Well then, it's either Silent Service, Red Storm Rising, or Subwar.

Actually, the first computer game I played and was addicted to was Dejavu for Macintosh... hell it was an interesting game!

I used to call it 'The Death Game' for no reason, even though it wasn't anyhow violent game.

An old game called Super Solvers : Outnumbered (1990), you went round a TV station, solving math challenges and zapping robots to try and defeat the evil Master of Mischief!!
The first real non-educational game I owned was Epic Megagames' little known platformer Xargon (1993), the only game ever with a hero called Malvineous. For some reason he could fire laserbolts magically from his hips, it was kinda like Jill of the Jungle for boys. I was gonna post a link to it from an abandonware site, but I'm not sure what the mods think of these sites?

My first PC game ever was Pac-Man, believe it or not. Actually, not sure you could classify a IBM computer with only a 286 CPU, 256 RAM, and only two flobby drives as a "PC".

First game I ever played was Commander Keen. Ahh good times. In my early years, I lived off shareware that my dad brought home for me. Entertainment for hours [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

My first bought game was the Lucasarts Star Wars pack. It is still, to date, the most expensive game I have ever bought, at 74.99 ! Wow, I can't believe I paid that [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif] Good times though.

I love Xargon, but you forgot to mention that Malvineous was a super buff archaeologies who dwarfs Arnold and yet still fits in a submarine that size of a shoe Box, who fell through a dimensional rift, and was told by a talking eagle that his is destined to save the world... Good time… Good times…

First game I ever played was Oilswell, a sort of Pac-Man ripoff that came with my old 386. First game I bought was X-Wing, for the same system.

I remember when I bought TIE Fighter, expecting to work. Kept running out of memory, so I decided to delete some of the things that were using up the most memory. One of them being dblspace.sys [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif] Oh man, was that ever fun. Thank god the command prompt came back up, and that I had all 6 of my Windows 3.1 disks, otherwise I would have been computer-less until well after JK came out.
