Good lord, there are a lot of replies to this thread. Oh well, one more couldn't hurt.

Hmm...tough call, though. The first game for computer that I remember playing and enjoying was Ghostbusters, followed closely by Oregon Trail. However, I didn't really get into a game until Wolfenstein 3D.

The first game I bought on my own was Quest for Excalibur, and the first game that I bought and actually enjoyed was Quest for Glory 1 (the VGA remake, although I did play a few of the text-based Space Quests before that).

Hell, I still enjoy Quest for Glory nowadays, if I can actually get it to run.

And yes, Civilization owned everyone's soul.

I played space quest on an apple IIGS.

Played Rise of the Triad a bunch of years later.

Played Baldur's Gate a bunch of years later, and that is the one that got me into playing video games.

Wacky Wheels, which I had, was a prro rip-off of Super Mario Kart - which I also had . . ..

The very first PC game I ever played was Space Goose.

The ones that really got me on them was (on my brother's PC)
- Wolfenstein 3D
- Crusader: No Remorse
- Diablo
- Icewind Dale
- Baldur's Gate
- Worlds of Might & Magic - this was my first true "addiction" to games . . ..
