I'm pretty sure it was some educational game. But aside from that I think Roller Coaster Tycoon was my first.

NightmareP3

It depends on what you mean by "computer". If you mean anything starting with the 8086 and on then my first game, hrmmmm I'm not even sure what it was. It's probably something like those old D&D games or Kings Quest.

However you could define "computer" as the CoCo series from Radio Shack. Ya remember those? I had one of those while all my friends had the Vic-20. I don't even remember the name of the game but you flew a jet and dropped bombs. We played that one for an entire summer back in the day.

First 2 games I bought at the same time, Half-Life and Dues Ex! Haven't owned a console since. That was in early "1999" I believe. Didn't own a PC till then so that's were it all began for me.

Geez good question... I think it was some kind of kids game, like Aladdin or something. But the game that really stands out all those years ago was Need for Speed 2. Loved that game!

Now I am not counting Commodore as PC... so.

My first PC was a Gateway back in 1999. My first PC game was Starcraft. Number two was Half Life. I started off pretty good. ;)

It's been too long to remember, but it must've been something like Wolfenstein 3D or an early platformer, like Commander Keen.

However, the first 2 games I got when I switched back to PC gaming about 18 months ago I remember all too well: Crysis and STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl. Ahhh, good times. :)

Does Commodore 64 count ?

I guess not so I'll go with Age of Empires and Carmageddon.

It could be some educational game or maybe even Hover! on Windows 95. Not sure what year I played Warcraft 2, Duke 3d, Quake1-2 and Doom, but they were all played around the same time. Either that or those were the only games I did play back then.
