>ITT: The first PC game you ever played
I forgot the name but, it was a arpg developed or published by sierra entertainment. Last thing I remember about it is that you are in some kind of floating land in the sky fighting monsters. Played it around the year 1999 or 2000.
Something like this.
The version I played only had black and yellow (the colors of the monitor) though.
>>336885637
Came here to post this
>>336885476
I had NES, but when I first got my PC I had demo of pic related and my mind was blown about fucking 'realistic' it was

Zug's Dinosaur Discovery Kit on an IBM Tandy. To this day I still search for a copy and haven't found one. Our old computer basically was left in an attic and wasted away with god knows how many pictures, short stories and other things we saved as kids on those discs.
>that primitive, garbled text to speech part in Zug

>>336885476
The demo anyway. But that single demo had an ENTIRE planet in it, like an entire games-worth of content in one single demo level.

Either Pic related or some Turrican title.
Define "PC".
Windows?
DOS?
Anything that isn't technically a console?
Because it would be Omega Race for VIC-20 if so.
You fucks need to realize that "PC" != "Microsoft Windows".
Oregon Trail. My school had computers before my family got one.
After playing it with my Grandad when I was little, I eventually borrowed it and beat it with every character. Now I own it mint in the box, so many happy memories.

I remember getting it after saving up from chores and being so fucking pumped. Spent a lot of hours in that game.
>>336885476
I still love this game.

>>336885476
Same here OP. That was basically my only computer game growing up and holy shit was it fun. Especially since you had the editor where you could custom make your own scenarios, which I used to make probably a thousand little stories to play through.
How do you guys even remember things you did at young ages? I can kinda guess that it must be either pic related or Warcraft 2 on DOS, but my memories from those times are really vague.
I actually have better memories of watching my dad play games, for some reason. I liked to watch him play Ultima Online and the first Diablo (which was terrifying for me back then).

I have a weird memory. It came in handy when I hung out with a bunch of party animals around 21. I was the go-to guy when you misplaced keys, etc. or wanted to know something that happened in great detail.

>>336886289
I loved that old Tandy I had as a kid. Really want to replay some of that stuff for some nostalgia.
>>336886316
Age of Empires 1 has such a better setting than 2 imo.
i played other pc games in the computer lab at school but when my parents bought my first pc in 1996 it came with a joystick and this game
i played it from dawn till dusk the first day
that was my first marathon and i will remember it forever
after that it was duke nukem a friend installed on my pc with 20 floppy disks, doom demo, gta demo, warcraft ii, starcraft, MDK demo, blood, redneck rampage, i think the first thing i jerked off to on a computer were the strippers in duke nukem
some game where you walked around in a mech in first person on PC, in the late 90's. me and my friend would play and never actually figured out the controls.
Some game on a floppy disk where there are 4 players in a big square, each leaves their own trail of colour. You win if enough of the square has your colour.
Random "powerups" would also appear periodically, including one that temporarily froze your opponents.
Pic semi-related. Not the expansion pack, but the original game when it came out
>>336886615
Here's your (you), bait-kun
>>336885936
This, Doom 2 and Wolfenstein on DOS.
Also Lemmings.
But the first game ever was Doom 2, our pc would boot and you could pick to either play Doom 2 or go into Norton Commander the DOS OS.
>>336886316
Was the first game I bought with my own money.

Nobody here ever said that.
>>336885936
is that terrain trying to be green hill zone clone?
>>336886704
This was such a fun game, holy shit.
I loved the conjurer class for the bows and all kinds of crazy summons.
>>336885476
Quake 2 or Red Alert. Then I used to go to a friend to play Little Big Adventure.

I don't remember which game I played first, but I remember my first games on PC were X-wing vs Tie Fighters, a point and click Star trek New Generation game which I don't remember the name, Hover and that pinball game with W95. That was in 1996, when I was 8.

Either Simcity or something called Kid-CAD. They both came bundled on my parent's first PC.
it wasn't my first but since this is a vintage game thread, what was this one rts, around the cnc generals time frame, that had big almost cartoony graphics and was middle ages, ww2, and i think napoleanic era in one 'progression' style game? there was a fucking demo for it and i cannot for the LIFE of me recall what the game was. I know the demo was ww2 only.

>Queen is more important in chess
I hate this meme. Everyone thinks that chess is progressive or some bullshit because the queen moves more squares than the king. The truth is that it's a translation error where the word queen was similar to the word general. So, essentially, the general is at the king's side. It just so happened that the queen is also at the king's side, which brought this accepted confusion.

>>336891809
>Atari
>PC
>>336892443
It's still essentially the general being represented on the field, not the Queen, which makes sense. The general has the most power but the king is the most important piece. The queen just makes no sense, especially when chess is a recreation miniature version of warfare for fun.
If anything, it shows that memes just reshape the world.
