Just turned 74. Ex Air Force Flight Surgeon, F-100s et al, watched the Berlin Wall go up and go down, remember the Korean war (which is largely forgotten), had a father with Chennault and the AVG in Kunming. Much experience modding combat flight sims (no surprise there) and started with SHI. I find the modding, code modifications, challenges of technic, and the learning curve quite satisfying. Am impressed with the commitment to quality programming and patience with questions I find in the SH3 (and in the flight sim) world most commendable. Hat off to all of you experienced modders (Jimbuna, Lehman, Racerboy, the GWX and NYGM teams...and the others whose names escape me) we all benefit from your fine work.

43. Played my first computer game in a shop in sheffield on the way to a games workshop site. apple star trek game. my first computer dragon 32 which i learnt to program on. first program I wrote was a D&D character generator. Now program for a living.
First major game that blew my socks off.. wolfenstein 3d...you could actually look around corners

Still can play doom in my head every level of the shareware version. Favourite games Doom2, Doom3(mod of doom), Civ , AOD, SH3, EU3, Crusader Kings, SimCity and my latest fave Space Rangers 2

Major gripes of the computing industry.. Multplayer is the focus against AI for single player... MP is far easier to program for. Whereas AI is not worth the investment.
Graphics adds to the immersion factor but has lost out to gameplay. I am now at the stage where I can honestly say bugger the new games wait for bargin bin.. whearas I used to buy a game a month..

25. Started the computer back when the AMSTRAD CPC 6128 was at its glory then switched to a 386 and pentium and so on...
As far as subsim, gone from wolfpack to AOD through all Silent hunter games and 688/ sub command.
As for other games, Flight simulator series and also was an avid fan of morrowind/oblivion ( a little less for the last one).
I also play a lot Red Orchestra
