38, a head and neck surgeon, and a veteran of both computer games and old board wargames such as "Panzergruppe Guderian". The first Online game I ever played was "Empire", a real time space shooter on the worldwide PLATO network in the early eighties.

Turned 28 Last month. UK citizen serving in the RAF in Germany. Posted to UK in August.

I am primarily a roleplayer. My games history includes the ancient but still fun- Ascendancy, Master of Orion 2 and now I'm hooked on SEIV. At present I am limited to the demo, but the full Version is winging it's way to me.

Are there any other UK players here?

There certainly ought to be; Great Britain is #3 on the Top Ten list of where Shrapnel ships games, and SE IV is one of their best sellers.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

I'm 48, and I'm a general internist.

I also frequent the Apolyton Civilization Forums. It's interesting to note that the members of this forum tend to be older and are more varied in occupation than those at Apolyton.
It's also nice to see another MD on a gaming forum. Now I don't feel so guilty about playing computer games.

good to meet everyone, here goes....

just turned 36, married, having our first child in February (very excited!!) live just outside of Toronto, Canada.

Work as a Project Manager for an IT company, and I keep telling my wife that I need to play 4X games to keep my organizational, planning and management skills sharp

Panzer General, most Avalon Hill games...
Got into computers because of the games!! Starfire was first I think.... Civilization - best game ever, until I played SEIV.....
addicted to GOLF (the real game...not computers) am SOOOOOOO close to breaking 80 for the first time, that I can't stop playing...

cheers guys and girls
