Gawd this makes me feel old but here goes. Started gaming on PONG, and then progressed to an Activision console (which played PONG, sweet!) Superman and Pitfall were good too. (still have nightmares about that rope and swinging across that pit that seemed 1 pixel too far.)
From there went on to the;

Atari 2600, 5200
Vic 20, C-64 (actually did some programming on them, Ever try and write code in Assembly language Hex code? NOT FUN)
Amiga 500 (Dungeon master FTW)
Intel 486sx33 (Dungeon master port was terrible, but I found ZORK which proves you dont need graphics to be entertained)

Well you get the idea. Played a lot of consoles, and a lot of games;

Easier then listing the titles I have not played, the ones I dont own are the PvP ones. With the exception of Unreal. Not a big fan of the whole PWND sceen. I do own most RPG/RTS games made since 1980. Online games I got into in 1994 notably;

UO (Beta and a few months live)
EQ (Beta 3, 3.2, 3.5, 4 and into release up to Velious)
SWG (Beta 3 months live)
Asherons call (Beta game wasnt worth playing past that)
City of Heroes (Beta and 9 months live)
.....
snip (again its probly easier to list what I havent played)
.....
Anarchy Online (Because its free )
And now Vanguard: Saga of Soon(tm)

Has lots of potential, but so does a meteor heading for the sun. Just hanging around to see what wins.

What appeals to me is whats posted in the description about TOG. I have a life, and I need an occasional AFK to tell the kids to stop trying to flush the dog. Ya know? Anyway, I look forward to grouping with you guys on the Saradon Server sometime.

Hi Gearsn,
An admin will be along to suss out your application shortly so don't despair
You sure seem to enjoy a variety of games - what are you into at the moment? FPS, MMO. .. ?? Don't hold back

[Gearsn]

MMO have always had an appeal. The whole community thing. but theres a lot to be said about single player RPG/RTS. i am a great strategist. Played Elderscrolls some. Conquered Warcraft 3 in 4 days i think. Dunno, played too long as it was per day. All i remember is it went by in a blur.
