My dad was a major repair head for a certain big manufacturer so he raised us watching him and mom play point and clicks like Sierra or Zork line, so longing to play and adding my input started there.

I don't remember, it was way back in time. The computers that I had access contained the 8086, 6502, Z80, 8088. I also was writing code for the 1541 drive to read disks outside the "normal" tracks or even half tracks.

I still remember making my first backup copy of Super Utility. The program would help you make backups of other software but not of itself. Kim Watt, I know what you did. I still have the 5.25 disks.

If you know what any of these are, I believe you are old.

Ok, you did not ask for all of that. But here we are.

4 years old around christmas 1979 it was first console play on an Intellivision that an older cousin had with Space Invaders. My first computer game played on a computer was Oregon Trail on a Apple II computer in elementary school sometime in 1985. And then the library had an IBM 5150 8088 with DOS in 1986 and learned some GW-Basic on that and had fun copying programs in Basic out of a book and magazines to type exact to the GW-Basic IDE and run programs and mess with stuff and cause and effect learn Basic Programming as well as learn how to correct syntax errors either made by myself or a typo in the print of the magazine.

I started playing computer games when I was about 6. My first ones were really simple—stuff like platformers and arcade games that my parents would set up on our old desktop. I remember getting hooked on the challenge of figuring things out on my own, especially since we didn't have guides or walkthroughs back then.

I started playing very early on, probably when I was 7 or 8. I remember playing games like Tank wars and oregon trail a lot on my school computers in the late 90s and early 2000s. I didn't start playing true online games until runescape became big and I started WoW a few months before AQ came out
