I got started on PC games at work. I became a CADD Operator in 1988. Worked on a old Vax system. We got some new pcs at work Beleive they were Epson IBM clones. I worked the second shift and we didn't have a third shift. Someone brought in some PGA golf games with different courses like Augusta and Pebble Beach. My buddy and I would get our work done and then stay there playing golf games until 3 or 4 in the morning. Then I bought my own computer to help my then girlfriend (now wife) do her computer class work where see went to school. She got an A and I learned Basic.
I eventually got a color monitor and bought Falcon (a flight simulator game) and then Lord Of The Rings. Played them for hours. The last game I bought was Cammando. At the time they were the coolest thing going. They beat the old Atari hands down, cause you had to use your mind.
