hmmm, I'm not sure about the first PC game I owned... but the first game I ever played on the PC had to be Return to Zork over my friend's house.  He had Windows 3.1 and I was totally amazed by his opening and closing of windows... before then, all I knew about computers was what I saw in 80's movies...
 
as for the game, it scared the shit out of me... I was also, like... 6 years old at the time...
 
Edit: here's a video...

The original doom and DOS games like that. 
 
I actually used to go to GameHippo.com a lot and pretend that the freeware games were better than the real RPGs my friend played. I seriously -- no shit -- played a Diablo clone called DINK SMALLWOOD when I was young.

Does anyone remember Lords of the Realm? Don't think it was my first game on the PC, but it was among the first.

I don't know what it's called.
 
"Galaxy" was what was written on the floppy.
 
A 100 levels long space-invader like game, with upgradeable weapons and super bombs. The 50 first levels all used the same set of sprites for the enemies at different intervals, the last 50 came with a different set (And more HP).

Not really sure exactly, but one of my first games would've been Lemmings, which incidentally was released exactly 19 years ago today. If it wasn't the first PC game I played, then it would be the first game I really loved.

I can't remember the name, it was a target shooting one, sometimes you shot cowboys, other times just targets. Also the old Captain Keen. There was a space simulaor as well, you flew round ina  ship, and had the view from the cockpit window, I remember it was really hard, but really cool as well because it had (pixelated as hell) Live action cutscenes.

Oregon Trail, Spectre 2.0, and Spelunx. But it was all on an Apple GS, so noy sure if you can REALLY call it 'PC.'


EDIT: Ooh, and Outnumbered. Good old learning games.

One of my first memories was being a little kid and being shipped off to my grandpa's house so he could babysit me. I shuffled into the front room and I saw an Apple II that was running through both a monitor and my grandpas television. He put in one of those giant floppy disks and all of a sudden I was playing a game about a caveman riding around on a stone unicycle, I later found out that it was called B.C's Quest for Tires. I also remember it being difficult for me because there was this hill that you had to climb up and it changed the jump timing for every obstacle.  When I was done with B.C, my Grandpa then put in what I now is Mickeys Space Adventure, and I remember playing that for the rest of the day. Now this was 84' or 85', I can't really remember, but outside of my NES that my Dad purchased in 87' I never played another PC game until 91' when I entered grade 3. My school at the time just set up a computer lab and every lunch hour I would go on to one of the computers and play some game where you had to program a turtle and your mathematical equation would turn out to be some drawing. I could never do much more than a checkerboard or a star but it was an interesting program to goof off with. Lastly, in 94' my dad walked into a Visions electronics and saw Doom being demoed, he was impressed so much that he went to the bank, took out a loan and purchased a 486. Now, this wasn't just any old 486, it was powered by a top of the line  IntelDX4WB, 8mb or Ram, a nearly 600mb HD, Sound Blaster AWE 32, 4x CD drive, and all the bells and whistles to make gaming great at the time. It was sweet, not only did it come with dozens of shareware titles pre-installed, but my dad bought a bunch of those shareware disks with a hundred games on them. I also swapped floppy's with other classmates and ended up with awesome games like Sim City 2000, Rise of the Triad, Epic Pinball (The Start of my Epic Fanboyism), Raptor: Call of the Shadows, Solar Winds,  Civ II, Hillsfar, ShadowCaster, Street Rod, and the list goes on and on. That 486 was the most important video game machine I ever owned, and even though I played other PC titles first, I will always see that as the first time I actually played PC games.

I had an Apple II and used to play Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, The Last Ninja, and The Oregon Trail.
 
Not counting the crappy games that were packaged in with Windows 95 (Jezzball is the only one I can remember the name of but there were others) Warcraft II and Quake were my first PC gaming experiences.

Backyard Baseball, the original one, was probably the first one I actually figured out. Oregon trail 2/3 was another early one...

Wow. Stunts.... I remember that game. Used to play it at school.
Before that there was Jungle Hunt. Swinging from vines, jumping rocks, avoiding crocodiles, rescuing the maiden. Good times.

Civilization ^ ^. I was about 4 years old, spent the whole time exploring the land and wondering what "peace treaties" were and why people kept offering them to me. I accepted each one, but the one I rejected ended up having my tiny Kingdom squashed by the knights of a much mightier one :(.

C&C: Tiberian Sun was the first I owned, though the first game I ever played was Starcraft.
