Forums - PC Discussion - What game made you a PC gamer?

PC gaming is as old as console and many people got addicted to gaming because of it (hence PC Master race).

So what was the game that got you hooked into PC gaming over consoles, what was some of your first games?

For starters Im a Gamer not a designated game ;)

But to answer your question, EverQuest was the game that REALLY introduced me to PC gaming in a big way. I played it for 12 years. Only stopped because the people I had been playing with for years all quit for various life reasons. It will forever be my favorite game!

...uhh...ill just put my favorite quote of all time here.

"Welcome to Pain, the second of three...You have dealt the first...now deal with me!!"

I got into PC gaming thanks to shooters like Quake III and Counter-Strike 1.6, since everyone was playing them at the time!

Pool of Radiance or something. Thankfully I outgrew PC gaming and now play on consoles like a real man.



1991: Sid Meier's Civilization, followed by The Secret of Monkey Island.

I used to game quite a lot with my brothers on PC when I was little, and we played a lot of strategy games, such as War Lords, Civilization, Third Reich and such. But there were a lot of other games as well. But that's the main reason why I've always stuck with PC; I love strategy games.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

It was actually PS2 games that got me into PC gaming.

My most beloved console of all time, brought me together with my currently most beloved platform for gaming,funny how things work out.



Text adventures (infocom)... very hard to play with a joystick or gamepad.

Followed by other parser based graphic adventures (King's Quest, Space Quest) and mouse based games (Maniac Mansion, Zak McKracken, Civilization...



Diablo, Baldurs Gate, Icewind Dale, Quake, Unreal Tournament are some of the main games that got me into pc gaming. Lineage 2 is a game I played for about 8 years and its will forever be my all time favorite gaming experience.



When I found out my Laptop could run Super Street Fighter IV AE on max settings.
