Golden Axe, considering just PC games. However, having little access to a computer was a problem.
For Sinclairs, there was a game named Ripper

Great PC games for me in chronological order (?):
Zork
Archon
Choplifter
Harpoon
Civilization
Doom
Starcraft


EDIT: These all represented different games on mostly different computers, from Atari 800 up through late-90's Pentium 2. BTW, I'm assuming that by PC you didn't mean IBM PC (Wintel) descendants only.

 

[Tauren]

Ultima - Played on my Apple IIe

 

[sjetexas]

The original Police Quest I. God I loved that game.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Duke Nukem 3D. I had a friend with a home network and we spent hours blasting each other in this game.

Diablo and AOE wasted far more of my time though.

Either LHX or Dune II.

LHX was a helicopter game, and Dune II is what started the whole the entire real-time simulation games such was Command&Conquer, Total Annihilation, etc.

carmageddon 2

 

[Rock Hydra]

Age of Empires.

Oh man, Wing Commander was awesome. That and the original x-wing are the two games I really got into when I started gaming.

 

[spacelord]

Way Back: Ultima IV

A bit more recent : Doom or Descent

 

[arcenite]

i'd have to say half-life, i played many other games, but half-life (and mods) is the only game I'm still playing today since the day it came out (what does that make it...7...8 years?)

 

[ziplux]

Escape Velocity on the _Mac_. Now that's old school

 

[Queasy]

D&D Gold Box Edition of Pool of Radiance
Civilization
and Wing Commander

 

[randalee]

Man -- I was hooked by ZORK. Anyone still play that? There is now a site that has all the old Infocom text games in Java online!
