        Yep, it's called Pong. You bounce from one topic to the next, with no end in sight. It's very addicting. :)

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

                            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
