1. Larn (Rogue clone) for Unix System V on my AT&T machine.. (Freeware) When I figue out how to troubleshoot termcap, I'll continue the addiction from 6 yrs old..
2. "Darkseed".. that game scared the #$## out of me at 8 years old.. It's HR Giger's work. (The storyline precursor to Aliens, dark mirror demons rip your skull open and implant an embryo that grows until your head explodes the third day..) Lovley game, needs DOS protected mode and has no way to setup sound/mouse. Their tech support # was a used car lot now..
 
Akalabeth (1978, 1980). It is also referred to as Ultima 0. Richard Garriott wrote it in BASIC. It was included within Ultima Collection and Ultima IX: Dragon Edition.
 
I had Duke3D and Tiefighter but lost the disk for DK and the Tie fighter disks got currupted over time 🙂(). The oldest I have now I think is Star rangers or something like that.
 
Kommander Keen and Super Street Fighter 2... bought SSF2, then bought a Gravis Game Pad and it came with Kommander Keen... that was actually more fun that SSF2 =)
 
Not including a stack of old AppleIIe games (not PC), it is definately Zork. The oldest PC game that I actuially bought? Sim City for the PC.
