Re: What was the first
Steel Panthers 1, in 1998. I was about fifteen, my parents purchased SSI's Wargames Collection set. Had Age of Rifles, Panzer General, Tanks!, and some other SSI titles, but SP was soul-satisfying whereas the other games were mere amusements.

I think I had (have) this one. Was it the one with a see through box? Very cheaply made.

It survived exactly one opening of it.

Re: What was the first
Age of Rifles which I still have and still play. Then 'twas Steel Panthers and Steel Panthers 2. Those are the games which led me to hack oobs and do scenarios.

Re: What was the first
I think the first one that I bought was Avalon Hill's Gulf Strike in 1984, but it never ran properly. About 10 years later I purchased SSI's Panzer General and played until my last computer running DOS went down.

Re: What was the first
There was "the perfect general" which was a simplistic hex-based wargame that played well against the AI, and was even better when I hooked up my Atari ST to my friend's Amiga via a serial cable. Wiki says that was 1991 my how time flies!.
Apparently still available - http://killerbeesoftware.com/kbsgames/pgnew/

I remember going to a local store for a decade, seeing the box of the perfect general (and the sequel) and never buying it because....reasons?
It never made any sense why I didn't pick it up.
I kick myself for it.
