Duke Nukem 3D was the first thing I did.
I was 3 years old- luckily most things went right over my head, but it was fun to shoot the crap out of baddies.

Hm hm... i remember having a few smaller games before playing "LHX: Attack Chopper" (only game i ever knew where you could lock a heat-seeking missile onto a camel and blow it up *g*) and "Stunts" in the early nineties.
But i remember totally getting hooked and playing a LOT of the golden classics. The Lucasarts games, X-Com: Enemy Unknown (Still one of my favourite games EVER), SimCity, Prince of Persia, Ultima, and so many more.
Ah well, yeah, while i played a few older games i pretty much missed the great first wave of gaming. But i was RIGHT THERE in the GOLDEN AGE. Early 90'ies... awesome stuff.

Excluding Educational softwares on my primary school's RM Nimbus 186 [Aaaaah, Through the Dragon's Eye!] The first game I remember playing for any length of time was Jetpack on the ZX Spectrum. Damn, someone said they felt old for playing Flashback! It was years before I got an Amiga.
EDIT - Oh snap! Didn't read the OP properly!
Earliest PC gaming memories didn't come 'til much later on, I suppose I'd have to go with Star Trek - A Final Unity.

Moto Racer was amazing, it was also the first game I've ever played.
Never again have i seen such a fun motorcycle racing game, although i throughly enjoyed the motorcycles in the midnight club series.

Those were only the first batch of "good" PC games (not counting the merely "ok" ones) I played on my state-of-the-art 386, after years of being a console gamer. And don't even get me started on the MSX, or I'll REALLY get nostalgic on you.
