Line Wars II!!
First EVER 3D flight sim, made in 1984, i think. Might have been 1986...
Runs on a 486, windows 95, will run in DOS on a 286, and it is entirely 3D!!
It is set in space, and you're a spaceship killing asteroids and pirates. You can even control it with a mouse!
Planets use Gourad shading, and the ships and asteroids have standard lighting effects; it is in black and white, though, to speed up rendering!

That doesn't count the 2 or 3 C-64 games in the upstairs office..somewhere near the old C-64 :) ...hmm..Kickman...some word typing game....forget what else...couple or 4 that I wrote in BASIC myself...

How old is the original Wolfenstein? Older than Doom? Same time frame? Either way, I have that, Doom1 and 2, and Blakestone. Guesss the original Unreal games too. Along with UT99.

Mechwarrior, I alway wanted to play that but never could cause it cost like 80 bucks and you had to use that crazy controller. Looked cool though. The oldest game I got layin around is........AOE 1. I've systematically lost, given away, or had stolen all of my old games or systems.

I just found a really old game I made in GameMaker when I was 8 :) It was on a floppy disk that I just found in a box in the loft :)
It doesn't work in XP, but I still made it :)

Somewhere stored I have the first Populous Game (http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/abandonware/amiga/games_p/populous_1.html). If you click the link it's freeware now. Abandonware actually.
I also have Myst, Riven, Black Dahlia, Zork Grand Inquisitor...
Edit: I also got Tyrian, still a favourite!
I have Wing Commander3. But my real gem is the game that almost killed consoles way back.
ET!!! It is the worst game ever developed.
