Heard of it, not sure if I'll ever use it. I already have Steam games piling up that I need to play. Although, there is one game that if they have, I'll almost definitely get it: Do they have Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds? (The RTS game). Another great game lost to the passage of time, I'm afraid.

I think I started years ago with a super old version of Prince of Persia when I was in elementary school! Then throughout the years, I casually played on PC, games likes Tomb Raider (with the butler in the freezer and the dinosaur at one point!! smiley: biggrin), and on some friends' consoles (Sonic and Streets of Rage on SEGA, Resident Evil 4 & some James Bond game on GameCube, some Street Fighter, a bit of Playstation here and there). That was so long ago, I cannot remember how old I was! smiley: biggrin



In 2008, I got Half Life, on Steam and that's when I became some kind of nerd. smiley: smile

I managed to get my Banjo Tooie cartridge, though. I bought the game (and its prequel) again over the Xbox 360 Arcade, but I still have my N64 version, basically as a souvenir of my childhood.

I guess the only answer I can give to this is "being born". My mom and dad were both playtesters for Chainmail and the original Dungeons and Dragons pen-and-paper games, and my dad was a senior software engineer for DEC. Put the two together, and I was kinda destined to become a computer gamer...




That's awesome. I suppose you didn't have much of a choice in your destiny, did you? smiley: stickouttongue Did you get to hear anything about your parents' impressions of the current games they were playtesting?

Command and Conquer. I started with Generals. There went my childhood.

I also played Banjo Tooie on the N64. Game of the year, all years.
