First game you played

[BallisticPeanut]

Age of Empires, I barely knew how to properly play the game.

 

 

I also had a bunch of learning games, but I can't remember the names of them.

on a desktop, viper racing (pretty awesome and detailed) then went to laptops and consoles for years before trying minecraft a few years ago and never looked back since

YES! I remember Viper racing! Was one of the earlier racing sim games where you could actually adjust settings on the car. I played the heck out the demo...lol. It was really good for it's time.

first PC game was either C&C or "Z" . blew my mind

[Osga21]

Shigeru, which was a clone of the original super mario bros.for the nes, but instead of Mario you played with a baby in his diapers. It was very fun, but I was never able to find it again Q.Q

[shiftberry]

[Real_PhillBert]

Wolfenstein 3D. When It first came out! I'm getting old.

As far as games with actual graphics go:  One of the first Test Drive games in 4 colour CGA mode, maybe.

The first "proper" PC game I ever played (so not including the crap that came on Win XP or free in my granny's newspaper) was RuneScape, and only because one of my friends was playing it. The games that really got me into PC gaming though were Minecraft and Portal 2 (saw Yogscast Duncan do a video on it, blew my mind).

[Phillyphries]

I don't remember if it was this bad boy

 

This bad boy?

 

Might have been this guy?

[mythicalbeast]

Though being born in 1998, my first game was one of two, Transport Tycoon or Super Mario 64. I don't quite remember. But I still play Transport Tycoon in periods where I just marathon it for a few days or so before taking a long break. A freaking masterpiece of a game. Still have a Super Mario 64 emu on my PC ready to play. A lot of fun

I think my first game was Minecraft. Before that I was always gaming on the PS2 and Wii. Mainly the PS2. My brother then introduced me to Minecraft, which led to Steam, which led me to my current 93 games

[azzo]

Street Shuffle, Command and conquer and doom 2 

[dev893]

Diablo 2

[OriginalPromise]

Poptag/Maplestory. I'm Korean, it makes complete sense that Nexon games were my first. I quit since Maplestory is so unbalanced though.
