Wow.....way way back when Asteroids, Sub Hunter, Start Castle, Defender...all those old arcade games. Junior High School...used to spend all my lawn money and paper route money...ride my bike down to the local arcade.

Then the first Atari 2600 came out....weeee....

Things moved on up from there.

I remember the first Castle Wolf...on a, hrmmm, 386 possibly...might have been a 286..can't remember.

Heh, long time...now I'm showing my age....

I'll put it you this way, I remember when Pong came out in the early 70's.

I remember that.....on those old consoles sold at Sears I think...

Didn't really play it though, maybe couple of times

I was figuring.."When did you get HOOKED on gaming"

...Or did Pong hook you? Heeeee

Played since the days of pong back in the 70's...my dad's parents had one of those pong consoles (back around 76 or 77 I think), and my mom's parents bought us an Atari 2600 for Christmas of '79...we got Combat and Breakout with it that year

So, in terms of years, 26...
