First: Far Cry
Best: Don't know, I rarely have time to game
Future: Crysis

Problem: That DirectX10 will be needed, but that will require Microsoft Vista.

You mean in the long-run? Yeah.

But if you mean for Crysis? No, it will run in XP with DX9.
 
First: Oregon Trail (it wasn't a new game at the time, though)
Best: Too hard to pick just one. The first months of online multiplayer Quake were just frickin' awesome. Ultima Online was a lot of fun as well in its pioneering days. For single player, I think Half-Life 2.
Future: I have high hopes for Team Fortress II. UT3 will also be a mandatory buy. Nothing else is exciting me at the moment.

I know we were just supposed to pick one game for each category, but I just can't.
 
First: Unsure...Commando on the Spectrum ZX maybe...
Best: Draw between a bunch of games, Doom, Fallout, HL1, Loom...too many goodies to pick one 🙂
Looking forward to: Don't know, Crysis and StarCraft II I guess.
 
First:
Video Games 1 on the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A
specs -
RAM: 16K

CPU: TMS-9900, 16 bit

Running at 3MHZ

Graphic Resolution: 256x192

Best:
Tie Fighter or Half Lfe

Future:
Crysis
 
1st: Pong (sigh, am I that old?)
Best: Legacy of the Ancients (C64) or Bane of the Cosmic Forge (IBM PS2)
Future: Bioshock or Crysis
 
First PC game was Civilization (DOS)
Favorite PC game would have to be Quakeworld Teamfortress
One I'm looking forward to is Savage 2
 
first pc-game was pong or tanks (the old two player game that cost a quarter and had baby monochrome graphics)
favorite pc game: hum tough one - half life when it first game out was great but now it seems kind of boring, duke nukem, descent 1, hexan - problem is all these games seemed a bit lame today but they were a lot of fun in their days.
future: hard to say i guess immediate future maybe bioshock - have to play the demo first 🙂
 
1st - Either Conan or Montazuma (sp?) Revenge, both on Apple IIC
Best - Hard to say, guess I'll go with Baldur's Gate 1. Only game I put in 12'ish hours straight on it in a single day.
Future - None really at the moment.
 
First-WoW(late bloomer but I only played it for the month before I couldn't stand it)
Best-HL2 but Ive played the most of BF2 due to playing competitively.
Future-COD4
