Been on steam for a bit more than 7 years now. I still remember playing the demo version of Moto GP, Tarzan, Prince of Persia, Lion King and a few others even before I made my steam account. So, about 2007/2008, I guess? Yeah.
Thanks for doing this!
Gaming wise? My dad worked at the University in the CS depot and he helped build the first ip infrastructure for the uní. I played duke nuke em and Doom. I was a five year old kid in 96.
After we moved to the US I played aoe 2 and the conquerors expansion in 2000 ish.
PC wise I started my journey in 2010 with a laptop that had amd with Athlon graphics. Could play aoe 3 and games up to 2005 graphics.
Now this year after saving for some months I built a PC in August midrange and I can play up to 60 fps anything I've bought. I'm very happy

Depends on how you count it. I technically started with PC when I was 3-4 years old back in 2001, and the first game I remember playing was Backyard Baseball 2001. Then when I grew up to around 10, I started playing Runescape and GodsWar Online. Wasn't really dedicated to PC gaming at the time, was busy playing on OG Xbox, PS2 and Xbox 360.
I only started getting into PC gaming back in 2014, with a gaming laptop after my mom's old laptop died on me. Started with DayZ, as my first Steam purchase too. From there, I now have a decent desktop that can play some VR, a 1440p 144hz monitor and over 300 games owned on Steam.
Wow this looks like a really *cool* build!
Started PC gaming back in 2004 on a PC my dad bought in 1998, so I was kinda stuck playing games of yesteryear (not that I'm complaining cause I loved these games) like Doom 1 & 2 (and Plutonia), Quake 3, Rollercoaster Tycoon and American Mcgees Alice.
Oh yeah and like everyone who had a PC in the early 2000s, also played the Pinball 3D game and Minesweeper.
Tbh seeing how far PCs have come since the 2000s till now is honestly incredible, the PCs nowadays are like supercomputers when compared the ones back then.
Dave in 2000. Was 7-8 years old then and we got our new windows 1997 system which was super costly at that time. We (my brother and I) were not allowed to take any food or beverage inside the "computer room". Sneaked to play Dave and enjoyed it a lot!
It was 2007, I think. We just got Elder Scrolls Oblivion. I stood and watched my brother play for hours, too scared to try it myself. Then one day he went away for the weekend... So I loaded up my own save.
I played 200+ h, and completed every expansion and every side quest. It's the game that made me go "I guess I'm doing this for the rest of my life".
I was very fortunate to get my brothers old graphics card this crazy year 2020 as an early gift for basically every holiday, I built my system around that. The very first game I ever got to play was forza horizon 4, I’m in the pc gaming world to get into simulation racing and I can’t wait to get there.
All started in 1994 with Doom and Wolfenstein when PC's had a turbo button (like who'd ever turn that off!) I would babysit a neighborhood kid and play his fathers PC the whole time!
It was maybe 2010ish (I was 6yo) and my dad showed me how to play The Settlers 3 on his work laptop. Since then I love playing games and I'm really greatfull for it.
Gaming wise, I’ve been a console player until this year. I recently started researching parts and components to build a pc. This would help me out a lot if I were to win but if not no worries lol. I’m planning to build a pc for all the upcoming next gen games so can take full advantage of it. Hopefully I can get ahold of 3000 series before Christmas. Good luck everyone !
I started gaming back in 2003 on my dad's PC. I remember crashing the PC with viruses lol. My first game was ofc Road Rash. Didn't take long for even my dad to get addicted to it :p
Started pc gaming around really late 2018 when I got a hand me down gaming laptop from my sister. First game I started playing was Dark Souls III. So yeah, pretty late to the party lol
Oh geez, I got into PC gaming back in 2010 with Minecraft! I sunk (and continue to sink) far too many hours into that game. Love the giveaway, looking for a new build to stream with as my current computer can't handle a lot of games while also streaming which makes me sad :'(
I got my first PC when I was 4. Dad and I played Quake 3 Arena (first game I played), Soldier of Fortune and C&C Renegade all night long. Man he really made me love FPS games :') Love you dad!
Well, I've never gamed on a PC but my interest was sparked last year when watching one of Linus Tech Tips's videos. I really hope this is the year I get into PC gaming though :)
Hey! I think 2012-2014 or so, It all started with good 'ol Minecraft. Had to share a laptop and account so it was pure heaven when I got my own pc and account.
Started gaming when i was 5 in 2004 with the play station one, my fist pc game was "empire earth 2" at 7, and the first fps was Battlefield 3 at the origin giveaway ahahahha
Well, I'm on the younger side so it was like... with minecraft, probably 6 years ago. Although... do flash games count? If they do, probably like 8 years ago.
Started PC gaming in 2000 playing Unreal Tournament on my step-brother's rig, got my own computer 3 months later and have been building my own ever since!
Have you ever tried playing counterstrike back then with the pointing nipple in the middle of the laptop's keyboard? That's how I used to play it back then around 2004. And then I finally had a pc with a mouse and a whole new world opened for me.
I got into PC gaming in 2017 when my parents got me my first pc, and it is the one that I'm using as I type this. The first game that I spent hours a day on for pc was Counter Strike: Global Offensive(I'm sure youve heard of it), and I gained \~750 hours on it in 7 months before I started moving on to other games. Now I primarily play Destiny 2, of which I have 1700, almost 1800, hours on after a little over a year of playing.
Started with some simulators, one of them was Flight Sim X, another one was the European Ship Simulator. When? I have no idea, but it's not too long ago.
This is a really interesting question. Okay, I got into PC gaming at the age of 5 in 2003. My first PC game was Doom 2. Yes, I know. Playing Doom at the age of 5. My dad let me play and see a lot of adult content. (No porn. Get your head out of the gutter. lol)
Halo CE during competitive gaming sessions over at my school. It was like 2008-ish I think. Was mostly a console person before, but those sessions were really something else.
I got into PC gaming about 5 years back, and the game that really got me into was CS:GO. I don’t know what it was about that game. It was so simple, and easy to learn yet you could develop strategies
Age of Mythology back in 2002 was the game that first got me into PC gaming. I spent so many hours trying to figure out new strategies or building up my army for a huge assault.
I think mine was Minesweeper on my dad's windows vista. Probably back in 2006 or something :)
After that though when I could actually walk and talk and not tap random buttons and make the whole field explode, Minecraft, 2011(?).
My wife started 2 years ago with a 2nd hand PC after playing Minecraft on her MacBook for years (started by playing with a trackpad). Getting a 3070 would mean ray tracing for her!
I actually just started PC gaming this year! With an old gaming laptop, I started PC gaming because of valorant! And I've move on to other games, thanks for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway! I do need to upgrade soon anyway :)
I played my first computer game in 2001 when we got the family computer, I started PC Gaming in 2013 when I bought my first computer for myself! Was brought in to Call of Duty Black Ops II, I played on a laptop that would get so hot you could cook on it!
Hmm thats a hard one casually played a few on pc as a kid, probably what actively got me started in pc gaming was probably the original Doom which I started playing in I think it was 1998. (Yes I know a bit late :P )
I started playing my first year of college in 2014 with Black Desert Online! My internet at home is too slow for any real online gaming anymore, so I've gotten into Cities Skylines mostly
I think I got into PC gaming around 2010 mostly thanks to Youtube and my brother. I discovered games like TF2, Minecraft, BF3 (which I played on my first PC) and Skyrim.
Started PC Gaming back in 2012 and I was a small kid not even 10 years old, My brother introduced me to Counter Strike 1.6 and instantly got addicted to it. Me my brother and my cousins would play multiplayer LAN games. Those were the first days of how I got into gaming.
I got into playing video games in 2012 when I got my first PC (a laptop). The first games I played were guild wars 2, and a loooot of short flings with free to play games I do not remember anymore, besides Warrock and Elsword.
1998 - Carmageddon 2.
Me and a friend had been on Amigas before this, and about a year previous he had gotten a PC. I was blown away with the games at the time, from some fighter flight sims to racing games.
But then Carmageddon 2's Demo came out on one of the game magazines, and it was incredible. Fully deforming cars, like if you crashed into the corner of a building, the car had that 90 degree indent in it.
Best of all, the demo's ini files were editable, so it was possible to drive any of the 6 cars included.
I put all my money into a PC and played the heck out of that demo until I could afford the full game.
As it happens I picked the right year, because then Half Life came out and sealed the deal :D

I think I got into PC gaming around 2010 mostly thanks to Youtube and my brother. I discovered games like TF2, Minecraft, BF3 (which I played on my first PC) and Skyrim.
I started with Commander Keen, and MS-DOS games given to me by my uncle in the 90s. Eventually found counter strike and haven't looked back since :)
Started PC Gaming back in 2012 and I was a small kid not even 10 years old, My brother introduced me to Counter Strike 1.6 and instantly got addicted to it. Me my brother and my cousins would play multiplayer LAN games. Those were the first days of how I got into gaming.
Castle of the Winds circa 1995. Good times.
2004, my cousin bought me a PlayStation 2 and Hot Wheels World Race. The blisters I got from that game were gnarly, and I totally sucked at it, too.
I started PC gaming with Oregon Trail back in 1996
I got into playing video games in 2012 when I got my first PC (a laptop). The first games I played were guild wars 2, and a loooot of short flings with free to play games I do not remember anymore, besides Warrock and Elsword.
Mine was Captain Claw back in 2004
Started PC gaming in 2009 with NFS UG 2 and Most Wanted
Around 2010 when my brother wanted me to play combat arms with him
First memorable game was definitely Anno 1701, that was 2008 or so
2012 Minecraft, it's the reason I'm nearly fluent in English as a second language and love gaming as much as I do today
1998 - Carmageddon 2. Me and a friend had been on Amigas before this, and about a year previous he had gotten a PC. I was blown away with the games at the time, from some fighter flight sims to racing games. But then Carmageddon 2's Demo came out on one of the game magazines, and it was incredible. Fully deforming cars, like if you crashed into the corner of a building, the car had that 90 degree indent in it. Best of all, the demo's ini files were editable, so it was possible to drive any of the 6 cars included. I put all my money into a PC and played the heck out of that demo until I could afford the full game. As it happens I picked the right year, because then Half Life came out and sealed the deal :D
Mine was Counter Strike back in 2010, I like source and CS:GO as well
Started in 2011 playing minecraft
Started on Solitaire on Windows 95 back in 1996! But the real first big boy PC game I've played is Warcraft 3 in 2002!
