it's easy since when i was kid,video games just started to enter the living room of some lucky people.
so,it started with atari and philips consoles (today's ps3,xbox 360 ) and friedns of mine had some games like: combat and there was western and arkanoid and the best thing was that we played co-op with 2 joysticks at the same time (it was the mmo of this days )
at the mid 80's i finaly got pc of my own and it was commodor plus and i will never forget the many many hours i spend playing treasure island and harbor attack and bulder dush:)
my first pc came to me at 1990 i guess and i played alot with friend the north and the south and also there was game with pirats and ship fights and treasures...can't recall the name of that game,but this one hooked me too for long long happy hours:)
I wish I could remember, but I really can't. What I do remember is that it was text-based and on a 286. This was maybe 30 years ago or so.

Prince of Persia 1 on a 386 Took me ages - literally - to figure out how to take the damned sword

My first two games in 1993, I played at school. At that time I owned a Spectrum 128k + 2 and an Amiga 500.
Three yers later I bought my first PC, a Pentium MMX 166. I Think I still have the mother board on some of my boxes with the old stuff.
And boy it was a hard game, just watching a video of it brings back all the frustrations of the trashcan kitties and the pesky bottom dog. Think my record was like the 3rd stage and most of the time not even the 2nd..
edit: bonus, first game I played through before it was released, DOOM
Dizzy on the spectrum.
Flag on the spectrum.
Tank wars on a console.
ROTT or Skyroads on the pc.
I'm sure I played something before rott and skyroads but those made the biggest impact.

When I was very young, I remember my cousin had a commodore 64. So the first game was either Barbarian or Winter Games.
Several years later, I had an Amiga 500, and bought the first Lemmings game directly with it. But my father soon gathered a plethora of pirated games from friends at work.
For PCGames:
When I got my 486 DX2-66 (my first real PC), a few friends already had 386s and I dont really remember which Games I'd seen first. It could have been something with big Apes and Bananas on houses. I also remember something like "Robot I ", "Robot II". But there were other ones aswell, so I dont really know which one was the first exactly.
But I was always making fun of my friend with his 386, stating my Amiga 500 (upgraded to 2MB Ram) was so much better at Games.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
Hmm, well - I started out with a ZX-81 and didn't get my own PC until 1993 or something like that.
But I do seem to recall having a friend over to visit who brought a PC years before that. The game I THINK I saw was Leisure Suit Larry, which would make it around 1987.
However, the very first game I played was a ZX-81 "horse racing" game - which was basically a vertical row of the letters "A-G" or something like that - and they moved from left to right in a random pattern, and you could bet on a letter and you'd win if your letter was the first to reach the right side
Hehe - I was 6 years old and that was the beginning of my life as an enthusiast gamer.
However, PC games started to come into their own around 1990 or close to that time. I had an Amiga back then - and I can clearly remember how Wolfenstein made my jaw drop. Not long after, the PC had games like Alone in the Dark, X-Wing, Doom, Ultima Underworld and so on - and I just couldn't stay loyal to the Amiga anymore. I HAD to get a PC.
Played at someone else's house: PoP and aladin on a 486.
On my first PC it was Broken Sword 1, bought by my parents so i could learn english. once i got hooked onto the game and spent hours staring at the screen, they cursed the day they bought me a PC
poor fools, like the commodore 64 before that wasn't an indication of things to come
My first game was championship manager i think it was 1997 or somewhere round there, i used to 'PREY' to my brooo, pllllleassee givee mee pc pllllzzzz and was on that game for absolute eons.
Great game.
Actua soccer was the very first game here.

Not counting Commodore/Atari/ZX Spectrum. My first DOS PC game was Microsoft Flight Simulator 1, on AT&T PC with a monochrome/green screen.
Not sure if that's the exact model, but I remember it ran at something like 2.5MHz.
This is a really nice screenshot BTW. Most of the time you couldn't see much besides the horizon line. The game was amazing though. It came with a book which gave you bunch of scenarios (they called them adventures i believe) you could fly through. They gave you a story setup and bunch of location/weather/time etc. settings to input into the game to set it up. The game even at that stage covered the whole USA, however the skyline of Chicago consisted of one or two skyscrapers at the most. Nothing else. Still got the game and the book.
