I posted my original response to this thread a while ago, but I figure it's time for an update since I turned 32 Last week.

I'd complain about feeling old, but I think I'm near the average for this board

I will turn 30 this September.

As far as I go I have been playing games for a very long time. My first games came way of the Atari 2600 and Vic 20, and then grew to the school's TRS-80's and Apple computers. I also played various board games and RPG's (Paranoia, Star Frontiers, D&D and AD&D, Powers and Perils, Marvel Super Heroes, Battletech, etc).

I first got into PC Gaming with Battlehawks 1942 and Castle Wolfenstein and Civ. The first PC I ever bought for myself was bought to play games like CivII, Panzer General, and the MOO series.

I have been involed in the gaming industry since I started beta testing in 97 and shortly began writing reviews after that. Then unto The Wargamer for a stint before meeting Tim and helping him out with Shrapnel.

Something you guys might not know is that Andy Stingel from Gone Gold and PvK turned me unto SE:IV first, as well as a few other eMailers. When I got the CD my first thought was "Why isn't a larger game company publishing this" and then I relized that they are all filled with moron's now

I will turn 39 in August.

My love for this genre stretches back to the days of "Reach For the Stars", "Imperium Galactica", "Colonial Conquest", and many others on the old warhorse that was "C64".

Content & imagination went a log way and SE IV has captured the essence of that to perfection.

I�m 35! Whaaaaaaa! But, i feel much younger! (giggle)

As most of you - my first one was an ATARI Mega ST. With this computer, my love to PC-games arrised.

Funny to see, that a lot of folks here around 30 or more. Didn�t expect this. But, it�s a good feeling, not to be alone.

BTW, i�m not married, never was and hopefully never will be. No kids, no cat no dog. My life is free, so that i can play all the time, after work.
My girlfriend hates this, but who cares (hehehehehe).
Greetings to all here.

Im 39 again, and again, and again.

My first home computer was a demo board with a Motorola 6800 8 bit proccessor. We had Basic on 8K of ROM! We (techs) added keyBoards and a color TV output. Later we all added 64K dynamic ram.

Years later I bought an XT with two floppy drives. It was so nice to have that extra drive, I could just leave the DOS disk in drive A.

UPGRADES HAPPEN!!!
