Well, I wasn't going to post cuz I took to long and saw all the PAGES of replies... Then I found myself reading them and thought "What a cool bunch of folks, not the geeks I dreaded finding I was one of..."
So, I am 33 (as of last week). I have played RPG's since the Atari days of which my father was a dealer and I a programmer of business courses. The earliest I remember were from Penguin Software but I cannot remember any titles. I played Wiz 1 then skipped to 4 and haven't missed one since. I didn't get into any others but did enjoy the First Person RPG from Origin - Dungeon Somethingerother (full graphics and motion - came out in like 91)
I now live in cold San Francisco, CA and work a a major special effects house in the bay area as Mgr of the Network Engineering and Security group.
I want to personally thank everyone for their comments and like many of you found this site a few games back (although it was only about a year ago with Wiz & Warriors for me) Great site, good folks and a wonderful game (one my 2 full pass but have played it many times with fabulous reloads to explore the possibilities)
Thanks again and hopefully we can keep this spirit alive in the real world as well.
