Your First PC Games - SP & MP

Post by Lucky9Two »

I saw some of this in the other thread, so I thought I'd make one about it.

What were your first PC games? More specifically, what were your first solo and online enabled games.

My first PC game was Lego Rock Raiders.
My first online game was Army Men RTS.

First ever computer game: I can't really remember, but I think it was some educational game thing (perhaps Math Blaster? :P ).
First offline RTS: Age of Empires (1) (simultaneously with Seven Kingdoms II: The Frythan Wars, but not the way you're thinking - I'm not that good at multitasking)
First online RTS: N/A (that's right, I've never played a RTS game online before)
First offline FPS: C&C: Renegade (yes, I'm aware it has multiplayer, but I didn't have internet access at the time), followed closely by Return to Castle Wolfenstein (I was playing through both simultaneously)
First online FPS: CS 1.6 (LAN mode) / Battlefield 2 (iirc it was my first internet multiplayer game, memory's a little fuzzy here)

[Off-topic]
Don't mind me, verbose mode always active for me.

Edit:
That reminds me, I haven't heard the soundtrack of Seven Kingdoms II in ages now.
This sure brings back memories. This game was definitely much more complex than Age of Empires.
Apparently, Valve can't make games beyond the number 2.
I think the only time we'll get a Source SDK code update is when it starts having purchasable hats integrated, i.e. hatconomy.

Please do not make assumptions you are not knowledgeable enough to make - that just backfires on yourself.
Tick me off, and I'll be sure to give you the golden treatment. Haven't you heard? Silence is golden.

First ever computer game: Not sure, but i think it was a Snake game or Wolfstein 3D on a IBM computer.
First offline RTS: Not sure on this too. I´ll say the demos of Sudden Strike (II?) and Homeworld.
First online RTS: Never played a RTS online.
First offline FPS: Deus Ex (FPS? i would say it as action-adventure-puzzle, but well...).
First online FPS: CS:CZ.

I´ll expand this:

First ever console game: Sonic 2 and Mercs (Sega Megadrive-Genesis).
First sports game: Fifa 95-Track and Field?.
First RPG game: Pokemon (is a RPG, right?).
First terror game: Resident Evil
First fight-arcade game: Street Fighter (II?).
First arcade game: Die Hard: Arcade and Metal Slug.
First car-racing game: A old game on my IBM computer called Indianapolis 500 (F1).
First platform game: Tomb Raider III demo.
First "Pistol-light" game: The House of the Dead and Jurassic Park.

First console: Sega Master System II.
First handheld console: GameBoy Color.
