I got started on PC games at work. I became a CADD Operator in 1988. Worked on a old Vax system. We got some new pcs at work Beleive they were Epson IBM clones. I worked the second shift and we didn't have a third shift. Someone brought in some PGA golf games with different courses like Augusta and Pebble Beach. My buddy and I would get our work done and then stay there playing golf games until 3 or 4 in the morning. Then I bought my own computer to help my then girlfriend (now wife) do her computer class work where see went to school. She got an A and I learned Basic.
I eventually got a color monitor and bought Falcon (a flight simulator game) and then Lord Of The Rings. Played them for hours. The last game I bought was Cammando. At the time they were the coolest thing going. They beat the old Atari hands down, cause you had to use your mind. ------------------ Sir Taliesin Ten Rings there are, and nine gold torcs on the battlechiefs of old... |

My first rpg was Quest for Glory I: So You Want to be a Hero by Sierra. I don't remember when I first played it but It was 256 color. I had in on my 486 25mHz packard bell with a 160 meg hard drive. Needless to say we have all come along way!

oh, so you weren't talking about the stone-age I remember a friend had an epson equity 2+e, 12mghz, 1mb ram, 40mb hd, we played some sort of dungeon game that kept on crashing. The first "modern" comp i had was a dx2 50mghz, 4mbram, and a whopping 250meg drive, that was in 91 for over 2000$ (ouch!) I had this game that was shareware, called Moraff's Dungeon - anyone ever play that? It was actually pretty cool, had like over 100 levels to go down, and even a major boss every 10 levels before the big guy himself. I don't remember too much about it now, but there was a town above, teleport portals for the various sections, experience points, and all that jazz. wish I knew where it was now

I Didn't know about the wand of Sylvias until I played it a 2nd time I've played EOB about 50 times now, and one time I beat it in 5 hrs 40mins! (I didn't do all the 'special quests' on every level during that speed test though. Favorite scary area - Drow! and those damn Spiders.... ugh! (I didn't even have a sound card at the time, but the PC Speaker WAS pretty good for it's time) Ziroc |

I sometimes wonder what we've done to our 4 sons (if anything). They have all played computer games since they were about 2 years old, and have played CRPGs and Adventure games since they were .. 5? ... 7? My second sons favorite games when he was about 10 were Sam & Max Hit the Road, and all of the Leisure Suit Larry games.
I guess we're the test family for if computer games create monsters. ------------------ Having abandoned my search for truth, I am now looking for a good Fantasy. |
