Some tank game and crossword game played off of cassette tapes.

This may have been it, though I remember walls:

 

[Javi3rPR]

My first PC game was Karateka.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

My first PC game was Karateka.

That's the non-Shinobi ninja game I used to have! I could never remember the name of it. ****ing Karateka.

 

[Possessed Freak]

Math Blaster for the Apple II
Decathlon for the PC

 

[CrackRabbit]

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Either Their Finest Hour or Silent Service Two I can't remember which I played first

 

[KeithTalent]

The Bard's Tale is what I remember: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhhuCIlGEPU

I probably played something prior to that, but it's the earliest one I remember.

Couldn't play Mechwarrior 2 because my computer didn't have enough RAM and so my uncle had to make a boot disk.

Should have learned my lesson then. 20 years later, I think I've spent just as much time tweaking PC games as playing them.

 

[Revolution 11]

The first game(s) I remember were Duke Nukem (the side-scrolling one) and Rampage on a very old DOS computer.

I don't know how I managed to use DOS and get to the games at the age of 4 yet I am completely clueless about DOS now.

16 MB EDO RAM, if I recall correctly. Later upgraded to 32MB.

C64 flimbos quest, freddies something circus and a driving/shooting game by ocean. Would come home from school at lunchtime and play whilst eating popcorn, goodtimes

 

[Majcric]

I couldn't think of the name either so I just called it kung fu. remember playing this in grade school

There was also some 3D maze game in DOS...but no clue what it was.

Woah, this looks really similar to Wheel of Fortune for DOS, another one of my earliest game memories. It's another gameshow game of course so it was probably made by the same dev.

 

[Modeps]

We had a TRS-80. There were some crappy games for it but I just learned BASIC and wrote programs like:

10 print "Kathleen smells"
20 goto 10

 

[HeXen]

I think it was a game on a TRS-80 our school had but the earliest game I recall that I can identify is of course Oregon Trail. That game taught me that our pilgrim ancestors should have never lived.

 

[TheSlamma]

Mine was C64 and Apple ][+ all you guys with the ][e's had it made

Damn rivers man, I tell ya

 

[pontifex]

Oregon Trail in school on an Apple IIE maybe?

then at my uncle's who had a Tandy 1000 - Lemmings, some 3d space tank game, some jungle game.

after that a friend had a 386 or maybe 486 pc and Command and Conquer

Got my first PC shortly after that, a 486 66mhz, i think 8 mb of ram, no graphics cards

First PC game I ever played was Nibbles, my first played 3D PC game was Robocop 3D, and the first pc game I ever bought with my own money was a stand alone version of Team Fortress Classic.
