I'm curious. Name the first game that drew you into PC gaming, not your first game that you played period. I'm looking for that title that hooked you into a habit that (with some of us) may take 10% or more of our lives.
I'll start. The game that hooked me was the original M.U.L.E by Ozark Softscape. At the time I thought it was just ... unbelievable. I started playing it in 1983 on an old Atari 800 computer with three friends (the old 800 had four game ports on the front). I loaded it into memory with a cassette tape drive ... that is until I spent $300 (in 1994) on an 88K floppy drive (yay!). Load times decreased from 3 minutes to 10 seconds!
Well, what was your first?
