          Lemmings and one of the Ultima games, both on the Amiga 1000 (the original one).

          Watched code never compiles.

                      Pong. Well, okay. It wasn't exactly a PC, but it did use a processor of sorts.

                          Space Quest. My favourite was Freddie Farkus the frontier pharmacist. I also loved the original Lemmings.

                              I wrote Pooperpig for the BBC Micro in about 1982 - still downloadable and playable on the bbc emulators! So that gets my vote. Otherwise it would be Elite for the BBC. If its really a PC game then the earliest I recall was Nightmare on Elm Street

                                Battle Chess[^]. It won't let you do illegal moves so I taught myself to play when I was 3 (I'm no good these days though)

                                      Impossible Mission[^] on the C64. Took about 20 minutes to load via the cassette tape drive. Never did get it out.
