So everyone posted what was the first great computer game they played. What was the first PC game you ever played?

For me it was Wheel of Fortune 6th edition or something like that when I was 6. It had 4 colors and required dos 2.0. Ran on my first computer of which I don't know the specs... but I know it didn't have a harddrive.

The first memorable PC game I remember playing was Space Warp on a TRS-80.

I defy anyone of you motherfvckers to beat that!!! 😛
 
some game made into mplayer.

ok ok.. before that maybe oregon trail on floppy disk on the resource center computers
wait noo// in like 4-5th grade we was playing educational games on mac floppy disk 😉
 
First game ever on a computer: MS Flight Simulator on a Macintosh Plus (circa 1986).

First game ever on a PC: Need for Speed (circa 1990).
 
I don't know if it can be counted as a PC game, but it was Paperboy or Oregon Trail on the Apple II (Can't remember since I played them both for a LONG time the day I got 'em)

Which reminds me, I could never get past Thursday on PB. 🙁

I'll give someone a dollar for their serial, I promise to only use it once 😛

Normally I can spot humor (or attempts at humor) rather easily, but considering JoeKing's past, I cannot tell if the above was meant as sarcasm or not.

A guy made a thread a little bit ago about borrowing someone's serial for a while and said he'd pay them $1.
 
Dunno if it's necessarily the first or not, but back in second or third grade, I used to play a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game on my dad's old IBM.
 
on a computer it would be Mazogs on the Sinclair ZX81, beast of a puter...lol

had a funky one piece plastic flat keyboard to type on, loaded from a tape deck that you had to supply separetely......i think it had like 1k or something silly like that, but we bought an expansion module, i cant remember much now, i was somewhat younger...lol..this would have been early 1980's we bought it, dunno when it came out.....was very compact tho, pretty much the size of one of those fancy internet button keyboards you buy nowadays, oh it didnt come with monitor either, you used your TV...lol

on an actual PC, i dunno, Warcraft 2 i think in an internet Cafe, just before i started using the internet, about.....or was it Warcraft.....cant remember now, about 9 years ago or so....lol

first console was Phoenix on the Atari 2600 🙂
