What was your first game on your own PC? (Not counting PCs of your dad, grandpa, friends, anyone else)

What was your first game on your own PC? (Not counting PCs of your dad, grandpa, friends, anyone else).

Mine is Plane Crazy (1997).

grandpa... what are you doing here

Diablo 2 but it was around three years after release.

It might have actually been Oblivion. Which is a bit sad since I'm an oldfag.
Before that the family PC had always just been mine by default, and kept in my room, since I was the only one who knew how to use it.

Deus Ex, I reinstall it everytime I do a new pc.

...

Civ 5.

I bought the bundle for a few years ago and it could run on my laptop. Before that I just played a few mmos, but never bought any games or used steam. I need a laptop for classes/work so I've never owned a desktop, and decent gaming laptops that will actually last a while are a bit too expensive.

...

Well I was given a hand me down Pentium 133 that I used pretty extensively for X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and classic Lucas Arts adventure games.

The first computer I built though was a dual celeron 366 (550MHz OC) box with a Voodoo 3 built to run Quake 3/UT99 on Linux and serve as a server for LANs.

Never got to have my own computer until I started going to college. Bought a toshiba laptop to do schoolwork on using a scholarship and even though it wasn't that powerful it lasted me well into 2017 when I finally replaced it with a full desktop; I don't really main PC, I just use it for work. First game on it was either TF2 or emulated Donkey Kong Country Returns, I don't remember which one I played first.

Probably Impossible Creatures

...

...

This game is fucking awesome.

...

You mean the one I bought myself or what? I didn't have a job until 23 so it's going to be some 5 years old game. ?

I can see a lot of people counting their own PC (meaning you own it, no regard on who paid for it) but most kids PC are like that you know. Nobody is sharing with their siblings now that PC cost like $300

Skynet 1996
It was cool, but very clunky by todays fps standards

spent countless hours mastering zone industrielle with the gt1

...

I got my first PC at the ripe age of 15, some of my first PC games were, Doom 3, Dungeon Siege 2 , Rise of Nations and Indiana Jones and the Emperor's tomb.
I spent so many hours on them and loved them to death before I had access to internet (a year or so later) and they are still my all time favorites, I dont care if they are shitty games or full of flaws, they made a lasting impression on me back then.

>friend has a cool game
>record it on 50 floppy disks
>bring it home
>start copying it on my PC
>one floppy is dead

TF2, and I didn't know how to switch to the itemized server menu, so i just played balloon race because it was one of the pictured servers close to the top. I couldnt understand customizing my sensitivity or resolution either so It was like 10 fps and i could only control the sniper

...

the apex of multiplayer gaming back then

Pretty sure it was Quake or some shitty rally game. I mostly played Quake though.

Dark Souls

That game was the shit

Though mine was Half Life *Counting as it's my own PC, not my Dad's*
The first PC Game i played however was Soldier of Fortune

OP's question doesnt completely apply to me
But my first encounter with a computer was one our parents bought for the whole family to use.

It had trial versions of Microsoft Pinball, Motocross and Age of Empires one which popped my RTS virginity
When i had my own PC though i installed The Sims on it.

Sonic R. The PC port of the Saturn game.

It ran on an old cobbled-together workhorse whose CPU clock speed was 100 mhz, and it ran in seconds per frame as opposed to frames per second. But somehow, I still had a lot of fun with it.

Minecraft in 2011

Stayed on PC since and played everything I've missed, not ashamed. Wish I switched earlier.

Mine was TF2, I was a consolepleb for a long ass time until I decided around 2012 to invest in a PC.

Either Command and Conquer 1 or Duke3D, idk anymore.

RoN + UT2004 LANs were fun as hell.

SUPER WORD MUNCHER

...

What the hell, this is probably one of, if not the first game I've owned, before I even had my own PC. Are you me?

>>Niggerlords of Aquilonia: Sriracha Sauce

You play as a young Kenyan that has discovered the existence of soy. Ten thousand years ago soy was banned as it introduced man titties and collapsed both Rome and Egypt. You have been visited by Scipio Africanus who gave you a sacred quest to resurrect ancient Aquilon, and restore a soyless world.

I can't recall. It was either Sim City 2000 or Populous 2.

Treasure Mountain

replaying it now
my first PC was used 286 12MHz with 4MB RAM. It came with several games installed on whooping 40 MB HDD: Wolf3D, Prince of Persia, Civilization and F-29 Retaliator.

first PC game I played was Midtown Madness
first PC games I owned were the first Call of Duty and Soldier of Fortune 2 Gold Edition

SoF was too hard for me, but it had great gore

>Midtown Madness
God I remember trying to drive PROPERLY like in real life in that game with keyboard and mouse.

skyrim
don't kill me

Maybe this

Total Annihilation.

BARF!

Shame there aren't games like F29, Comanche or even Fury and Descent out there anymore.

Tzar
An RTS

Probably the games that came pre-installed with Windows 3.1. Minesweeper, Rodent's Revenge, JezzBall and Chip's Challenge are what I remember.

Some crappy free MMOs.

A pirated copy of Monkey Island on my Amiga 1200.

Don't try to out old-man me son.

Thanks Computerbild Spiele
