First game I remember playing was something metal sluggish on sega, can't remember exact game =( (played it while my parents were buying his NES!)

First PC game... I honestly can't remember... Wonder if it was Boston Bomb Club or The Incredible Machine... I just remember I had to go into dos to play it, and my parents thought I had broken the computer first time they saw me navigating in dos =)

(sorry for the sound, but to my memory, it was even worse on my computer)

Oddly enough, I also remember that my 3rd windows game was Worms 2, I remember it clearly because I had 2 games installed, and I asked nicely if I could uninstall one of them to install a new one... =)

Technically the first computer game I played was solitaire while I jammed Third Eye Blind at age 9.

But the first computer game I bought (age:10) and played the hell out of was NOX.

this thread is sweet, made me remember some more games I used to play.
Lemmings of course (how could i forget), Bundesliga Manager, Stunts (greatest racing game of all time xD, a little bit like trackmania hehe)
Also I just barely remember playing that Gorilla dos game

I also played a lot of text adventures
some games in a later era were colonization, and the good old adventure games, indiana jones4, monkey island, Days of Tentacle, Pirates! Pirates was amazing :p

"Technically" was some bernstein bears learning game.

I can't believe nobody played any of the "learn your abc's" games as their first. Did you guys not get computers until you were like 12+? My family had one when i was 2 or 4 or something, can't quite remember.

Did anyone mention Below the Root yet?

I didn't own a computer back then, but played Below the Root at school on the computers there. It was badass.

My first one was Pajama Sam (lolz) or Wing Commander 4...I can't remember which. I never actually really played WC4 until much later though, I only played one mission or so.

Pac man, Paratrooper, Tetris and Space Invaders were all on my first computer (a 386). As far as I can remember, they were the first games I ever played.

I later played a lot of NES games. Warcraft 1 and Doom were also some of the earlier games I played once I got a better computer that could handle them.

Hangman and Tetris on a Tandy 1000 TL2 (80286 runnning Deskmate3 from ROM), first game i bought never ran cuz I obviously didnt grasp the concept of hardware requirements 486, think i dreamed a lot about playing it tho, it was some popular RPG at the time, dont remember the title sadly.
