TOG - The Older Gamers

Hello everyone. I am a 42 year old gamer out of a suburb of St. Paul, MN (USA). I have been gaming since the Atari 2600 where my all time favorite game was Enduro, a racing game. I would stay up all night with my mom quite often also playing Sub Attack (if I remember the name correctly). She'd usually beat me, but alot of fun was had.

After that I progressed to the C64/128 (I still have a fully functioning C16 in my closet!). My favorite game there was called Droiath. It was a maze game. I really liked Zork as well.

Finally I got into the pc and worked my way from a 286 (blazing fast, too, for it's time) up to my current Athlon 3400+ machine.

As of now, my favorite games to play are City of Heroes, Heroes of Might and Magic series (3 being my fav), and lately I've been hooked on Sid Meir's Pirates!

As requested, I did read the AUL and FAQ. Who's the lawyer? lol All that legal mumbo jumbo! I get it though. Gotta protect everyone from the owners all the way down to us that keep (or will keep) this site running....and it looks like a great site.

I am part of TOG Allies on City of Heroes but they told me how to become a full fledged member, so here I am.

When I'm not spending all my time playing CoH I am at work as a cook at the local restaurant. Very convenient....3 blocks from home (sometimes a curse!). I also have 2 great children aged 18 and 15 who also play CoH. Surprisingly, we don't team all that often.

I have been playing CoH for a little over 15 months now and have 2 level 50's (max level in the game) and several on the way to it. That's alot of gaming!!!! (Yeah, not much of a social life here...lol) So far, I have beaten Pirates only on Easy mode and plan to conquer it at the other two levels it has (or is it 3?).

Anyway, that's about it for me. Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
