Oh yea; around the time of the IBM pc there was a computer called (I think) victor 9000; under CPM it had some great games - some sort of space/astoriod game and some sort of lunar landing game and a few others. This was a very interesting computer unfortunately less than a year later CPM was out and DOS was in and the games depended on certain memory being free (basically DOS took out 1/2 of one frame buffer due to high/vs low memory layout between the two OS.

TRS 80 - In the Hall of the Mountain King

First computer I ever owned, 16kb ram. I had to run to radio shack to buy a cassette recorder to save my basic programs. How things have changed.

golden duck shoot or something, dune 2000, AOE2 ... im not sure which one was the first, i had a PC at home for a brief period in 1997-1998 and I think also in 1999 in the classroom (only one classroom for 3rd grade had one really weak "portable" PC with a bunch of id software games - the PC i had at home I got dune 2000 from a friend and AOE2 from a fathers friend, but that office computer got ruined 3 times so father taken it way until 2004 when we got broadband and a new family PC, played a lot of GCN and N64 in the meantime which got me into zelda and metroid prime, but i haven't been really established on PC until 2008 when I got my own high-end PC, ofcourse custom built.

It's a too deep hole of gaming trivia, sometimes I wish I could go back to those places and turn those old PCs up to see what else really was on them I forgot.

I also played a game called Prehistoric at friends house, the name of the game was so funny so we had many jokes about it, it's a caveman running around hitting with the stick.

My 2 friends down the road and also classmates were way more advanced early on when it came to PC hardware, software, gaming, PC maintenance & troubleshooting, overclocking, they were around 12 years old and they knew all the stuff and they usually played Counter Strike and Quake later in the 2000-ies, but that's just because their parents could afford those expensive GPUs, PCs and internet service to give them a huge platform to learn on, one of the guys built a really good PC but only had one, the other guy got above average but he had like 3 PCs in the house with one, father worked at some economic-strategic-logistic company that just bought new PCs every 2 years and instead of throwing away he could just bring them home a few.

On a Tandy 8088 playing Roger Wilco and PGA Tour Golf, however I wasn't into PC gaming that much since I was playing my NES a lot, but it wasn't until DOOM and Wolfenstein 3D- those FPS games got me hooked.

But played games on an Apple IIc and Comodore 64 before that too.
