I think my first game was Populous. Followed in very quick succession by a bunch of others such as Silent Service 2.

I think my first game was one of these:

War in Russia (1984 version) by Grigsby

Kamfgruppe by Grigsby

Chris Crawford's game about the cold war, can't remember the title. You spent funds either supporting or fighting insurgent groups in minor nations around the globe.

I guess it's possible I bought them all at once (though not likely as I was broke in those days), it's just so long ago I can no longer recall specific details enough to say for sure which was my first game on the PC.

Wargame Construction Set by SSI for Commodore 64 is the only one I can remember for certain. 1986. I had a Vic20 before that but I don't remember any of the titles.
