What was the first PC game you played?

Mine was Gunship 2000 which was on 5 1/4" floppies. Mountains were all basically 4 polygons in a pyramid shape, and there were little to no textures on most of the landscape. A software engineer where I was working had it, and I spent many of my lunch hours playing. It's what prompted me to build my own PC, even though I had only used a computer a few times. Back then it was much cheaper to build your own. I'm not so sure that's true anymore. I'd still rather build my own rigs though. I enjoy that kind of thing.

Best Excuses:

        #1(simple) "Well, I never liked that stupid thing anyway!"

        #2(complex) "Obviously there was a flaw in the material, probably due to the inadvertent introduction of contaminants during the manufacturing process."

Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) that is a good game and not for ordinary kids at that time as i mastered it from my cousin

Even back then computers murdered consoles in gaming. Here is what Space Invaders looked like on the crap Atari 2600

Hot wheels stunt track driver. That was the best game ever and I attribute that to why I love cars so much now.

This and a tonka game I always played on an old gateway computer sitting in my closet because who needs a desk.

The first game I played was a card game where you had to match pairs on MS-DOS. Then I upgraded to Commander Keen. :)

Either Jazz Jackrabbit or Doom, can't remember which. There might have been some shitty point and clicks before that but I'm not sure.
