Soon after that I bought SSI's Mech Brigade. I remember going to the public library to find all the books and magazines I could find about US and Soviet armor.

Status: offline 		Excluding pong of course, my very first computer game that I played was on a TSR80? that my uncle owned, and it was a star trek game loaded from tape. The very first game I bought was Bard's Tale for C64. It was pivotal in my forming my "RPG's need to have automapping" rule I spent a lot of hours in that game, and had many hand drawn maps on graph paper.

First game: Temple of Apshai for C64

First wargame - SSI's Knights of the Desert for C64


SSI's Knights of the Desert for the C64 was also my first wargame.

I recall playing Temple of Apshai, but I think Zork (a text based game) might have been first personal computer game. I had played some text based computer games at Univ of Illinois before either of those.

War in Russia (1984 version) by Grigsby

Kamfgruppe by Grigsby

Chris Crawford's game about the cold war, can't remember the title. You spent funds either supporting or fighting insurgent groups in minor nations around the globe.

I guess it's possible I bought them all at once (though not likely as I was broke in those days), it's just so long ago I can no longer recall specific details enough to say for sure which was my first game on the PC.
