First PC game u ever played???

Wow, could the Odessy 2000 by Phillips constitute a "PC".  If so it would be Odessy 2000 Asteriods (or their version of it).

Excluding the Odessy 2000 it would have to be Rat Race for the VIC 20!  Talk about processor speed!

first game?.. hmm.. "pitfal" and "the adventures of malcom mortor" came with my tandy coco3.. one of those i imagine..

probably lemmings, or maybee somesort of old virtuacop style game.. wolf or something like that, PoP for sure was in there, i even remember some old Grand Prix game.. like 3 cars ferrari,jordan,mclaren.. ohh yeah and paintbrush (u know the windows thing).. it was soo fun, i spent like 1 hr constructing a castle out of building blocks (u know the brick background tile for windows 3.1??)

The first game I actually played on a PC I think was Empire, Wing Commander 1 or maybe the original Sim City

The first game on a computer before that was probably the original Castle Wolfenstien on the Apple IIe

Of course I remember the original pong sets back in '76 and I had every Mattel hand held game when I was about 10

wolf3d was likely my first...followed by Doom

digger.. that game rocked the house

DOOM was my virgin-game lol

doom.

wow! the good ol dos gaming days back on my first 486DX250. I started out with Lemmings (it came bundled with my Creative 4X CDrom/sound card)Then I moved up to the Commander Keen and early DukeNukem games (side scrollers). Played the original Descent game on shareware, loved it and had to buy the full version (first PC game I ever bought).

I think mine was Digger... or maybe Paratroopers.

Edit: Arcade... well where I lived (back in Ukraine ) there was this arcade really close to my house so I went there like every other day, I probably was 5 at the time... There was a bunch of arcade games, the one that stands out the most in memory was this racing one... you actually had to stand on a pedal to make the car go faster... and there was ice and snow and bigger cars as levels passed on, 2d of course... ok I got the biggest nostalgia now, if anyone know what that game might be, pm me or something.

P.S.: It was scrolling down the screen not to the side. And cars were made of visibly square blocks. And the point was not to hit other cars as you kept driving I think.

Sounds to me like Pole Position.

There is a screenshot, does that look like it?

Anyways... My first was King's Quest 4... then my next most memorable was Commander Keen.

if we're talking consoles, then it was Soccer for the Atari 2600...

if we're talking puters, then it was Privateer 1...  totally blew me away back in the day, and got me into computers and computer gaming...

and if we're talking arcade, i think it was the original Gauntlet, but i can't be sure...

A fantastic classic space adventure game called Captain Blood was the first IBM/PC game I played, in 1988.  I remember dreaming about playing it when I slept, it was really fun (at least back then).  There wasn't really a point to the game, you just had to go around this map of planets trying to find one where an alien was.  It probably sounds really dumb now, but I remember it being the coolest thing ever.
