What's the first PC game you ever played

[BasementOgre]

Below the Root for the first mac we had in private school, probably back in 84 or 85.

 

[JoeKing]

Asteroids is the earliest I can remeber.

 

[AMDZen]

probably oregan trail or gorilla on DOS. Or maybe it was pitfall on Atari

Some games on Commodore 64 too, but I was too yung to remember their names.

Regardless, to answer your question -> I have no frickin idea

 

[macwinlin]

Either Ms. Pac-Man, Joust, Donkey Kong or Dig Dug for the Atari 800XL. These games were cartridges that I would plug in like the Sega Genesis or Nintendo SNES.

Dangerous Dave

 

[Bateluer]

WarCraft 2 was the first, followed by Civilization 2.

I can't remember whether or not I played Outpost 2 before War2 though. Even though Outpost 2 was hardly a great RTS, it was still a lot of fun to play and did take considerable skill.

 

[Kyteland]

Letter Invaders

That's not the same game, but similar. It was part of the typing tutor program.

Kings Quest (not sure which number it was... I think it was the first one to come on a cd) was probably my first game on my own computer.

Otherwise probably Oregon Trail on the old 5 1/2 inch floppies.

i remember kings quest, but that was before games came on cds.

I know I played games before this, but I really remember having fun playing Kings Quest 2, and X-wing.
