The first games i ever played on PC, around 23/24 years ago was as it turned out, the best game i would ever play period! My friend introduced me to it first, on his Amiga 2000, so i immediately went out and got that same computer for myself, just so i could play 'Speedball 2' by the Bitmap brothers.

 

I had always assumed i would eventually find a better game one day, so i never bothered to keep the old Amiga. But as it turns out, that was a mistake because in all these years i have never found a better game of that genre neither can i ever find an Amiga emulator for windows computers that actually works - probably due to the fact that the people who made the emulators seem incapable of writing even the most moderately coherent installation instructions !!

 

 Remembering:  Bash center forward, bash goaly, score! repeat enough times and they die!! ahhh those were the days,,, sound effects satisfying to a tee!!

funny thing about old games... when i was a kid with barely any english... there was this fantasy game with staff +1

obviously i didn't know staff means stick. nor did i know +1 refers to enchantment.

 

so i was wondering why the party size didn't increase...

I am assuming you aren't including things like Minesweeper or Chip's Challenge?(Actually, maybe that one counts...)

Starctraft I believe was the first real computer game I ever played.  At least, that's what got me hooked on PC games.  (Although I do still prefer the non-"laggy" games playable on consoles...

I'd say Privateer.  I was around six and needed some help from an older brother but I still figured out how to play.  Either that or Jane's U.S. Navy Fighters.  One time in the expansion for Jane's the two of us did a hack to enable the Aurora spy plane and I flew so high the OS went batshit and crashed with an error message.

back in the dim dark distant days of yor(approx 1979 in my highschool's NEW computer class), I played a game on a trs-80 model 1 level 2 4k ram called 'snake' that drew the 'snake' on the screen using the 'block' graphics that the player steered around the screen using four keys, and when the 'snake' hit a side or itself the game ended, and after I learnt some programming I started creating my own version of the game with a few little extras, but it was basically the same game

I used to play this as well.

My first PC was a tandy 16 colors with a very big and powerful 20 megs hard disk.

 

My very first game on that thing was Death Knights of Krynn and Eye of the Beholder.

 

However my very first video game was Pac Man on the Atari 2600.  ahhh the hours I spent on that stupid game... that and Plaque attack...

Pong. Our father had the opportunity to loan it from somebody for a couple of days in the early 80's. First computer we had was C64, but I really don't remember what were the first games we had on that...

I had an Amstrad CPC 464 and Sega consoles, but my first ever PC game was Ultima Underworld 2. As a result there's been a lot of disappointments since.
