I know the feeling Asmala. I feel like a little kid compared to everyone else here. I'm same age as you BTW. I have had SEIV ever since early Last year. I forget which month. I know I pre-ordered Gold though. So that tells ya something. But I have been around this community ever since March.

New enough, I suppose.

I am 34, bearing down hard on 35 (April), and have spent the Last 10+ years in the Air Force. Computer programmer by trade; currently doing mostly web database stuff, and trying to avoid documentation. My first computer was a Trash-80 CoCo, complete with the chicklet keyboard and 16K o' memory. I had it hooked up to this sorry 19' TV my dad fished out of the local dump. Ah, those were the days... ...lapses into wistful memories...

I'm 53,a Viet Nam vet and am on disability. I was an electonic tech for 25 years. You name it I repaired it

Got my first computer in '93. Took about a year for me to get serious into gaming. Now I have between 150-200 games. (many of the Sharpnels )

Altho I've had SE4(and now the Gold) for a long time I'm just now starting to play it. (and getting my butt whipped I might add).

I live out in the boonies in the suburbs of beautiful downtown Hogeye,Ar. A town so poor our hog can only afford one eye.

Hi,I'm Dave and I'm a PC gaming junkie.

Hi, I'm 28, previously a computer game programmer (Sega's NHL 2K2 for the Dreamcast) but gone back to school because i can't get a job

I taught myself how to program on the Atari 800 way back when I was 9. Been hooked on computers ever since, learning C in High School and recently enrolling in a Game Programming class at Palomar College.

My first strategy game was either Perfect General or Empire Deluxe, can't remember which was first, but I had both. I also can't remember where I found SEIV but I'm glad I did. I hope to take a crack at PBW as soon as the server is back up (Go Schmo!). I also play RTS's and FPS (shooter or sneaker (Go Garrett!)) but my fave is space flight sims (cut my teeth on Star Raiders).

I also enjoy roleplaying games, such as Champions and V:TM, but my favorite system is GURPS (although not really a RPG, I also love Car Wars)

Many Victories!

EDIT: Can't believe I left "strategy" misspelled for so long.

Am 41. Employed by USAF in Texas. I make programmers do documentation. Played board wargames since the 80's (Started with Tactics II?) and still think hex maps are neat. Played more SPI then Avalon Hill games. Wish I still had all of them (even the really bad ones). Subscribed to Strategy and Tactics for years till board wargaming and SPI gave way to pen and paper games. (Dungeon and Dragons, the original 3 pamphlet Version. Could not understand it at first. No map or counters, LOL )

Played computerized Versions of D&D and board wargames for years after that along with D&D. Friend showed me SEIV when a new MOO? came out and read reviews that SEIV sounded better.

Still have my Everquest account but currently spend more time in SEIV.

Computer history: Started with TI-994a, still have it, then an Atari 400, an Atari 800, Commodore? 64, and then an Emerson 286 was my first Ibm Compatible.

Am 34 to be exact.
A doctor, graduated -99, now in my first year in the radiology department (will take 5+ years to become radiologist).
Have two kids so I only have time for turn based Strategy. Plays other stuff on occasionally LAN parties with friends.
Got my first computer around 83 I think. A Sinclair ZX-81, for you americans that would be a Timex.
Later on I imported a Amstrad CPC-486, went three years in school to become a computer repairman. Changed my mind, worked in a shop as an assistant for a year, made my military service and worked after that in the health care, thereby dooming myself to becoming a doctor.
Lives in Sweden with a wife who doesn't enjoy computers whatsoever, doesn't understand Sci-fi at all, but she puts up with my indulgances!
Got the game late spring and has played initially with friends and now PBW, don't play the AI.
