remember that actually, it would be so cool if there were more games where 2 people could play using just one computer. (I know, I know, but I'm talking PCs here, not consoles!) :P

I'm in your club. I never owned a Vic20, but my buddy did when I was a child. We used to play River Rescue and Frogger on it. My first computer was a C64...I really wish I still had that. And sleepyz...god. the Odessey was my first console, as well. I even had the voice module for it. *farts dust*

1981: Robot Attack for TRS-80 "Great score, Player 1"

Might well be the first PC game I played.
