So I guess my first classics were Commander Keen, Major Stryker (I think spelt like that) Skunny Cart, Duke 3D, Duke 2D, Galactix, all that good stuff. Then I put Starcraft on my refurbished '98 PC I was given and sort of never deviated from that, D2 and WC3 haha - good times indeed. And now I'm just moving into the next gen of games with SC2. Man I'm boring. | ||

how am I the first to mention hearts/solitaire/minesweeper out of all the people who grew up with a windows pc. Unless everyone just ignored them cause you didnt buy them. I at least strongly assume those were my first games. Other than that some old ones I remember were Commander Keen, Might&Magic 3.. Betrayal at Krondor.. theres definitely some older ones I've forgotten about. | ||

Either way, those were my first computer games and they were all awesome. I also remember playing Crime(predecessor of the GTA series you could say) and Jazz Jack Rabbit. Awesome too. Edit: OH AND I ALMOST FORGOT!! Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, Dune, and Prince of Persia. And there are so many more I can't remember right now. Ahh... Good old times... Edit2: Even earlier than all the above, I played Sonic the Hedgehog on a Sega Master System II with my father! Such a good game... You couldn't save, no checkpoints, nothing! My father once beat the final boss, or at least made it to him and we were so happy & proud. | ||

My first two games were on huge floppy discs and played on DOS. First was Gorillas! ![[image loading]](http://blog.yapb.net/images/qbasic-gorilla-screenshot.gif) Game where you shoot bananas at the other gorilla and adjust velocity/angle. Game was so fucking good. Second was Nibbles! ![[image loading]](http://www.jefflewis.net/graphics/programming/qbasic-nibbles-screenshot.gif) Basically a game like snake where you eat shit and try not to hit walls. Anyone else remember these gems? | ||

Oregon Trail... any number of other Apple IIe games. Help me remember this one... you're a little guy running around (it's all ascii art) and you can pick up whips, and it'll clear 'grass' or 'trees' around you, and the object is something like, run around to get the gems, don't die from the enemies that're chasing you, then get to the exit. It had like two sequels. GOD, it's bothersome that I can't remember the name of it. | ||

All six games were on sale recently on Steam and surprisingly enough playing through the first game again I found a secret door to finish one level, and ended up playing a level I had never played before! Amazing how 20 years later a game that old can still offer something new to a veteran gamer. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

Fond memories haha, and quite a while before I actually got anything real and that didn't come with it. For some reason my old PC had a bunch of games loaded on it: Battleships Metal Fatigue (random rts) Carmageddon Army Men games Silver (old action rpg) Tomb Raider and a whole bunch of others I can't remember. Fond childhood memories haha, thanks for making me remember. :p | ||

There was a game I played many years ago, perhaps 12-13, that I have forgotten the name to. You flew around in a spaceship as if you were the pilot. It was a kids game. And you were looking for something or another and you went to many different places. But it had like this real deep story. I can only offer this pretty vague description. I want to say you had a rabbit as a friend? And you were searching for a girl, perhaps your sister? Might have been an educational game too... | ||

I was 4 years old and we would borrow C64 from a friend and play some retarded athletic game. At the same time, we would rent SEGA from the local videostore and play Lotus. Then we bought Amiga 500 and i loved Little Apple Nicklebaum, or something with that name where you would throw apples at your enemies. I would watch my brothers play SWOS (Sensible World of Soccer) or Dune. | ||

Q-bert PAC-man (green backround) cant find pictures of it. Civilization 1 - used to play this alot as a 6 year old. Couldnt figure it out how to build a settlement, so I just moved around with the settler discovering the land and getting units of the houses. Was really fun, then the epic moments of gaining a city from diplomacy issues from enemies (happened like once in 50 games after waiting FOREVER) those were kicks and really fun. was wondering if someone could help me find some old games: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=179364 | ||

Our first computer at home was a C64, followed up by many others. I really can't recall my first game ever played on the C64, even though my favorite C64 game of all times would be Labyrinth (based on the movie Labyrinth). Our first actual PC was an IBM PS/2 286 :D I think the very first game I played on there was STUNTS (the racing game). Prince of Persia was really popular those days as well, and I personally liked Stellar 7 & Prehistoric Man (lol) a lot too. The 2 best games I've played on that machine, but came out a bit later I think, were definitely Wolfenstein 3D & Civilization. Some honorable mentions that didn't fit in my little story here: Dune 2 (Amiga), WarCraft 1 multiplayer through crosslink cable :D | ||

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... =) | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

Btw, did anyone ever play an rts in which the units were all or mostly just different types of tanks? its probably from sometime between 1999-2001. It's just cuz I saw my brother's friend play it once and I thought it looked awesome. I've been trying to find it's name since 2001 to no avail and this seems like a good time to ask. | ||

A fantastic early PC game in the vein of donkey kong, but slightly more fleshed out in level design (IMO IMO IMO) In this picture you are the red/white thingie... You have to collect all the red thingies to progress. You could set the levels to go in numerical order or randomize. Pretty sure there were enemies to avoid by running away. Oh, reading the wiki I remember all the other stuff too.. some levels had you building ladders, some had pieces of the level that would only reveal themselves when you get more red thingies.. etc. very fun. ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cd/64jumpman.gif) https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Jumpman | ||

After that, the first game I remember playing was Wing Commander in 1990. I was 6? Yeah, Six years old. Then it was DOOM, DOOM II, Dark Forces, and then came the RTS's. | ||

Game was buggy as hell, ex. you could jump as Dhalsim, Yoga Flame, jump, Yoga Flame, and so on until you jump off screen and couldnt be seen. If you go far enough you can crash the game. It was great. | ||

PC, (or rather mac) one of the following mac brick out, solitaire, a game called stardust, and one where you were a rabbit collecting carrots and you had to drop boulders on enemies, and i think you could dig through dirt (if anyone could name this, it would be appreciated.)

I remember playing this one game on a really really really old computer with Atari-like graphics. It was a mac/ibm computer I can't remember well. The mouse had 1 button and the arrow keys were laid out as <- V ^ -> ( like on a DDR screen) and the game was about this farmer, his pig, and an apple? it's been a while. I never actually got to play SCBW until like 2009 or so | ||

In any case, there's also another game that I can't find the name of. Can anyone see if they might know it? It's a side-scroller in a very metallic setting. You played sort of a robocop character, or it may just have been a robot all together. You could small laser bursts from your gun. As far as I can remember, the only enemies were turrets. I think the turrets had twin barrels. Oh, and you could collect "batteries," which I believe replenished your health. P.S. If you know the Mickey Mouse Supermarket game...can you tell me the exact name too? Haha. | ||

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 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 ! | ||

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. | ||

Edit : Man, do anyone know the name of some car simulation where you had to get from point A to point B without having to get past the speed limit, and looking for stop signs and the like ? I remember, most of the time you had to drive in the night, dunno why but that was the first levels. You had manual gears, lights and the thing to remove the cloud (dunno the spelling ? wiping glass or something ?) | ||

Lego Island, I miss playing that game so much, I actually tried finding it just to play it for a bit for nostalgia purposes about a year ago. Anyway, the first game I played was Winter Challenge when I was 4 years old and my dad brought in the first PC to our house. And I remember having issues starting the game off for some reason I think it was because it was a trial version, I didn't really speak english back then, I'm originally Polish. Oh, the realistic graphics in that game . Also, I remember having fun with doing a false start in ice skating because I was a little kid and this made me laugh because iirc the ref would just come out and start screaming at you.The music in this video brought a tear to my eye and brought back a lot of memories, loved it. | ||

This isn't the exact version of it (it had updated graphics): + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibNRDK_cz7o Doom (warning: music is pretty retarded): First console game, and first game EVER: Super Mario Bros. I was born in 1987 and some of my earliest memories are playing this game with my sister when I was like 2 or something. We also had an old Atari with the wood paneling (2600 I think) but I don't remember a single game for it besides Pac-man and that doesn't really count since it was arcade first. | ||

BATTLE CHESS! There was also an old game I've been looking for for nostalgia purposes, some mickey mouse game where you got to plan out a day by inviting a friend and doing an activity (going to beach, your garage, back yard etc) that I havne't been able to find. Also, as a sidenote, that store you're in looks pretty sick. That PC section looked pretty robust. | ||

Things like Battle chess came so much later than my first games. The first game I have memory playing is Air borne. But also might be Lode Runner, but I don't know at what age I played lode runner. Air Borne, I played when I was 2. | ||

Then a lot of Legend of Zelda. Still probably the franchise I've spent the most time playing to this day. As for computer games, it was stuff like Ski Free, Math Blaster, and Oregon Trail that got me through elementary school. I was terrible at Oregon Trail. Apparently filling your wagon with bullets and buffalo meat and forgoing medical supplies and clothes and your small children isn't a sustainable lifestyle. In 2001 I picked up SC:BW and never looked back! | ||

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/AFrss.png) Stargoose for PC ^_^ I was so young I can barely remember playing it, I think I was 4 or 5. I had to get my dad to launch it for me from DOS and I don't think I ever sat still long enough to play it for more than 10 minutes lol. | ||

I thought I was the only one who played that game!!! I loved it so much but then my disk got scratched up. I used to love building the stuff then racing around the island on it. And the music was so awesome. I can still remember the song Brick by Brick or whatever it was called! | ||

There was another game but I can't recall the name of it..; it was a first person space-flight game. After those, I bought my first game: Lords of Magic. My god if only Sierra would make a new version of that one. It actually should be heralded as the predecessor of Total War. | ||

Anyone else remember these gems? Yes wow forgot about those. Thread is bringing back some cool memories | ||

Can't believe on a SC fan site this hasn't been mentioned (I think). Brilliant game for its time. Air Traffic Controller So damn hard at later levels - planes going everywhere and you had to stop them from crashing into each other and from running out of fuel. Styx You had to make shapes around the map and trap the Styx in a small area without getting hit by the bombs on the outside. ![[image loading]](http://www.80sdos.com/screens/styx4.png) | ||

Games in general...that was some Atari game. Can't remember the name anymore but it was either a racing game, a game with a river or a game with pigs and a wolf. Those are the only three I played back then. | ||
