I heard of Matrix because they were giving away Steel Panthers World at War, which I downloaded and played for quite awhile. Their generosity gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling and I've had a spot in my heart for Matrix ever since. How many other PC gaming companies give their games to gamers for free?
Same here.

After the free stuff (Steel Panthers World at War, I think) I believe my first paid Matrix game was War in the Pacific. It had just been released when I found the website (by accident).

War in Russia and PacWar, if you can actually say that. I bought both when they first came out and while searching for them online for information about them, I cam across the Matrix website. Based on when I registered them, I think Forge of Freedom was my first.
I got a little confused between War in the Pacific and Pacwar and when I realized it was a remake, I bought it.
But, hell, I can't really remember what I bought first. I've bought a lot.

Actually, PC is my first Matrix game.... because I already have the EARLY versions of all GG's games.
Now that I've found the place I'll probably ruin my budget for the year and start replacing all the early stuff running under DOS box with the newer Matrix remakes.

I just realised it was Steel Panthers World At War in 2001. I got it on a cover CD. I didn't even know that Matrix Games exists back then.

War in Russia (Matrix Edition) and SPWAW. Both for free. The first game I bought was Korsun Pocket iirc.

Wow ... Haven't been in here awhile, since my last post ... I'm here because of KG's recent comment ... Mine, of course, is Puresim in 2006 ... I do miss the old style forum here ...
Luck of the Irish to you all, mates ...

I think it was SPWAW, but I had no idea at the time it was Matrix. My first two Matrix purchases where the Lost Victories Campaign and Fortress Europe [8|]
