I started PC Gaming with stuff like Ghost Recon, Sim City 2k, Operation Flashpoint and some very old RTS like Starcraft.

First played Monster Truck Madness and US Navy Fighters as a kid on this white box piece of crap we had. Man do I not miss having to restart in DOS to launch certain games.

 

I truly got into it back in about 2001-2002-ish with my parents' old Pentium III Gateway. PIII at 800MHz, 256MB of RAM, and GeForce 2 MX400. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was the game that really kick started it.

Roller Coaster Tycoon and Sonic on my parents computer as a kid..

Then had consoles for the longest time, wanted something a little more so I got one of those steam machine alienware alpha's.

I got hooked again, and built my computer using linus's videos lol

I started gaming on our Commodore 64 in 1985. In 1991 I got an Amiga 500 and my first PC I got in 1993. Before that I had played games on my friends PC's. I think the first PC game I ever played was LHX Attack Chopper on my friends 286.
