I still remember with fondness the first time I ever played a PC game. It was Home Alone on my Dad's 286 laptop that he brought home from work. I remember the object of the game was to set traps within a certain time limit, after which the burglars would enter the house. If I recall correctly, you had to get the burglars to hit as many traps as possible. I don't think I ever won it. Also, I believe that the laptop wasn't capable of displaying colours, and I played it on grayscale.
Anyone remember this game? Or care to share what the first game you ever played was?

Gosh.. The First PC game I ever played was Prince of persia. I really used to enjoy this game. I think I was about 8 years old if I remember. I used to watch my elder cousin play that game a lot and I so very well remember how I had bugged my father to get that game for me as well. Those were the days of school, I so miss them. I used to be on the game straight away as I was back from school and my parents used to be like yelling at me. Good old childhood days :(

I played Prince of Persia way back too! The newer games are so different now - back then when I played it I think I was too young to know how to play properly - don't think I ever made it past the third stage or so, and fighting with the sword was insane. Very unforgiving game, but the controls were so smooth for it's time. I agree. Excellent times in the past.

Ah... I remember that - isn't it called snake? Or is it called snake only in the Nokia phones?

hi there twistedties,
the first PC game that I played was minesweeper as far as I can remember. lol. well for the fact that its a pre-installed game so I guess that was the first game I played and I could remember that I was 4 years old at that time and I was in my cousin's house and we have nothing to do so he opened the computer and let me play that game and at that time I really can't understand the objective of the game..haha

Ah... I was never really good at minesweeper. Still not that good at it. :P Playing it at 4 has gotta be pretty tough though...

This is an interesting game and I am sure that a lot of people play PC games and remember the first one they ever played,and I am not sure about the game you are speaking of but it does sound like fun,and I am not sure about the first PC game I ever played but the first one I remember that I had a lot of fun with was Diablo 2 which is an awesome game and you do quests and level up your characters,and you can also play online with other people which made it a lot of fun,and I loved that you could find rare sets of equipment on single player,and I remember I would go through and try to find them all because they had a list of all the sets online,even though it has been years since I played so I do not know if they still have it online,have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

Blizzard games! Wow you've got to be pretty young then. :) I guess you're waiting for the release of Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 as well! Hope it comes out soon before I end my school life and have to start work. I suspect I'd never get to play then. Heh. I'm a bit wary of starting WoW - I've seen friends who got absolutely hooked hehe.

well, if i remember correctly i think the first game that i played on my pc was "midtown madness". oh man that was a fantastic game, i loved it that time, you won't believe me but i didn't had any graphic card installed at that time and that game required a card, that game used to rum laggy and crappy but i still was a big fan and i used to play it for long hours.
