Pretty sure mine was Age of Empires 2 back when they had a beta if they had one... I'm not sure, it was really foggy. It was either that or I'm confusing it with Might and Magic for some reason.

Pretty sure it was AoE2 though... StarCraft came by not far behind though.

Sim City 2000 (not truly real-time, but a strategy game nonetheless). I also played Lords of the Realm 2 at about the same time (more turn-based than real-time).

If you're going by games truly in the real-time strategy genre, then I played Starcraft 64 and Command and Conquer 64 at about the same time (late 1999-early 2000 I think).

Red Alert 1 on the DOS and later on Windows 95

Damn games against the computer always took me like 3/4 hours to win in skirmish but I didn't mind back then

Real RTS players have to use the command panel for everything and only control 4 units at a time. ^^

The first one i played *often* was probably KKND and i will love it for all eternity (Mutants ftw!).

No clue which was the *real* first one.

For me it was the original Age of Empires, although I never played it online. I used to like playing island maps with as many AI as possible, I liked the idea of loading up transport boats and sending them to the different islands. Games regularly lasted over 2 hours (not in one sitting) and I would inevitably end up using the cheat to get the car with a rocket launcher to just mop up the map after a while. I was about 9 years old.
