i remember half-life being among them but i think the [I]first[/I] would be this old ass sierra minigolf game from 1996 or 1997 called 3d ultra minigolf. 3d ultra minigolf deluxe works on windows 10 after a patch but i haven't been able to get it to work with network play even though i did before and it makes me angry
Either Toaster Run from After Dark Games disk or Diablo 1.
Never really sank a lot of time into PC games until Runescape came out, though.
-snip aint a pc game whoops-
I think my first game that wasn't a school learning game was SimTower.
I'm not sure as i played a shitload of different stuff from the very beginning, but if i had to do a educated guess it was probably Red Alert on DOS.
Duke Nukem 3D on my dads lap.
Educationally, it was either Super Solvers: Gizmos & Gadgets or Carmen Sandiego Word Detective. For entertainment, it was Falcon 3.0.
3D Dinosaur Adventure, baby! The 3D gimmick was tiresome after a while, but it was an adventure all the way through.
Putt Putt Saves the Zoo
Sensible Soccer, Cannon Fodder, Lemmings, Desert Strike and Road Rash.
Those are the ones i have the earliest memories of, I couldnt tell you which one I played first though.
Probably Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault
I played those golden age ww2 shooters on the PS2 but PA was a PC exclusive and a young me just had to play it so thats how I got into PC gaming

[/QUOTE]
I played those first 3 on Amiga, definitely some of the first computer games I played
As for PC I think Doom and Duke Nukem 3d, I must've been about 10 or 11 years old
my dad showed me my first non-edutainment game, quake
Putt-Putt, way back when I was a tiny kid who didn't have my own computer. At some point after that, Unreal Tournament.
Kind of a jump between 3 years at most.
My first one was probably Spy Fox : Dry Cereal. I remember getting it in a cereal box.
It was either Delta Force, or [t]http://i.imgur.com/UQTf19U.gif[/t].
I'm not sure which.
Damn, that's tough. I remember the first game I played on my own PC back in 98-99 (yeah, I was pretty lucky to have my own PC at the age of ~6) was HL1. I remember being scared as fuck and not being able to play anything past chapter 2. But I think my true first PC game ever was Bomberman (Dyna Blaster) for DOS on my mom's work laptop.
In general: Chase On Tom Sawyer Island on C64 back in elementary school.
First on PC: Wolfenstein 3d
UT99 / Unreal Gold / Serious Sam / Morrowind
One of those
I think it was Unreal Tournament or Soldier of Fortune. Probably UT saying it was around first.
Time Commando.
Was the shit back in the day. Probably played it too early in my life but fuck it was good
I remember my uncle used to have a CD full of shareware games for Windows 95. I think it was mostly Apogee's stuff, but I really can't remember their names, with a few exceptions. I remember playing a lot of a Jetpack game, that had a level editor that made me have hours of fun. I also recall a top-down racing game, that had also had a bit of vehicular combat since cars had health bars and you could get guns as upgrades, but I really can't remember it's name. I also played a lot of Worms 2, I just don`t remember which one was the first one.
That'd be really hard to say. Maybe Half-Life, maybe Doom, maybe Counter-Strike, maybe Sims, maybe Rollercoaster Tycoon, maybe Quake, maybe Rock Raiders. Honestly, I played a lot from a young age, and it all kinda blends together.

If edutainment games count, this.
Otherwise, Aliens Vs Predator 2.
My first actual PC game was probably JumpStart Kindergarten back when I was in, well, Kindergarten. I played games like that, as well as tons of flash games and web browser games like Runescape and Urban Dead throughout middleschool and high school. For the longest time, however, I didn't think PCs were serious gaming platform. I thought it was just for dumb educational games and flash games or "sims" like Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and things like that.
It wasn't until 2007 that I discovered on YouTube what I'd say was my first "real" PC game, Garry's Mod, just before the release of the Orange Box. That was the game that made me realize there was a whole world of PC gaming I was ignorant to. I started with the Half-Life series and the games on the Orange Box and all the mods (especially Sven Co-op), and from there I was introduced to other games like Doom and Fallout. Long story short and a few years later, I was a dedicated PC gamer.
Some real old racing game from the 90s, probably mid 90s were you drove I think it was ferraris, I cant remember so much about it. But it was a fantastic game
I remember playing games back when I was 2-3 that required a rubber keyboard slip-cover with graphics printed on it. Sesame Street games I think?
Otherwise games like "P.F. Magic" Catz & Dogz series back in 1995 come to mind.
First video game ever was Abe's Oddysee on the PS1. Absolute classic.
But first PC game was a 1996 strategy game, M.A.X., I believe.
