Do you think I should join the group? :-[

I hope to God they aren't paying for that, because that just shows a weak will. It's like the people who lose friends and family because they can't stop chatting on yahoo or something, very sad.

Gaming is good, it's a way to relax (most of the time), you just can't take it too seriously.

What game does vL play now?

First computer game I played was some DOS game called Space Wars. Wonder if I could find that again.

I could make it for you if you can give me a thorough enough description.

Me too. I played some game with a hamburger theme on an atari console a very long time ago.. It was an arcade platform type game.

Burger Time!!!

Intellivision was rox0r.  I had an intellivision since I was born, and I played it *all* the time.  My favourites were a D&D game (Minotaur), Bump and Jump, Pinball, Burger Time, Utopia, Dungeons and Dragons (not minotaur, different one), and many, many others I can't even remember.  I've been meaning to hook it back up recently :)

For computers, the first games I played a lot were WEP games (Windows Entertainment Pack - came on 4 floppies, and was for win3.1.. is that the one you mean? - especially JezzBall.  Also, Hugo's House of Whores (Wait, it was Hugo's House of Horrors, my mistake).  I remember playing that game a LONG time ago, and thinking, "I wish I knew hyow to write a program like this!"  That was what actually made me start learning programming.

After that, I played nibbles a lot.  It was written in QBasic, and I took every part of that game apart and figured out how it works.  By the time I was done with it, I know a hell of a lot more about programming than I did before it.
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

The game that got me into computers was Command and Conquer 1, the game is so bad.  The graphics are horrible!
