When I was 4 years old I used to play Defender and Lode runner on the Apple IIe (circa 1984.)

However, if by "PC" you are refering strictly to x86 "IBM compatible" machines, then It would be the original Simcity around 1989 or 1990 on my uncles uber fast 286.

For PC? Probably police quest. For computers... Probably Wolfenstein (not 3d, talkin' Apple II Stick Figure)

IIRC... Lemonade Stand on a Commodore PET when I was in elementary school.

About the same time though it was OBasic Trade, Ladder (think Donkey Kong), Hunt the Wumpus, and Star Trek. All written in OBasic, on the Kaypro II.

A text based game called "Adventure"

This was back in the very early 80s.
