OMG, the first time I ever played a game on a computer was in about 1992 or 1993 when I played one of those games from the big floppies on one of those OLD macs...I forgot what it was about, but I do remember playing the following game in Windows 3.11 which I still have somewhere:

WHEEL OF FORTUNE!

my earliest true pc based memory was playing Magic Pockets (if any remembers this, RESPECT!) but before that, I used to love my COMMODORE 64 with the tape drive, and the sound it used to made when it loaded! I had games like SWIV, Silkworm, and loads of others...

Anyone here ever own a Sinclair QL??
