Wolfenstein 3D...Now that I think about it, I don't think it was the right game for a 6 year old to play.

I was about the same age when I played Doom & Wolfenstein. Nowadays they'd put us in the psych ward. Haha

One Must Fall 2097 was the first game I ever played. I was unstoppable as a kid with the fire shooting Pyro guy :D

Age of Empires 2!!! God I'm a newb compared to some of you vets! But yeah AoE introduced me to the RTS genre and no other genre has ever given me as much satisfaction. Shooters like Quake and stuff always paled in comparison to the likes of Brood War (Yeah I jumped on the train late :D heard some guys talking about it in game chat and I was like 8 so I was clueless ahhh the memories)

Probably something like Bubble Bobble for Atari among the first games I played. On PC it is much harder to recall since there are so many it could have been in the DOS/Mac era.

Lotus 3: The Ultimate Challenge, some Aladdin game for DOS, and Doom. I watched my brother play both Lotus and Doom. I also watched him play Dangerous Dave, Commander Keen, and Quake.

Then later it was Age of Empires (also watched my brother play that) Duke 3d, and Shadow Warrior. The first game I played for myself was Age of Empires 2. Played in RTS League eventually, and I was really sad when Zone closed down and the scene started dying.

Age 2=best team RTS ever, IMO. SC's team balance is crap, and it's honestly not that cool. Age of Empires 2 was sooo awesome for 3v3s. Just amazing. Balance was simple, because most teams would be mirrored, like Hun/Mongol/Brit or Hun/Mongol/something, and everything came down to tactics and skill. I have some awesome memories. On water maps the fights would be even more interesting. Nothing like galley rush wars and then sneaking a beachhead castle :D

ski for windows 95. id spend hours on this game trying to run away from the goddamn thing that eats you.

I just had to.

I believe mine was either Prince of Persia or SupaPlex. At least on a PC.
I remember playing checkers on a tape-console and later on some retarded shooter on an HC.

Pong was my first, Right after the game Tank was released by Atari. Mostly remember Gorf and arcade Galaga later on after that. And (Vic 20's) Jupitor Lander was a favorite.

One of the really old versions of simcity was the first pc game for me. One of my cousin was the only person I knew who owned a pc back then so all my cousins fight over to play that and snes whenever we were at his place. I was the youngest one though so I hardly ever got to play. One time I FINALLY got to play and one of my cousins was just backseat playing and tried to take over. I got really upset (aka cried like a bitch) and eventually they stopped bothering me

Also warcraft 2. We only knew like 2 cheat codes in the game ("glittering gold" [extra money] and "make it so" [build buildings super fast]) so it was a bitch to play the campaign. Our idea of strategy involved typing out glittering gold 5x (no copy and paste) with our 20 wpm and we try to "barrack rush" the computer. Basically we sneak a peon right outside of the cpu's base, build a barrack and pray that it doesn't get destroyed before it finishes building. From then on we can just rally units from that one barracks and hopefully win. That shit was hard, I used to watch my cousin try to build that barracks for like 20 minutes with no success lol.

Depends on how you define computer game. First game was some MSDOS learning game. Then came some lame schoolgames, but oregon trail was fun.

Those tank and skiing games for windows 95 were so fun though. Still atre lol.

3D DINOSAUR ADVENTURE! HECK YEAH!.

Anyways, the first "real" game that I played was Age of Empires at age 5. Sucked at it. Didn't beat that demo until I was a Junior in high school.
