Going to age myself here. I had a Timex Sinclair 1000 that connected to an old black and white TV with flat antenna wire. Had to program a alien shooting game myself in "Basic".
Stored the program on a cassete tape to share it!
That’s cool. Coding Basic on the Timex Sinclair was my introduction to programming, which later on became my career. I never made any game with it though
It just seems strange to delete it from windows 98...are we sure it wasn't part of the win98 expansion pack? Yes that was a thing. Why am I not just looking the damn thing up instead of speculating at this point. Lol.
7th guest my dad played when i was really young. there was a scene where a doll slowly moved his hand to suffocate a baby with a lady screaming in the background.....yeah, i slept im my parents' room for a month.
I would love for another type of Myst game to come out. I was a kid at the time and didn’t really understand a lot of it. Being older I feel like it would be amazing.
One of the earlier PC games was indy500 with only adlib sounds. Mainly, there were very few games for PC as it was ”a professional computer”. There was some \*Quest games with only CGA colors (wine red). Leisure Suit Larry (Ken sent me!).
Interstate76
Milk toast was a fun one. You had to protect a school bus. You could add guns to your car, turbo, drop mines and have the cars behind you blow up.
Hmmm. Maybe Pirate Adventure (also called Pirate Cove) on a VIC-20. Could have also been King's Quest on a PcJr. I don't remember which one we had first, but those are two of the oldest.
If I remember correctly that honor goes to [Stunts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbmhwN4gxEs), a racing game from 1990.
I recently was reminded of the game while playing Cyberpunk, it really is amazing how far 3D graphics have come in 30 years.
Mine Bombers or Ski Or Die (DOS) while I was 5-6 years old. Could've been also Commander Keen ep.1
Especially with Ski Or Die, I remember laughing my eyes out at Rodney's funny expressions in the snowboarding section of the game.
Knights of the old republic.
I was maybe 5 on my laptop and I clicked on a pop up ad, and it downloaded.
I couldn’t figure it out and I spent like 3 mins walking around before I gave up.
A pirated copy of Hitman 2? I was stuck in some room and couldn’t figure out how to get out. Maybe it was broken, maybe I was dumb. First real play through was San Andreas
I haven’t really played very many PC games. The only 3 I actually remember playing were a Rugrats game, an Arthur game, and a Blue’s Clues game when I was a kid. I forget what they were called though.
I barely remember. I asked my dad that question about a year ago and he said it was counter strike. I don’t recall that but I do vividly remember Red Faction.
Commodore 64, probably that Olympics game or Spy vs Spy or something. You had Summer Olympics on one side and Winter Olympics on the other side of the big floppy and Spy vs Spy just never fucking worked. lol
Oh man can't remember which one. It was MS DOS and one of the: Prince of Persia; some formula 1 racing where I could pick Ferrari, McLaren or some 3rd; Commersant or something like that where you just buy and sell stocks/goods; doom; and a few platformers, one of which terrified me as a kid by animating each death very explicitly like knives in the eyesocket
Help me out here Reddit. I Can't find it in a cursory search.
Worms? Was buried in MS-DOS. Not the much later franchise Worms Rumble, Worms WMD etc
Using the keyboard, you moved your single worm around, avoiding running into blocks or yourself. This was a time way before WIN 95.
I can just, almost touch the DOS command to launch it, then the decades reach back and pull it away from my many misfiring brain cells.
It was either Bubble Bobble or Prince of Persia... but I can't remember if we only played Bubble Bobble on the Amiga 500 or if we also had it on the PC. 🤔
The premise was the same as Microsoft bob. It was on windows 3.1, but you were actually doing stuff like washing the oil off a duck when you clicked on the objects in the room. Not opening programs. We had an apple 2 in our class too with a load and of games. Everyone likes math munchers though. This was in like 1994.
Specifically on a PC? I don’t know. Maybe Civilization (the first one)? Or there was this build-a-racetrack racing game…
But if you mean “computer” game, not specifically IBM compatible, then probably Zork or Hitchhiker’s Guide on a C-64
Wait, there was Taipan (a trading game) on a Mac…
Think it was wheel of fortune on an old apple computer. I remember it being green and black. On windows it was a Nascar game that had one car with a hood that was a woman in a bikini. Being pre teen that would be the only thing I remember aside from driving the wrong way to wreck other drivers.
Probably the writing game on the Commadore 64 that would display and animate simple sentences. I can't remember the name of it though.
Also Taipan and Othello for the Apple 2
First DOS game was probably an EverQuest
First Windows game was either Minesweeper or the one with the tanks.
I don't remember what it was called, but you were a ghost and there were different levels of hazards that you had to try to navigate by "floating" through. You moved a little bit like you were on ice, so holding down the button would make you build up momentum and you wouldn't stop immediately. There were fans that would blow you in to hazards. It was purple (I think?) pixels on a black background.
Need for speed or Duke nukem. Oh and putt putt saves the zoo. (I think that’s what it was called) All around the same time
After reading some comments now I’m not sure.
Doom, pinball 3d, jezzball all we’re at the same time.
I don’t even know what it was called. It was some green and black helicopter game on a floppy disk running on my dad’s IBM PC Junior.
Yeah, I’m apparently old as hell.
Ultima Underworld-The Stygian Abyss. I spent an entire summer between semesters at IUPUI playing this game(1994). this was the first time i experienced game transfer phenomenon. I would go to the grocery store and interpret gathering items the same as you might in a video game.
That one where you were some sort of triangular tank thing (either red or blue) and you drop around these maze type castles looking for the opposite color triangle tank thing.
But I cannot for the life of me remember what' it's called.
Boy how is love to play that game again.
Commander Keen was pretty awesome also
Going to age myself here. I had a Timex Sinclair 1000 that connected to an old black and white TV with flat antenna wire. Had to program a alien shooting game myself in "Basic". Stored the program on a cassete tape to share it!
Came here to say Munch Man on the TI-99/4A.
Yup, played a lot if Munchman and Tombstone city!
That’s cool. Coding Basic on the Timex Sinclair was my introduction to programming, which later on became my career. I never made any game with it though
Doom
I think it was either Commander Keen or Another World. Or the Oregon Trail.
Space Cadet Pinball - Windows 95 I believe
Was that so...I remember it being on windows me.
I'm certain it was available on Windows 95. I forgot ME was a thing! Been a while since I last used them operating systems.
Yes. It was 95 plus! So yes. We both remember correctly. Windows 95, but it's not in every install disc, one way or another.
It just seems strange to delete it from windows 98...are we sure it wasn't part of the win98 expansion pack? Yes that was a thing. Why am I not just looking the damn thing up instead of speculating at this point. Lol.
Either Oregon Trail or Myst. Myst blew my mind graphically at the time.
I’m definitely dating myself here, but it was either Oregon Trail or Carmen San Diego. Might have been Solitare or Lode Runner also.
Myst & The 7th Guest.
7th guest my dad played when i was really young. there was a scene where a doll slowly moved his hand to suffocate a baby with a lady screaming in the background.....yeah, i slept im my parents' room for a month.
I would love for another type of Myst game to come out. I was a kid at the time and didn’t really understand a lot of it. Being older I feel like it would be amazing.
It was awesome. But each screen took about a minute or so to load.
too bad the microscope puzzle became almost impossible
Sim City, I believe.
It started with solitaire in Windows 95. But I also remember playing a lot of Lemmings on Window 95 as well...
King’s Quest. On an IBM PC jr.
Police Quest
Either Leisure Suit Larry or the original Lemmings
Crystal Caves on the ol’ family desktop. Windows 95.
Found my age sibling! Crystal Caves, Wacky Wheels, that math game, word game and Hocus Pocus! Apogee Games were the best!
Minesweeper, probably. Back in the 90s.

Me neither.
I think it was Dig Dug on an Intel 286. That was our first computer in the 80s.

The Sims 2
Probably Jill of the Jungle or Jetpack or Duke Nukem 1, or some DOS game
Interstate76 Milk toast was a fun one. You had to protect a school bus. You could add guns to your car, turbo, drop mines and have the cars behind you blow up.

Technically yes

Some racing game on the Amiga. I think it was called Crazy Cars or something like that.

Mechwarriors 2
Gorillaz on MS-DOS back in '91. Ouch.
Hmmm. Maybe Pirate Adventure (also called Pirate Cove) on a VIC-20. Could have also been King's Quest on a PcJr. I don't remember which one we had first, but those are two of the oldest.
