Ohh the heydays of gaming. For me it started bright and early. I remember back in the day, we got our first IBM computer, a 486 clocked at 40 MHZ. Boy did me and my brother play the heck out of that thing, that computer costs my parents a good grand or two back then. I played everything from Doom, to Blake Stone, to all the point and clickers, up till we couldn't play the new stuff that was coming out, like Quake 1. Quake 1 required a 90 mhz at least, along with StarCraft and all the other oldies but goodies. Command and Conquer, Duke Nukem 3d, Hexen, Heretic, amongst alot ton of others. From there it was basically a daily thing for me, I did have quite an addiction, but I did keep it under control as well, I could have played less, but I was able to balance a social life, along with keeping up with my school work as well, *censored* all that tinkering with electronics and such even helped me get the job I have now. I'm still pretty much addicted, but I do play way much less, as work and real life set in, you really don't have the stamina anymore to sit in front of a computer screen for 8 hours at a time. Now, I stick to one game for a while, then move on to something different. Heck, I used to juggle three games at a time, ohh boy now that I read all this back, I was a freaking addict.
