What was the first PC game you ever played? Mine was probably a really old DOS based game and the first one I can remember playing a lot and clearly was a game called Skifree. You would ski down a mountain and at the end a snowman would always eat you. That's about it hah.

My first ever game was RM2 I think its been re-released as Rolemaster Classic.
If it is the same one I remember, it involved a character made of about 9 pixels trying to reach a door or a key, and shooting enemies with a spread gun (3 pixel shot).

I don't remember my first game, but first impressive game in my life was WarCraft2, and Unreal Tournament after that

You must be quite young then
Warcraft2 must be awesome, I have 1 and 3. Blizzard haven't made a bad game yet. Unreal Tournament is one of the old ones i still play, absolutely awesome game.

Dune I guess, the first strategy game, or maybe Warcraft 1, though the controls were terrible and I won't be playing them today if I got the chance . I can also recall some old BASIC games (those games you were playing on TV, with a casette recorder) such as Saboteur or Dizzy.

PS. Joel007, can you please PM me? I am unable to send you a message; u must have your members mail receivement off or something (?) Thanks.

My first PC game.....ever? Jeez, I must hang my head and admit that it was either Oregon Trail or Number Munchers.

Does anyone even remember Number Munchers? It was back on the ACTUAL floppy disc days (the ones where you had to be careful to not dirty the little exposed film in them).

Probably Monkey Island or one of the old Sierra classics (Lesuire Suit Larry for example).

Can't remember exactly.

SQUEAL! I used to love playing this game!
It's actually how I got very good at math. I was seriously afraid of those monsters ;P
Oregon Trail...I remember playing the real old school version with like 4 colors and totally pixellated.

I think it was probably one of the King's Quest games, but I don't recall which one. I think we had it on the 3 1/2" diskettes.

My first PC game was some DOS program meant to entertain young children (since I was 3 at the time). The other ones I remember are some casino game (California Dreamin' I think), Family Feud, and Sesame Street.

I also remember playing Jazz JackRabbit (like Sonic the Hedgehog but with a mean green bunny!) and Jill of the Jungle back in the mid 90s when we got our first home computer...
I wish I could recall the games I used to play at other people's house...one was where you were on an island travelling around talking to pirates and looking for stuff...another was kind of scary and you were in graveyards and a castle and talking to spirits and I think there were vampires (that helps narrow it down? haha)...it had very good graphics for its time. The last one was a weird game based on ChupaChup lollipops and moved fast paced like Sonic too.
Any ideas what I might be talking about?

You should be able to get hold of a version of Jazz Jackrabbit here Home of the Underdogs - Entry: Jazz Jackrabbit 2

Ok Ill check it out! I tried a link a few years back and it just didn't work for some reason. Modern technology could make it easier to find now!

I think the first game I ever played was Captain Comic, for DOS.

Some golden oldies include the Commander Keen series, Monkey Island 1, Space Quests I+, King's Quests I+, Police Quests I+...

All games were hardcore with instant death rules, not like these days!

X-Wing was another uber-hard game, so realistic that if you died in a mission, you couldn't load back - at all. Your pilot would be dead and you'd have to start the whole game over, even if you'd played weeks and weeks to the final deathstar run.

Hardcore indeed.
