[Andy Watkins]

38. Have been playing wargames for about 30 years and computer games for about 23.

My first computer was a Tandy TRS80 model II.

Best game on it was a carthaginian wars game called Hannibal

I'm 33, been gaming since around 1980, mostly boardgames. First wargame was Avalon Hill's "Battle of the Bulge", played Star Fleet Battles, Starfire series, a host of RPG games & WWII boardgames over the years. Kinda new to pc games, been playing SE series since 99/00. Just "went Gold", looking forward to experimenting with the new Version.

25, playing computer games since ... some sort of Nam-chopper-rescue-game on the AppleII-something. Got into wargames just after I recovered from the scourge of Magic: The Gathering (in '94 or '95, I guess).

My _Father_ played Starflight! I picked up a copy (of I nad II), but my (incurable) habit of hex-editing the save for any game with more than two stats and a story line made short work of both, and probably 'ruined' them for me.

Am 54, been a wargamer since way back. Started with AH's Gettysburg, during the JFK administration. Am a long time divorced person, with 2 kids. Am now living alone.. except for my 3 dogs. I am a security supervisor in a scientific facility in west Omaha. I live in a small town to the south. I love the country & hope to get an acreage someday.

Have played many of the board games & the computer games mentioned here by others. I have hundreds of both around the house, in various places. Just started on SEIV Gold ... glad that I ran across it.

Waiting for MOO3... hoping for MOM. Have played quite a bit vs. humans.. but the coordination for H2H, much less MP seems to be hard for me nowdays. Too many things...too little time.

Nice forum...nice people. I do find scrolling from the bottom a little odd. Will have some newbie questions shortly.

Time to mow the lawn. Busy day .. tmw.

Too bad about Avalon Hill. I heard "they got bought, everyone got fired, and the purchaser stopped production on all titles".

I am left rooting for WotC... dang.

45 - First computer was a Tandy custom built 8088. Spent $2700.00 one that one, my how times have changed. Got Might & Magic I and became forever hooked. Played Star Trek 25th Anniversry (I think), it was kinda cool romping about the galaxy, transporting people to and from various planets. My interest in gaming only grew, and with it a better and better understanding of the computer itself. Eventually switched careers to a PC Tech and now a Network Admin. Having fun can pay off.
