I was reading though the forums and I saw the one about old games people were trying to remember the name of and it made me remember the first game I ever remember playing. It was a game called 'the lost tribe' and you had to get your tribe from one side of the map to the other while trying to balance speed, saftey and hunting. It was old old old like when the best computer was a 386 old, but dang it was a blast.

As an added bonus I've included a link to a site which distrubutes old games whos licence has run out and u can grab them for free.

I want to hear about your old gaming experiences and if you find a good oldie on the site let me know. I'd love to play them again.... for old time's sake.

The first good PC game I played was Dark Messiah: Might and Magic.
I was completely in love with it at the time. I'm sure some will disagree with it being good, but it was good in my eyes.

Well I am pretty young so I guess I might be a little out of place here, after all I am just just 16. But my first time I saw pc and gaming experience were when I was 3 years old. Funnily the first thing they let me try was playing Wolfstein spear of destiny, I love that game and suprisingly my mother kicked ass in it! She even played quake, doom 2 and duke nukem 3d with me, god bless my childhood.

Btw why is the good part in " "?

I played a lot of educational games when I was little, but the first one I was really into was Tibia. That's right an MMO! I was.. 7, 8? back then and now I feel really bad that was my first real gaming experience.

Cause these games were SUPER AWESOMENESS EVA back in the day but if I gave this game to my little brother now he'd be like WTF DUDE and throw it at my face and play his 3DS and laugh at me.

I still think they are good.... screw him.

That was like 2 years ago when they did that.....
Maybe it was a demo. I remember playing it an obscene amount, nonetheless.

Nutrigrain if I recall correctly, possibly a promotion for Age of Mythology.

For me it was Age of Empires 2. I got the whole collection (1, 2 and their expansion packs) and decided I'd start with 2.

Probably Duke 3D, had some ridiculous fun playing that game. Special mention as well to Freelancer, the first time I really got into an online game.

For me it was "the incredible machine". A kind of puzzle game where you could build hilarious contraptions and the like or solve puzzles. I put sooo many hours of my life into it, I really should try to find it or some other game like it again.

That was incredible, I remember that.
