3/4 of the posts are listing things like Atari, early Nintendo, 'Box-Station' games or Arcades, not PC playable games.

First one I played in a pure PC envirnoment was the Leisure Suit Larry I - still have it on the old 5.5 flat cardboard protected floppys - it was around 1987.

 

[compudog]

It was a completely text based version of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy." By Infogames IIRC... Long time ago... early '80's.

PC: Commander Keen

Apple IIe: Driver

 

[JoeKing]

I think it was a mouse game on an IIe in grade school. I'm forgetting the name but it was a little triangle that you would type coordinates into and it would draw lines or figures for you. Baby steps into basic.

 

[aplefka]

Too hard to remember. Asteroids and Battle Tank along with Centipede were some of the ones I remember. Also, Lemmings on a floppy. Plus Treehouse and Playhouse, which also came on floppies. Those were the days.

Counter-Strike
