first game?

So what was the first game? Any1 care to do some research? My first time i guess was Warcraft 1... FoW was so scary in that game... like it was in the middle of the night or something.

Warcraft 1 came after Dune 2. Dune 2 had Fog of War.

Incidentally, I remember playing 1 on 1 Warcraft 1 with my friend over a 14.4 kbps modem. :)

I think this is going to be a really subjective 1st game to use it type thing. When I was a kid my dad and I would play Galactic Conquest. It was turn based. The maps were made up of a grid of 16x16 ASCII chars. Unknown planets showed up on the "map", but their associated values were unknown. When a player would take over a planet all players would see those values. However, when a player would send ships to another planet to take it over the number of ships and where they were going would be hidden from everyone. Would that be considered fog of war?

My first game was Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for the Playstation. It was my first exposure to gaming, and I've loved it ever since.

The OP is asking what was the first game with fog of war, not what was the first game you ever played.

My guess is Chris Crawford's Patton vs Rommel in 87:

Super Mario for the NES, here.

For games with Fog of War, I think Warcraft II.

Why Warcraft II before Warcraft I?

Anyway, could it possibly be the original Civ?

I would say Warcraft 2 and/or command & conquer 1 would be my first, i played them both at the same time.
