[DONE] Application to join

[Jimbo Jones]

Hello,

I would like to apply to join TOG. I live in Perth, Australia.

I'm 34, and have been playing games pretty much my whole life. First in 1979/1980, when my father bought a System 80, which was a clone of the more popular TRS80. I caned that machine. Everything had to be loaded by cassette tape, which was flaky, and the system had a memory of 16k. Memorable games on that unit were Rescue at Rigel, Hellfire Warrior, and some I only now have a picture in my head left. But the gameplay of them stands today.

Atari 2600 was the next love (could only use one at mates place though), River Raid being a standout for me, but lots of others. The same period saw me invest a lot of cash into 1942 & Gauntlet machines in arcades.

Apple IIgs was next, where I was a fiend on the original Bard's Tale, as well as many old Apple II games (choplifter, Aztec, others I can't remember again).

School PC's were a fave also at that stage, where The Ancient Art of War was my personal love, as well as Jet.

Strangely, Unix machines kept me occupied for a few years at uni, playing Moria and its clones, and a few of the first MUD's.

PC's were next, and thats where its been since. Doom II is probably one of the landmarks in the 90's for a while, then onto so many others, Descent... memory fails me.

The last decade has seen me on many, but the ones that stand out were Red Alert 2, RTCW, Age of Empires 1 & 2, Roller Coaster Tychoon, Quake 2/3 Arena, UT2004, Ghost Recon, Flat Out...

As I travel a lot, I have recently even been onto short, turn based games, where I can submit my turn while in airport lounges, or the games only last 20-30 minutes. Risk, Chess games, and Tactics Arena Online. Marvellous.

I get into Strategy, FPS, and anything quirky (e.g. Portal recently).

To me, its the gameplay over everything else.

I declare that:

1. I am over 25.
2. I have read and AGREE to abide by the TOG Code of Conduct
3. I have read and AGREE to and abide by the TOG Acceptable Useage Policy (AUP)
4. I have read and AGREE to abide by the Forum & Server Guidelines
5. I have read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Document.

Gidday Jimbo.
Superb introduction mate, many thanks for putting the effort into your application.
Everything looks in order, so you will just have to wait for one of our friendly TOG Admin to come and process you.
Once that has happened, you will have access to our Private Forums.

Cheers mate, I hope you have fun here.
