>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
>get into trouble when we start making him curse
>>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.
Something like Crystal Caves or Chip's Challenge

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.
I still love this game.
>>336885821
Was it where you could land and rescue people? I really liked that game when I was little. Probably the first time I really got immersed in a videogame.

This shite here but using an old ibm pc with green screen. I was 6 or 7 years old, started playing vidjas pretty early
>>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).

It was either prehistoric, or battle chess.
Dont really remember it anymore.

fair enough, I suppose.
>>336887320
Misbehaving as a child. How horrible.
PCs were super expensive
>>336886194
I feel ya.
I remember this game (Return Fire) looking a lot better at the time.
I've been playing computer games longer than I can remember. My earliest memories of playing computer games involved this though.

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.

Free demo of AoE.
>>336887232
Its just a shitty AoE2 reskin
Was actually Prince of Persia but I was horrible at it so I pretend that it's pic related
>>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.

I can't remember how I was doing with this game, but I remember that uses everything in the keyboard for its controls
>>336886479
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.
>>336887942

It wasn't shitty senpai.

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.

I don't remember what game exactly was my first, but I'd say either Rune: Halls of Valhalla, Quake 2 or some Half-Life 1 mod

This shit got me into the ARPGs, played it at a friends house for hours!
We took turns at who is playing and who is drinking the potions! Ahhh, good old Pentium II
Wasted like 3k hours in Diablo 2 since then, another 2k+ in Path of Exile, and played every other ARPG in between.
Messing around in Grim Dawn now, enjoying the Titan Quest flashback.
>>336887658
I loved simcity 2000, but it could only be bought alongside this, populous and command and conquer.
Never regretted it for a moment - Populous 3 is STILL my all time favourite game.

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.
>>336891593
It was hard since poison was a pain in the ass, also there were those purple worms and rock/squids things that were hard to kill and and also had poison
I remember about abusing the gates of the dungeon to damage enemies while spamming what I could until getting reckt by a group of them
>>336892092
No joke, as kid, I wanted to join the army because of how much I loved Command & Conquer. Thinking that I would be that guy who would order troops around in an attack helicopter to victory.
>>336890326
you start in Khaz Modan though.
>>336892226
Kill yourself, this happened literally more than a thousand years ago.
Like legit, actual first game I ever played? This, it would crash if he went in the tree in his backyard.
First real game? The original Command and Conquer.
Commodore was the best shit ever. I think I was a lucky kid in this regard.
Battle Chess
Or maybe Rockford (Boulder Dash clone)
>>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.
>>336886316
This fucking right here
>>336886903

I also played a lot of Dark Reign as a kid. One of my first games along with Command & Conquer. I should really play it again.

It took me ages to beat Diablo I, until I switched over to the sorcerer from the rogue. The late game enemies were fucking ridiculous without the sorceror's massive damage and mana shield.
stayed up till like 5am playing it the first night i had it.
Woke up at like 1pm to find my younger brother broke all my lego and threw the pieces out on the grass... good times.
>>336886993
>"you're playing it, so I know it's awesome!"
thats so fucking cute anon
>>336892226
You spent so much text to post absolute bullshit. The chess-piece queen was developed in the 15th century from the Shatranj (original chess) piece called Fers that moves exactly one square diagonally, which makes it a rather weak piece.

>>336885637
God damnit boys we dont have much life left on this planet...
>>336892943
It was the first one I found, although CGA resolution with 4 colours wouldn't have been much higer (320x200) anyway.
>>336893136
>That's irrelevant.
It is not irrelevant, the original piece was called the Vizier and was a shit weak piece. In the 15th century the piece was renamed the queen in Europe and was given more power due to the queen-monarchistic period of that time. Educate yourself peon.
There was no such shit as 'general'.
>>336886025

Back in first grade.
In kindergarden I played some other old Mac games, but no names stand out.
>>336886025
Wait, the Tarzan game used 3D models?
Fuck me, I never realized.
I'm sure Number Munchers was somebody's first.
Was either this or Cross Country where you played as a truck driver.
>>336899416
yes
It was amazing, just like that Hercules game.
>>336899626
Yeah, but Hercules combined 2D and 3D art. This is pure 3D. I have no idea how I missed it. Looking at screencaps it's incredibly obvious, but back then it looked like any other Disney platformer to me. Actually, I thought it looked incredible. This is an awkward feeling.

And no I'm not 5 years old, I just never cared about video games before this since the games before weren't worth my time, this on the other hand showed how massive and fun a game can really be and it blew everyone away.
I know like 20+ people who had never even touched a video game controller before but this turned them into avid gamers so I know I'm not the only one.

I blame this game for making me a faggot engineer.

I had a blast.

Author drew every single sprite by capturing his brother doing acrobatic. So it was pretty damn cinematic.
This and other Humongous Entertainment games were my shit! Still haven't played them all though.
My PC came preinstalled with Worms+ Earthworm Jim, Earthworm Jim 2 and shareware version of Jazzjack Rabbit.

I don't remember the first. This is one of the first however.
Could've also been Lion King or Raptor.
I didn't understand it.

Still remember cheats that you could write in dos: prince megahit
I still vividly remember that blazing solo intro.
I played the shit out of this game

>>336907434
is this what you meant?
fuck I played this too, I thought it was megaman
>>336885476
I had to think real hard for this, it was either this or any one of the various Humongous Entertainment games I had when I was little, the main one being Pajama Sam.
>>336907547
Great game. I remember that part on the right very well. Once you cleared the checkpoint (wipes all your weapons) you had to dodge enemies to the very end to get some basic ammo and then backtrack and go up and kill an enemy blocking the way to progress to the next part but what I figured out is you can just jump over the checkpoint and breeze through the section with all your weapons from the previous part.
>>336892306
the purple worms were in EOB, right?

ha! a screenshot of the famous endless game of vciv2! wasfun when the article came out
I got into vidya pretty late. i remember playing this in 2007
My cousin macro's Tony Montano's "ey FUCK YOU MANG" soundfile to the Xenomorph's hissing command, so he would hide on the ceiling of whatever map and shout "HEY FUCK YOU MANG" at people who couldn't see him.
Funny shit.

give it rest, accelerators were expensive back then, and most games didn't require them yet,
>>336907748
nope, turns out i'm an idiot.
some anon mentioned it was Rockford, that's Megaman x on the snes but i remember it had a DOS port
>>336908529
Hm? What?
>>336908565
older gen games have more fov than current gen games
wow
It was also the first time I've realised why learning English is useful.
My father was actually making a chart and table, listing all pros and cons of games to buy back then and he decided this to be superior over Baldur's Gate, Settlers 2 and Tomb Raider 3. He then proceed to buy all three of those later on, in the order decided while making the original chart.
Good times.

Not sure, but probably pic related.
>>336885476
i never finished it because I remember being terrified by night time
>>336905109
Me too. This is the adventure game right?
this
>>336885720
The only game involving floting islands I can remember, apart from Netstorm, is Stratophere. Conqust of the skies- (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratosphere:_Conquest_of_the_Skies), which is more like a vehicle combat game genre-wise. What you are describing sound more like an RPG, anthe is a bunch of floating islands all over the Final Fantasy games and also one in Speterra core, as well, so I can´t help you further withour more clues.

Great adventures castle
Doom. I was 8 years old and I was with my mom at her work for one reason or another. It was probably a day we didn't have school or something. Anyway, she worked at the local police station, and there's not much for an 8 year old to do there. The LT comes into her office and asks to talk to her for a minute. They leave for a few minutes and when they come back, she tells me to go with him because he has something for me to do. I follow him to his office and he sits me down in front of his PC and fires up Doom. He tells me he showed it to my mom and she said it was fine for me to play it, so he showed me how to play and left me to it. So I got to play Doom for like 5 hours straight at the local police department as my first PC game. I think that's pretty cool.
>>336911142
Hey, each of them cost 1/8 of his month pay back then! Ever heard about budget management?
>>336910323
i love you anon, i've been looking for name of this game for 15 years

Something like this. Funny thing is I used to pretend it was star wars and the pellets I was eating was enemy ships.
>>336886194
It hurts that we got a Number 2 more.
>>336911329
Btw, this was 1993, so Doom was a brand new game at this point. I remember how cool I felt getting to play the coolest new game in the world, according to the LT.
A few years after that, somewhere around the tail end of 1996, my mom and my uncle got me my first PC for Christmas. It was a Gateway 2000 rocking a 166Mhz Pentium CPU with MMX technology. What the hell was MMX, anyway? Anyway, I don't remember how much RAM it had, but I know it had a 3.5GB hard drive, which was massive at the time. It had a CD-ROM drive, so among the games and other software it came with, I discovered Myst. That quickly became my favorite game, and when Riven was released I begged my mom for it for my birthday. I was blown away at the idea of a game that came on multiple CDs. That game felt like it was damn near endless to me, and many of the puzzles stumped me so bad I eventually bought a strategy guide for the game to help me out. That was a big god damn book.
>>336885476
Just recently found out that it wasn't Commander Keen but Crystal Caves. Also some game where you played a Pacman lookalike and digged through puzzle levels.
I also played Wolfenstein, Heretic and Pixelina.1994

I clearly remember playing the very first Duke Nukem, Secret Agent and Chip's Challenge as a tiny wee lad butall these games are older than me since I'm only 21.I don't know why but it always strikes me as odd when someone's first encounter with a medium is post-'00.
The Space Rangers games is one incredible gem of a series though.

waste of time, energy and money.
Playing co-op on the same computer with my brother. Felt goodman. Not sure if it was really the first game but it's close. That was almost 20 years ago so my memory is fuzzy.

Those games sucked dick, but man were they so much better than school.
Commodore 64. Don't remember the name of the game but you were basically a wizard that had to destroy another wizards castle. You would cast spells on it like lightning bolts and have to destroy the castle brick by brick to win.
>>336885476
I actually don't remember the name and can't find it anywhere.
Top-down view, you drive a tank. There are obstacles and fuel. I think you had to get from point A to B, or destroy some shit. Don't remember. It was in 91-92 I think.
first game was civ 2, used to play with my dad all the time.

Lords of the Realm 2.
My older brother made me play it when I was 4 years old, and honestly anything less complex than a strategy or tactics games bores me to this day, decades later. MOBA, FPS (minus a few squad-based team games), and most RPGs just don't satisfy me.
He ruined me as a toddler.
>>336916685
>Yeah, it's still functional though, so all is not lost
works fine for me too aside of some sound glitches here and there.
I don't remember, did it have multiplayer support?
