Mine was some math racing game. Where you would solve math problems and your car would move faster or slower according to how you did. Does anyone know what it's called?

Non-educational was another futuristic racing game from like 1993 or something. Played it on an ancient Packard Bell computer

The earliest computer game I remember playing was " Swron". I don't remember how I found it, but i did, and i found it pretty fun.

At the time i had no idea what Tron or Lightcycles were, i just thought it was a cool game.

Think it was either Monster truck madness or the equivalent motor cross version by Microsoft.

I think the first game I ever played was the first Commander Keen. Damn now I feel like playing that again. Shame this computer doesn't have a diskette drive anymore, nostalgia!

Edit: Damn, skimming through this thread makes me remember so many old games, totally feel like playing them all over. I'm getting old, start feeling like all old games are better than the recent ones...

Oh man, this thread takes me back lol.

I'm sure I played others before, but the first computer game I remember playing is Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold. It was an awesome FPS that came out before Doom iirc. I think I was about 5.

Other games I was really into at around that age: Doom, Wolfenstein, Syndicate, Duke Nukem vanilla, King's Quest V and VI, and Kyrandia.

I remember Super Mario 1. Civ 1, and perhaps the precursor to the best game series ever..... X-Wing.

I think the first proper game I remember playing was Cyberblast B&W on my parents ancient mac SE30 - Never been able to find a copy of it, I seem to remember it being balls hard though.

Fuk me, I can clearly remember my first video game ever (obv super mario bros), but for pc ? I can't.
I just remember that i didn't have any computer in my home and played to my father's friend computer.
Either it's doom, alone in the dark, prince of persia, one must fall 2097 or sim city.
I was probably like 6.
I'm not kidding, really liked the doom one, but not indark, it scared the shit out of me.
There was also a click & point game : indiana jones and the last crusade.
But seriously can't remember which one was first, even warcraft 1 came later.

Edit : oh and F1GP... Gah. I really don't remember the first one. Probably PoP since it seems like the oldest of all.
Edit 2 : oh and Commanche... and FlashBack, arrrrrrrrgh...

Fuk that. Let's say PoP, end of story. Thank for the nostalgia !

It was probably pacman. Later came shokoban, arkanoid and the later Mother Goose and Larry 1.

I do remember games other people mentioned like Alley Cat. What about Paratrooper? Didn't see anyone mention that game.

Actually, now that I think about it, the first game that I saw may have been a simple .bat script that created two walls where you controlled a triangle (space ship) trying to avoid both walls.
