My first pc was an old 8088 booting from dos 2 point something or other. It had 2 floppy disk drives vs the "standard" one. Few people around now remember that b is a valid drive letter!
First games were pretty much all from Microprose - Lightspeed, the original Silent Service (you had to boot that one), M1 tank platoon, F117, etc etc. I played alot of shareware titles back then as well, Hack, Mines of Moria, etc. Even had a few SSI games. Of course, elite was in there (that game was hard with just keyboard controls!)
I skipped the 286, 386 and 486 personally, though I did work with them. Went straight to a Pentium when they came out and had Win95, set it up to dual boot into dos 6.22 - had all kinds of problems with that machine initially because the sound board was an off brand Mad Dog 16 (SB16 compatible). Finally got it running to play MOO, MOM and a SS2.
