Consoles bundles don't vary much, but PCs of yesteryear used to come with extremely bizarre and distinct titles packed right the hell in.

So what's some crap you played to death just because it was your first and/or only game? Yes, Macs count

My first PC came with Cold Shadow, which had Donald Duck transforming into a Ninja. It was complete and total awesomeness.

My old Gateway came with something called the puzzle collection. It had about twelve games, all with 16-bit graphics. I thought it was the shit until I got my N-64.

First PC I had was in 1994 and it was a Tandy. It had Windows 3.1. There wasn't really anything strange, but the guy at Radio Shack, where we bought it, put Duke Nukem, the side scrolling one, and Wolfenstein 3D onto a disc for me.

Hmm lesse...

I know it came with Mega Race, 3D Dinosaur Adventure, some kind of medical game where you went inside bodies and zapped viruses and an encyclopedia. Also got Doom and Doom 2, but had to use a boot disk because the PC only had four megs of RAM.

This wasn't my first computer, but the most memorable game I ever had that came free with a computer was some game called "Nanosaur" in which you controlled a dinosaur with a jet pack and guns on his back.
Looking back on it, the game was utter shit, but back then I loved it for quite a while.

Well, I have a family PC, but my own Personal PC (kinda redundant) came with probably the worst game ever. You would expect an almost $2000 computer would come with something good right, wrong!
It came with a game named F'n Broken created by the fine devs. at "Boned you out of your money! Ya that's right I didn't get a game with my PC but trying to make it work was a sick and hellish game in itself.
It was almost enough to kill myself, my darling PC that I had saved up for months for and it was broken out the box. At the time I didn't have my 360 yet and all my mother would buy is games for the Wii that nintendo published. I was forced to play Wii sports, Wii fit, and yes, Wii music! Dear God Why!

This is a fairly recent story as you can tell, but I have finally got my PC to work! This is a completely off topic subject, but still, it is enough!
