Growing up in my household, we never had a PC...in 1992 or '93, my mom finally decided she was getting a computer. As one of my friends was a PC gaming fiend, I spent the next few months getting recommendations from him on what games I should get, what stuff I should borrow from him, etc., etc. Then my mom hit me with the bombshell.
She was getting a Mac.
I didn't end up getting a (pretty low-end) PC until 1997, and I never got into PC gaming. My PC was always on the low end of the minimum requirements for PC games, and I borrowed some stuff from my aforementioned buddy; a lot of it would not work right or would crash my shitty computer. That was it for me and PCs, and I've never really gone back.
The only PC games I've devoted serious time to:
1. The Third Eye (adventure game based on Poe's short stories).
2. WarCraft.
3. Heroes of Might & Magic (I forget which installment...3 or 4, maybe).
4. Doom.
I also tried repeatedly to get into MMORPGs but hated all of them: Ultima Online, EverQuest, and Final Fantasy XI.
In Mac gaming, I was a bit more fortunate. I played:
1. An Indiana Jones adventure game (I forget the name).
2. Populous.
3. Sam & Max Hit The Road.
4. Star Trek (an adventure game by Interplay - it was pretty awesome).
5. Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle.
6. Star Wars: Dark Forces (FPS with the Star Wars license).
7. Marathon.
Other than that, I've been purely a console gamer. I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of...I just consider PC gaming to be too much of a hassle, and I have a hard time playing games on the computer, which I generally associate with work (or Internet use). :shrug
