PC games, first ever PC game?

RE: PC games, first ever PC game?
I'm trying to remember the very first PC game I had when I got a 286 PC for my 18th birthday. I think it might have been Prince of Persia which was lent to me by a friend.

I don't remember the exact first one, but it was something on the Commodore 64.  This was one of the ones I remember the most...

I really hope the new one is good.  It looks pretty sweet, and the concept sounds cool.  The only way to get health is to kill an enemy, so the best way to stay alive is to kill as many enemies as quickly as possible.  The previews of the PvP have gotten a good reaction, and they're going to have level editing for the consoles, too.  It looks nice, too.

Looks much better and faster paced than doom 3 too. Doom 3 bores me massively.

Still doesn't look quite fast enough though, I wish the run speed was more like the Unreal Tournament games.... or the original doom games.

Other than that, still a lot faster and indeed does look awesome.

Anyway, before it derails into a discussion of newer games: First PC games people, keep it coming, yay!

Also, creating a favourite MS DOS game thread now.

My first actual game on a PC was X3: The Reunion, second hand a few years back. It took a loooooong time to get into PC gaming in any capacity.

My first video games were Spyro: Season of Ice and Attack of the Clones on the Gameboy Advance, in 2002. It took me a while to complete them both, but the year after I got Pokemon Ruby for Christmas, and the 800+ hours I clocked up kickstarted my love affair with Pokemon and gaming in general Big Grin

Probably Number Munchers or one of those other edutainment games. The ones I remember in middle school were the Oregon Trail and this one where you're a slave that has to escape. I think it was called Freedom. First game I probably played for the PC that wasn't in school was Where in the USA is Carmen San Diego. It was on a disk or cd that came with a ton of games (some of them not very appropriate! lol).

Not much of a pc gamer though.
