The first GREAT PC game I played was probably Siege, from Mindcraft. A genuine RTS with tons of units and plenty of replayability.

Or it may have been Elvira 2: The Jaws of Cerberus. It was a good old dungeon romp and graphic adventure in one. Lots of fun too.

..Wolfenstein (Not the 3D version but the apple IIe version) - I was so little, i shot the gun while my dad did everything else, we beat that game.

Loderunner - (c64)

BladeRunner - I loved that game, and I cant find it (pm if you do) It was a mouse pointer game like syberia.
TombRaider2 - was better than 1.
StarCraft - I played everyday after class, do some homework, then meet my friends to destroy them with my fleet of protoss carriers (if i was lucky)

Now... (drum roll)..... World of Warcraft .. best game ive ever played (period)

Need for Speed...the oringal game played in Dos or Windows95...

After that, the other game I used to play all the time was the orignal Grand Theft Auto...awesome game. But NFS dwarfed it in graphics.
