I think it was from a compil of games that my cousins gave me.

 

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.

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.

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.

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.

WarCraft: Orcs and Humans

Dune (The Point and Click one)

Descent (Pretty much my first FPS)

 

But then StarCraft was released and I've never played any other game ever again (except Age of Empires II)

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. :D

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

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.

- 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.
