What was the first game you ever played on PC.

I was curious and wanted to let out a sense of nostalgia and I wanted to know what was the first PC game you have ever played. Mine was TMNT Mutant melee when I was around 5 and it was on an old e machine the family had. Mmm... That single core celeron goodness. I thought the game was okay and I liked the opening when they showed cut scenes from the cartoon, but then I got bored and never played it again until I was 10, then I lost the disc.

TIE fighter simulator. Still love that game on our original pentium pro computer. (obviously we are not counting atari or arcade/consoles right?)

One of the first graphical games that I played on PC must have been Red Baron.

 

HELICops is also a game that brings back memories for me. But that is much newer.

I spent a bunch of time playing SimTower. Gettin' them stars.

Pinball. The grandfather had a flight sim game back in 2000, but I don't remember it. Earliest "game game" I can remember is Lego Racers.

I don't do signatures.

Or maybe it was some flight sim where you could fly a helicopter or plane that came in a cereal box

Some Arthur (a kids tv show here in north america) educational game my aunt had. But I consider The Incredible Machine my real first PC game. I had my cousins old Windows DOS pre built and a family friend who was an IT looked at it and found that it had the game on it and he showed me how to play and stuff. It's a really cool game I highly recommend checking it out if you can.
