For me it was project I.G.I it was on a friends PC and i was just blown away by the graphics,
compared to my current consoles, he also showed me counter strike, and the first time i picked up mouse and played it a bit, within 30 seconds i got a headshot as my very first ever play on a PC.

What really made me play on the PC was Lego Universe (search it up), it was my first multiplayer-videogame, but it was such a shame that it was shut down.

WoW was my first PC game.. I lost nearly a year of my life to that game. And i mean actual year, awake and playing, over a few years but still.

TF2 was the first FPS i got into, and while they've kinda... fallen.. It's still one of my more cherished games. 3865 hours played.

What i'm waiting for_ Hawken patch, Then Smash for WiiU/3DS. Although, I'd love to grab pikmen 3.

Hard for me to say, I was mostly a console boy since the day I started playing video games. I had played plenty of PC games every now and then, but didn't have a PC that could run anything high end at the time, so I stuck to console. Until last year I got myself a gaming PC and I have never really looked back.

First PC games I played: Command and Conquer Series, Delta Force, Myst

Games I'm looking forward too: Watchdogs, The Division, Battlefield 4

Elite and M.U.L.E. on the C64 was always a lot of fun, but my first PC game was Elite: Frontier........such a disappointment compared to the Elite on the C64.

Morrowind is still the most memorable PC game I ever played.........the first couple of days I just walked around being amazed by the environment.......yes, those were the days that games actually lasted longer then 10 hours.

Oh Morrowind! Oh... the memories, the time spent trying to find stuff around. Those were the days when no one held your hand dragging you through every stage of a quest... The exploration, the adventures... Morrowind has a special place in my heart.

Sorry grandma, didn't know you were in the same age demographic I was in. My mistake I was only talking about ME.

[Bwnerstorms]

The games that sealed the deal for me were Counter Strike, and Dark Age of Camelot.
DAoC blew my mind- I was at a friends house and he had just gotten the game. He was running around as a Highlander and, when I saw other people running around, the full scope of the game hit me. I had never heard of an MMO before, and while the concept seems mundane now- it was Profound at the time.
Other notables of the same era: Red Alert 2, Age of Empires 2, UT and Quake.
I always liked FPS games on console, but the keyboard/mouse combo is so much more effective imo.

[meeba]

Somewhat apt, the first online game was Heavy Gear 2...sadly I had more fun in the demo than the actual released game, but it introduced me to an online community I'm still a part of.

I use to wait 30minutes for games to load off tape. Watching the loading screens draw one pixel line at a time.
I remember floppies... ridonk loading times that only the rich kids njoyed

[Fantus_Longhorn]

The first games that got me hooked_ Crystal Caves, HugoWhodunit 2 and Word Rescue. All from Apogee and I would have been about 4 at the time. I then ended up with a Sega MegaDrive II for a while and got back into PC games with Diablo. After that it was several years of Unreal Tournament.

[Creepy_Hitchhiker]

On PC_ It was Doom on Uncle's PC.
I've played earlier on Atari. I don't remember which model, or titles of games, exept River Raid. I liked to play pseudo 3d racing game (with day/night system). Also I played on NES. To be precise, it was copy of japanese Famicom known as Pegasus.
