Some children's muppet game

Something like this:

If we're talking on a personal computer, and not just an IBM-compatible PC, the these on the Commodore VIC-20

Probably an educational game like Reader Rabbit. But the first serious game I tackled was Starflight!

Space Quest II

it was either simcity on my neighbor's PC, or commander keen on mine. those years are a bit hazy

Literally gorillas.bas and it was the most fun thing for my brother and I.

There was no PC…..Colossal Cave

Wolfenstein 3D

Prince of Persia. The original one. In black and green.

What's a PC?

I did play either Duke Nukem 1 or 2 a long time ago, but undoubtedly my first PC game was Wolfenstein 3D. My cousin was super hyped for it and we played it a lot on his new 386. I sought out the unique PC experiences you couldn't get on console after that, but I still love console for what it offers

Chip’s Challenge on my dad’s Windows 98. …It was the only thing it could run on there.

Old DOS Frogger, or Pacman. Not quite sure which one was first, but those are my earliest memories for PC games.

If by PC you mean a DOS box, possibly EGAINT.

Worms: Armageddon 😎

Okay, It's putt-putt goes to the moon if you want a toddler's first game he played on PC.

The first one I actually remember the name of was Doom.

Willy The Worm.

Ultima 3.

Odell Lake. It taught me what an osprey was. 🐟🦅

It's slightly unnerving to think about how much of my personality is probably due to growing up playing Myst on my dad's PC. Namely, obsession with eerie abandoned places and a hyperfixation on details and puzzle solving.

I think it was Duke Nukem 3d on a friend's PC....🤔

Dinosaur Discovery Kit is the first one I remember.

Crystal caved, that's the further back I can remember, I can vaguely remember secret agent, my dad used to get all the apogee games, Halloween harry took me so long to remember the name to play it again, btw, please remaster that one, it's seriously awesome

DONKEY.BAS

I would lie if I said Team Fortress 2, because I'm going to be honest, it either was: - Club Penguin - Moshi Monsters - ToonTown - Wizard101 (I think it was this one) - Roblox - Heroes of the Might and Magic 3

Digger, the 1983 game. I am not that old, but there was an old 386 or 486 around the house that I was allowed to use since around 4 years old, and it had Digger in it. I had to use Xtree Gold to open it. I was bummed when I found out Lotus 1 2 3 was not a racing game.

To clarify, both PCs were my dad’s work computers. He just installed games on them and let me play whenever I was in the office (or at home for the “portable” one shown).

Oh!! My dad brought one of these back from work and showed me Flight Sim (1). That maybe counts as my first PC game (though we had a TI-99/4A before that with games on).

The hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy text adventure game on a 468 with a monochrome green monitor thank you very much

Would probably be a tie between the 1983 DOS versions of Frogger or Digger. Used to play them on my grandpa's old PC.

I'm this old.

I think it was Doom at a friends house

SimCity 3000. The game that started my addiction to city building and management games.

Hugo’s House of Horrors

Lode Runner: The Legend Returns (and then Duke Nukem later, of course)
