I have been gaming for a very long time. My parents might probably say, too long. I remember playing Combat on an Atari VCS - CX2600. Hours before school, we'd congregate and blast the heck out of each other. I remember the overlays that came with some of the games. I still have one for the Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator. In my later years, I remember doing some Basic Programming on it, again with the overlays. My Commodore 64 also had a hand in my gaming addiction. I'd play Ghostbusters for hours and Pool of Radiance still has to be one of my favorite games on the console as well as Last Ninja. As the years went by, interactive fiction held my interest and then Nintendo's NES came. That probably tipped me over the edge, for soon after, I started collecting consoles as they were released. I still have the first two years worth of Nintendo Power magazines. I still pay as much attention to the oldies as I do the new. I also enjoy seeing what mods people have done and other games that have been made for the old consoles. Lately all my attention is drawn to my cobalt blue ds and 80 gig ps3. sorry microsoft, you just don't do it for me anymore.
