My first PC game was a drawing program called Kid Picks.  The first real time strategy games I remember getting addicted to where " Sim City One / 2000," and " Castle: Siege and Conquest."  Am I the only one who remembers Castle ?  In Castle the object was to conquer the surrounding kingdoms without pissing off the Pope.

My first computer game was "Willy Wabbit" that I got for Christmas '96.

Other than that we also had games that came with the Mac when we bought it like "Lode Runner", and "Power Pete".  I used to play LR ALOT.

I can't think of what it was. It was either an interactive story book or a pinball game.

My first PC game, or atleast the earliest one I remember was Doom 1.  My dad was a huge gamer, so I had alot of PC games, and still do, lol.  I actually still have Doom1 and 2 on Floppy's

Now the first game I ever played was on my aunt's computer back in 1995. It was Freddie Fish. I still have it and many other original Humongus Entertainment games.

I played a variety of PC games in the 90's, Sim City 2000 is probably my favorite, but I also liked the following:

Power Pete, Text Adventures, Mac Ski, Slick Willy, Number Munchers, Oregon Trail, Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, Myst, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! (There was also a Price is Right game but it kinda sucked).

Loved Oregon Trail, it OWNS!

Oh snap! How could I forget Oregon Trail :P.  We played that in school and our class won a Pizza party.

The first PC game I ever owned was in 1994 called "Megarace". 

It was a cool racing game, that worked like a reality game show.  It was set in the future, and the object was to shoot and destroy all of the cars before you completed three laps.  If you ran out of ammo, you could sideswipe the cars, but at the same time run the risk of destroying yourself.  After each race, were segments hosted by this annoying bald dude named Lance Boyle

Not sure if it was the same version, but we had a PC with games on it in 8th grade in the Computer Lab with Sim City on it. I used to love that one too (since I'm into Back to the Future and decades, etc. I had fun building roads and cities and seeing how it developed over time. I think the starting year was 1900 and you got to go ahead 100 years, lol).

That's where I played Oregon Trail too. That was my fave, although it got frustrating in the hunting sequences when the little animals only gave you 1 point of food. I also recall the theme music reminded me of Neil Young, too. ;)

I remember playing 'Frogger' on my dad's really old IBM Computer (it took the full-sized floppy discs - the ones which are actually 'floppy' ;D). That must've been about 1991-92. I remember playing games such as 'Monkey Island', the original Sim City.etc at home. We had 'Carmen Sandiego', this maths/detective game, and other educational games on the old school computers.

Man, most of my computer games are from the '90s. They just don't make them like they used to. The only two modern games I like are SimCity 4 and Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Wow, I just happened to stumble on this post.

You guys are taking me back. Doom, Oregon trail, and so on.

How about these:

Rise of The Triads
Where is Carmen San Diego?
Heretic/Hexen
Corridor 7
Hugo's House of Horrors
Wind Commander
Tie Fighter
Simon the Sorcerer
Gabriel Knight
Alone In the Dark
King's Quest
Full Throtle
Monkey Island

Don't know if anyone remembers these, but, hopefully they will trigger some memories.
