PS: my socks are dirty....

First PC was a PCjr. First game was Zork, I think.

A Performa 6320/120 CD with a gargantuan 1.2 GB hard drive. It came with the original Mac port of Descent bundled, and it was the greatest damned thing I ever played.

My first home computer that I didn't share with my brother (he had a Speccy) was the Commodore Plus/4. The first game I played on it was Treasure Island.

My first actual PC was a 386 I think but I can't remember the specifics. No idea what my first game on it was.

I don't know about PC, but my parents bought our very first computer when I was about 5 in the very early 90s - it would have been the Macintosh Classic II, so not exactly a PC. I remember having a lot of educational programs on that computer, we had Math Rabbit and Reader Rabbit, spent an unusually large amount of time playing around in Kid Pix and also played a game, if you can call it that, called McGee. I tried for ages to find evidence of its existence, and then just over a year ago noticed LGR had it in his collection. Earlier this year I also found a video of it on YouTube, although that was the Amiga version, not the Mac.

A few years after that we upgraded to a Colour Mac and it came with a copy of the game Myst. I must have been around 9 or 10, and considering what I was like as a child, I should have found its atmosphere quite creepy, but for some odd reason found it relaxing. I managed to solve 3 of the ages without a walkthrough! We also had The Simpsons Virtual Springfield and Cartoon Studio, but most of the games we played on this computer came in the form of demos that were on a CD that came with a magazine called Mac World.

We must have got our first PC in early 2000, and we didn't have many games on it, because it was the first computer we had that had Internet access, so we were kept busy with that, but around July, we got The Sims, and for Christmas that year, between me and my sister we got The Sims: Livin' Large, Rollercoaster Tycoon and Sim City 3000.

So first game on first computer, if you count edutainment and Macs would be McGee, If you don't count edutainment, it would be Myst, and if you only wanted PCs, then The Sims.

An HP Pavilion xt953 running Windows ME and a copy of Driver.

I technically used an eMachines one first when my grandparents got a PC back in 99 but the previously mentioned computer was the first I owned. For a kid getting into computers in the early 2000's, it was a dream come true but man... in retrospect that computer put me in an abusive relationship thanks to its specs and Windows ME itself. I loved the abuse, yet it gives me PTSD thinking about it making it my own personal Vietnam.

My first semi-PC was the Dragon. I consider it more of a type of a console with two controllers, using an ordinary cassette player to play off the sounds from a cassette, which the Dragon then interpreted and displayed. I was never exposed to the internal OS, mainly because I was too young. Think I had two games... Frogger was one of them.

Apart from that, I was a late bloomer when it came to PC's. My first real one was a Compaq with Intel Pentium 90 Mhz (mmx?) and Windows Blinds or something (worst thing I've ever tried). It costed about 15.000 NOK - which I managed to wreck in about 4 hours. Then my step-father helped me to install Dos + Win 3.10 or 11.

(This was around the corner before Norway officially got internet for everyone. Norway was actually the first country outside the US that got connected to the early stages of the internet.)

Can't really remember what the first game was (maybe captain comic, test driver or doom). There were many and I played lots at my friends too (most got their PC's WAY before I did). I only remember the horrid long and painful loading times, especially on Carmageddon. That's when I opted to buy a computer with an intel pentium 166 MMX, Enough to run both Carmageddon AND Unreal at reasonable speeds :-D

Mine was the most standard PC you can get at that time and running I think a Windows 98.

I was living in Missouri at the time and the only games I had for the PC was this Sierra 3-D Pinball and this:

But my first TRUE PC game that really showed me PC gaming was Starcraft 1 and Half Life 1.

If I remember correctly, the first truly mine was the P133 with whatever configuration was the most standard at the time.

As for my fist game, it had to be something on my dad's 386 or something before that. I remember him playing alone in the dark quite clearly (mostly the part where I ran out the room from fright), and I remember playing some black and white platformer. It was likely Prehistoric, but I'm not completely sure.

My first computer was Pentium II 266 MHz, 32 Mb RAM with Voodoo2. It was a beast.

First game I have played on it was Atlantis, however, the first game I have ever played was DOOM.

Pentium 2 233MHZ, 32MB of RAM and TNT
Mechwarrior 2's Ttanium Trilogy was my first PC game.

My first very own computer was an eMachine with an Intel Celeron 400 Mhz that my Mom bought for me at Circuit City after I moved to the States in '98. This was supposed to be a "school" computer. Suffice it to say, I played way more games on it than I ever did school work. ;)

I'm not entirely sure what my first PC game was. I'd like to say The Settlers on our Pentium 60. That is, if you didn't count our old C64 and Amiga 600 as home computers.

My first computer was a Compaq Pressario 100mhz. I don't remember the first game, but I remembered playing Betrayal at Krondor quite a bit, which is still the best CRPG I've played to this day.

I remembered when Gamespot used to host freeware games and I played a few of those. I ended up playing a lot of emulators honestly until I could afford to build my own PCs.

My dad's first computer was an Apple 2. I remember a fascinating game that I think was called Colossal Cave Adventure.
What should really count is my own first pc, which if I recall correctly was a 486 SX. The guy at the store was cool and installed Doom (the first one) on it. I had inklings here and there about gaming from coin ops and Odyssey, but that rig and Doom were the genesis of my identity as a gamer. That gateway drug led to deeper parts of this addiction such as Heroes of M&M, the gold box games, and Master of Magic.

Well, assuming we're talking what we would call today a "PC" and not the TI-99/4A I had (or the TRS-80 I got as a hand-me-down), mine was a Tandy 1000-EX.

The first game I got for it (which I may or may not have bought at the time I bought the computer itself) was King's Quest III. I was blown away by the ability to play as a living character in a cartoon, in which I got to decide what actions I was going to take (which was how I thought of the game when I first laid eyes on it). I fell in love instantly with the Sierra series of adventuring "Quest" games.

KQ3 came on 3 disks, and it was so exciting when I'd complete one entire area & be prompted to insert Disk 2 because it meant I was making progress! And then Disk 3! Why did I need to switch disks? Because there weren't hard drives yet, duh!! But I also remember being amazed by an article in "Compute! Magazine" that showed me how to partition some of my RAM into a ROMDisk (which essentially functioned like today's hard drives).

I also remember upgrading to 640k so I could play King's Quest IV when it came out (it needed 512k, but I wanted to go big). Ah, the memories....
