Your first computer game in childhood?

My first game on PC was The Sims. I used some cheats to build a floating house, but then wanted to make it bigger and just couldn't. I was going to abandon the property as a lost cause, but my mom, who used to play with me and who had wayyy more patience than I did, moved a family into the tiny floating property (as a side note, this particular family was made based on the original Charmed sisters, so it was Piper, Phoebe, and Prue). Within the first in-game week, a burglar had broken in and stolen a number of things, including the bathroom sink and the fire alarm before we could call the emergency line (we admittedly should have installed a burglar alarm, but the family funds were really low. It was the first week, and we thought we'd be able to save up for a number of necessities once the sisters started working). So yeah, this family had it a bit rough, and now we were saving up to replace all the stolen household items. Only a few days later, one of the sisters was cooking dinner on the stove when a fire broken out. There was no alarm, so we had to wake up one of the other sisters to call the fire department and to evacuate the house. In the midst of this, instead of leaving the house, the third sister ran into the kitchen and started panicking. We tried to make the sister who had been cooking put out the fire to buy us some time, and then we tried again to get the other sisters to just leave.

The fire was spreading quickly, but one sister was finally out. Then the fire fighters arrived. Unfortunately they were blocked by the crappy, tiny house's layout AND the panicked sister. So... After some very difficult reshuffling in Build/Buy mode, we managed to get the stupid, panicky sister out of the way for the fire fighters to work and to get the first sister away from the flames. It was too little too late. In the few moments we had taken to rearrange and demolish some walls, the first sister had burned to death. The fire was out, the house was a mess, and now the sisters wouldn't stop crying.

It was one of my favorite memories of that game!! :lol:
