Falcon 3 on a 286/16 with no sound and a B&W screen.

Been a flight sim junkie ever since.

Elite for the ZX Spectrum. Still up there on the hours spent playing rank.

First strategy game was Arnhem, a world war 2 wargame made by a fellow called R.T. Smith. I was pleased to find his name among the credits of MTW, almost 20 years later.

I believe so. Wasn't that the one that came with two colors (silver or black) and the larger keyboard with the monstruous 128KB?

memories :)

my first pc game, the one that got me addicted, was civilisation. I spend countless hours playing Civ on a computer at the university informatic lab. Then i quickly shift to the CloseCombat series.

The first game that I bought for a PC was Aces over the Pacific... The fact that I couldn't get AOTP for the Amiga 500 was a major influence in my purchasing the PC ( a 386 DX40

)
