For me it was Diablo 2, Starcraft or Counterstrike. These 3 games really were the first and kept me playing the longest. Old games ftw.

Diablo II / Warcraft IIIEndless hours sunk into those two games without regrets. You can tell I'm a bit of a blizzard fanboy.

the best PC game ever made... that's a tough one... but I'd have to give it to daggerfall. that game is unbelievably big for a game that runs in dos and I'm also convinced it is THE largest world in the TES series. Best of all both it and arena are currently available for free at one of the many bethesda websites, can't remember witch one at the moment.I swear I didn't mean to triple post. Every time I tried nothing happened any way again I apologize for this now I'm going to go try to find out what I should do about it.

It depends on your genre preference.

It depends, But one of the best games ever made for the PC, and pretty much solely for the PC has to be Sid Meier's Civilization series. Outside of that you can point to just about any Bioware/Ubisoft developed game (albeit some are on multiple platforms).

There can be no other but Planescape: Torment. Great story, non-linear as all get-out and full of secrets and goodies.

Diablo was ground breaking when it came out. If you played it at the time of release it just paled everything in comparison, I wouldn't be surprised if they polled and this came out top. C&C: Red Alert is probably the best strategy game I've played, I see most of the new strat games that come out take components from it. Of course, though, I have to say these were all great for their time. If you go back and play them now they wont live up to today's standards, unless you love nostalgia at which point BEST GAMES EVER!!!WoW took the best parts of a few other MMOs to show how a MMO should be made, I know some people show it a lot of hate but from an unbiased POV it's a good game although they did dumb it down a lot the last 2 expacs. Still worth playing.

For me, the best PC game I've ever played is Deus Ex. I have finished the game 3 times, and yet I still come back to it. Apart from that, Half-Life and it's sequel, as well as Portal are also good contenders.

It's kind of a subjective question isn't it? I mean there are a number of different opinions on the matter and no one is really right or wrong in this case. There are a number of different ways you could measure their appeal... oh wait, no there isn't. The enjoyment of something, can that really be measured?
Now I'm just being a bad philosopher here, but I would think that there is no greatest PC game just as there is no greatest game. All of it is subject to our own experiences and ideas. I could tell you what games I like for the PC, but that certainly cannot be the greatest game if it lacks wide appeal, a solid story and excellent gameplay.
So anyway, I guess I would go with the Simulation genre of games as a whole. Perhaps with the 4X genre being the best since it has so many different scenarios that are possible.

I gotta say, it's a reall tough call to name a favorite with all those great ones out there.
I liked the Age of Empires collection, Titan Quest, All 3 Diablos (so far for 3 lol) Command and Conquer, Starcraft, Half Life, Terraria...I still play Morrowind every so often lol
So far I'm just delvign into Diablo 3, but I'd really like to give The Witcher a shot too...

The best PC game will now have to be Diablo III lolol. It's pretty much Diablo II but with updated graphics, and some improved mechanisms. C'mon Diablo II fans, try it!

It definitely depends on your preference of genre. I like sandbox games a lot and things like minecraft appeal to me. For Rpg's, oblivion and skyrim top the rest. Starcraft is an amazing strategy game.

Myst and his sequals. It's a searching game, one you surely need to use all your brains and good graphics. The first ones not to good in graphics now a days, but in the time they were released, they were one of the best.
