Doom2 Duke Nukem 3d worms 2 panzer dragon Quake I/II warcraft 2 However I was 5-6 years old... I remember I was afraid of the start of doom 2 ( Don't ask me why) but then, I didn't cared.

Corpus Vile Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 The Colonel's Bequest, or Commander Keen. Nice thread, I'd almost forgotten how much I hate old games. Link to comment
Sinister Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 A text adventure I think, no idea what the game was called though, memory is not the best these days, other stuff like UFO, Pools of Radiance, etc.......wow I feel old now.......but then again I am lol. Link to comment
FauxFurry Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It was either 'Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?' or 'Oregon Trail'. Either way,the only justification for playing games on PC at the time was for educational purposes (I don't recall if the term Edutainment had even been coined yet), so despite the fact that other PC games existed back then, I was only vaguely aware of that reality.

Yotix Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 First PC game ... I guess Wolfenstein 3D, around 1992, played on a MS-DOS 286 with an amber (orange) monochrome monitor which I borrowed from somewhere at uni. It had hotkeys to shrink the game's resolution so the game would only fill parts of the monitor, I remember playing on like a quarter of that 14 inch screen in order to have a better frame rate.The next one I played was much more memorable: X-Wing, played on the first 386 I ever set my hands on. At the time I didn't know Windows could change mouse sensitivity, so I played all night doing hundreds of 180 degree turns (where each meant moving the mouse by like a meter). When I couldn't move my shoulder the next day, I visited a doctor who told me I had a muscle inflammation in my shoulder ... and that I wasn't allowed to use the mouse for a week. I lasted about half a day. Link to comment

CanaryYellow Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I think maybe Willy Beamish. I was too young/dumb to figure out the puzzles so never made it very far. Or past like the third puzzle. Link to comment
ShinKartz Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hello, This has to be Heroes 3 demo back in 1998. Though apparently I nearly destroyed my older brother's copy of Street Fighter 2, when I was 3 Link to comment
MrJanus Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Red Baron. I actually bought it before I had my PC, simply to encourage me to go through with the purchase. Once I had that shiny box and all those disks, there was no going back. Link to comment

Killing Joke Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 First PC game as in x86 architecture I played was Lands of Lore, at my friend's home (didn't have a computer yet, only a Super NES). Great game, great memories. Link to comment
ketiax Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 A MS-DOS game, called News Boy I think, where you're playing a newspaper boy and try to deliver (aka throw) as many newspaper to houses as possible within a route. Either that, or Wizard (maybe) where, well, you play as a wizard in a 2d sidescroll game Link to comment
joemonco Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Betrayal at Krondor. The licensed game that was so good, Raymond Feist ripped it off for his next trilogy without giving any credit for the characters or plot elements he stole. Link to comment
Oversette Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 - Prince of persia for pc ibm 286 I'm not sure if it was that one or Commander Keen. I don't have fond memories of Prince of Persia since I didn't even know how to play it right and never advanced much. Link to comment
