The first PC game I ever played? That's a bit subjective, but I'll bite:
The first computer game I played was either Word Munchers, Number Munchers, or Oregon Trail on my school computer lab's Apple ][e. Again, this wasn't mine, nor was it a PC!
The first PC game I ever played was likely Math Blaster, but again, this was on a school PC this time. Not mine though.
Finally, my first PC was a 386. The first real game I played on it....Battle Chess!
I would suggest Mint. Considering the hardware, the XFCE version. Have you looked into any hardware upgrades for these machines? I've found that a simple ram or hdd-->ssd upgrade can be rather inexpensive these days.
