First computer game was called head over heels on the amiga, a very long time ago. Never heard anyone ever mention it but it was a brilliant game. Weirdly enough I remembered it looking amazing when I first played it but in reality it was 1 colour and around 32 pixels, I did find a remake on an emulator years later with updated graphics which was lovely to play.

Stunts on the PC of my rich buddy, the graphics plus building tracks and then racing them blew my mind. Also Winter Games was fucking great, loved that ski jumping. I only had played some games on robotrons in school and on an old sinclair zx81 before.
It was like 2006 or 2007 and my Dad had an old Win98 pc he gave me, and I pirated Quake 2 because I always wanted to try mouse and keyboard in an fps. 2 years later I started mowing lawns to save up for a real rig and bought Left 4 Dead.
The first game that really stuck with me was Warcraft II. I remember my babysitter brought over a bunch of games and installed them on our Windows 95/DOS PC.
He installed a few other games too: Deer Hunter, Loderunner, Quake (only my Dad could play that), Sim Town + Some game demos, and some journal game I don't remember the name of. WC2 is the one I played the most for sure though.
I remember playing the campaign over and over with cheats, but the godmode cheat didn't work against magic, so it was dang near impossible for me to beat the last level. The level editor blew me away too, I would spend so much time in it just setting up large unbalanced scenarios to destroy the NPCs.
On disc?
I think the Hercules PC game.
I remember it to be really fun and addicting
The one I remember being one of the first PC games was The Adventures of Captain Comic. I also remember the first game I played with a sound blaster card instead of PC Speaker was Blues Brothers Jukebox Adventures.
Couldn't tell you which came first, but the earliest games I remember were RollerCoaster Tycoon, Tonka Construction, and Treasure MathStorm. Little me was a fool, RT was the one I played the least.
Counter Strike 1.3 :)
The bomb has been planted
It was definitely some educational game, I'm quite sure it was "Leer 't lekker zelf", edutainment from the Netherlands. You had to subscribe and you got a new disc every two weeks. I just looked it up and people have actually archived it online.
thats so cool! yeah educational as a kid were big for me too!
I think my first PC game was Doom 2. I was little and only ever played it on god mode lol. I still know at least one of the cheat codes.
IDDQD I think it was
god mode finding the secret head in the end hahaha
First computer was a csx64 8 I still have it but I was so young when I first played a game in it I don't remember... maybe tuk goes to town??
oh wow i love the graphics
My first "real" pc game was Team Fortress 2, before that it was probably Lego Island 2 or some Spongebob flash game.
I think it was StarGoose from the 80s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Goose
