Well, games ... not just video games have been a part of my life for longer than most have known they have been around. We started with Pong. In 1977 we got one of the first home computers, a TRS80 model 2, it had a grand total of 16k and had to load computer games from a cassette recorder. Hehe.
We programmed games and played the early games, but they were fairly simple. Shortly after that we got our first Atari, and played tank games, Adventure, Mission Command. During that time Space Invaders was still popular in the arcade, hehe. Since then things have changed quite a bit. I havent programmed in like forever, though I can still do basic. Assembly, Cobal, Turbo Pascal, Fortran were the programs of the time. Since then have upgraded and expanded things significantly. Got the first floppy disk drive, then an actual hard drive!! Woot! Beyond that, my game taste has expanded as well. I love playing role playing games where you can levels and get to do quest and become better based upon prior actions. I tend to lay the good guys, but not all can be the glorious dark. For Knights of the Old Republic, I have a hard time become Sith and remaining that way. Same thing with Fable. I played Everquest for six years and accomplished quite a lot. Lately though have been playing WoW, world of warcraft, yet another evil game. If you want to learn more, there is quite a lot. Just ask, smile.
