My parents thought 'pc games' were just a phase I was going through.. fkn bought me a 386 laptop though (at the time kewl). Pentium 133mhz was my first 'fast' pc though, 2mb graphics card! I'm so old now T___T

[Relic]

longtime gamer

Started with an amstrad cpc6128 tape drive where you had to write your own games and save them one screen at a time or it was lost. played rambo on that alot then inherited a disk version of the same machine, various other things like tandy, c64, amiga 500, sega, then a 486dx 33 that was state of the art, played robocop and a game called epic on that. Saved some lunch money and purchased c&c and wc2 which i played over a modem with a friend of mine when we were in high school, upgraded the pc with a bnc network card and lugged that thing all over the country "mummy im going to my mates place, you are taking me and im taking the computer" played way to much quake "used to dream about it" and then got into ultima online which lasted me a couple of years. then psx ps2 and ps3 fps and now back too pc and sc2, doing a job i like and playing as much Sc2 as i can till the missus gets annoyed and tells me to go to bed.
this is almost always when in the middle of something crucial.

Hello guys,

My history of gaming started when I was at the age of ten. A family friend who at that time was a somewhat computer technichan arranged my own personal computer. That pc was fast at that time and it was a 386 and during that time I first learned the game of Warcraft Orcs and Humans. As I was playing the game I first noticed that multiplayer can be played with a modem and through dialing with another person's computer, but then I was too young to understand that concept of multiplayer.

I also bought my first SNES, but I played almost all family computer games back then. Warcraft was the first game that I ever tried to play with a serious intent. I would repeat missions over and over. I still remember there were icons of conjurer and cleric, and that the fog of war was silly.

After some time I got used to warcraft and command and conquer: Red Alert was in hail. I played that game through my middle school (Grade 7 to first year high school). At that time I already had a 486 and the computer was powerful enough to run good games. I also played some Doom and Heretic too. But I was really fond of strategic games. I would skip club activities and then would go to the internet cafe by learning to take jeepney or a bus on my own (which my parents didn't allow).

During my second year of high school, Counterstrike and Starcraft was first introduced. I still remember the countless times I had to really skip my clubs / class to save seats in the internet cafe for usually eight to ten people. We would then play counterstrike and starcraft. I was zerg that time and I thought building a mighty all hydralisk force was already godlike. But it was eaten by one group of battlecruisers that time. We were still quite kids and didn't know more about strategies.

I skipped warcraft 2 and then during my fourth year in high school through maybe second year in college I played a lot of warcraft 3. I played with some good players from the Philippines ex: Jaczie and the like. I entered into small time tournaments in cafes as well and made a good tower rushing strategy. Well Tower rush was famous during that time. It was good to last , then when reality hit me when I was in third year of college, I was forced to resign in gaming for a good number of years.

Now I am already 28, I would like to make a comeback by playing some starcraft 2. I am still noobish at this game with only a platinum league rank. I still consider myself a bit noob because I always feel I get supply blocked a lot.

I also am playing Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion and would be playing Tekken Tag 2 when it comes out.

My favorite players of all time would still be SlayerS BoxeR for his endurance and resiliency and perseverance in starcraft as well as gaming world.

too much esports for me: http://pastebin.com/hcqb47X2

[wondercorn]

I play most of blizzard games just for fun. The most relax and fun I have is World of Warcraft and for me star craft is like a quick and intelligence type with quick response.

[Doctor]

My first RTS online game is starcraft 2 , enough said.
I did play BW , but offline or lan with my brother and his friend.

[VoiD]

I started off with Command and Conquer, some of the orignal Final Fantasy games ( I've finished FF1,4 and 6) and I used to play SC:BW a bit when I was younger, but i could never get the hang of it. Now I play SC2 and a few other games such as Oblivion and Team Fortress.

[Ascel]

I can't really remember much, but what i can remember:

Alex the Kid =D
james Bond: Golden Eye (Love this game =D)
Sonic
Pokemon xD
Starcraft Brood War
Almost all of the CoDs O.o

Now Pretty Much just on SC2 all the time =D

[mGGmetaStatic]

Just RTS's

Dune2 (now abandonware, I'm replaying it right now )
Z (best RTS of all time, "google for bitmap brothers")
Total Annihilation
Command and Conquer (all of them including Red Alerts)
Warcraft (all)
Supreme Commander 1 & 2
Dawn of War 1 & 2
Starcraft 2

AND I NEVER PLAYED BROODWAR o_0

[TABottles]

The only MMO i've played is Runescape. I've recently installed WoW's starter edition though.

[Digby]

Where to begin??
Well, from the beginning the very first game I played was FF7 on PS1 when i was 4, to this date it is my favourite game of all time (No hate please). Continuing on from there I proceeded to play FF8 and FF9 along with my GameBoy Colour games Pokemon Yellow FTW. Then I got PS2 and played FF10 pretty much, Xbox came along and played the shit out of Halo, Halo 2 Dead or Alive 3 Timesplitters 2 and 3. Then, there was the 360 that awesome sick as white box of goodness. Halo 3 Halo Reach CoD 2,3,4,5,6,7 Street Fighter 4 Lost Odyssey the list goes on...
It wasn't until recently my friend introduced me to the Resident Evil series which I love now, as well as Dino Crisis on PS1. I also have a PSP which I spend ages on Monster Hunter Freedom Unite looking forward to localised Portable 3rd (The next one in the series) so far only in Japan But with that said, SC2 is the ONLY computer game I play, I have Supreme Commander 2 but that sucks. As far as RTSs go, SC2 is my favourite, although I have played a lot of the Command and Conquer series as well as WC3 which I played at LANs a bit with some friends. Formerly known as Games Village, then known as 1Frog Gamesworld and now it's something else...

I only played games casually until about 2007 where I went to eGames expo in melbourne with some mates and destroyed a CoD5 LAN, from there I joined CG and got pretty good at CoD. Now I watch eSports pretty much every day and aspire to having some form of career in eSports

I went there! There were so many comps dedicated to CoD5 and Quantam of Solace.

[Antel0pe]

Grew up in Korea watching Brood War then came to Singapore when I was 4 and played some Halo: Combat Evolved then it was BroodWar, Maplestory, CS 1.6, Warcraft 3, Dota, CoD:MW2, Black Ops, CSS,TF2 then Starcraft 2 & MW3.

[Flamga]

I started playing BW and sucked so bad haha, people BM'ed me for being so bad... It was my first time playing multiplayer online :'(

A few weeks later I bough supreme commander forged alliance, which was pre awesome to play and got right into it. Managed to get to the top 300 ranked players before having to give it up for university, and funny enough my hero was TLO, and his partner TBO (the big one).

Then coming back from my break I find out he is pro SC2 and im 3 years out of high end gaming

Talk about sucks haha

Im coming for you TLO!!!!! I challenge you to sc2 and SC:FA

[Welshy]

My first agme I ever played was, LYLAT WARS (worth the caps), then I went onto playing battle realms with my primary school bf, we were like fully sick at it, it wasnt long after primary school that I got into xbox live halo, I played that for 3 years maybe, got semi good at it, got bored of xbox though, so I thought I would give WoW a go since one of my mates was all like "yeah man its pretty sweet ey" so I got the battlechest, lol best 80 bucks ever spent, I got a trial for sc2 in the case which made it worth it, I played WoW for like 2 days and I was doing nothing but greiving dungeons lol. now its me and sc2 for a long time

[Akilos]

well I started playing pacman and stuff as a kid which eventually evolved to me getting a PS1 and playing final fantasy 7, 8 and 9 which then moved on to pc games my first pc game ended up being Starcraft although I did only play it offline and in LAN eventually I got to warcraft 3 although I can say I wasn't exactly decent at the game and then came dawn of war all the way to soulstorm and pretty much took a break from RTS until a year after SC2 came ( got the game after my friend invited me to play it and I've been hooked ever since) oh I've been playing Skyrim a bit too much now I'm trying to get back into SC2 :P

[ToRFutureBoy]

Ahhhh the old days.....An Atari 800XL was the first console, if you can call it that, it took cartridges, and we had all the usual stuff, Donkey Kong, Pac Man.
Then I moved on to the Nintondo, the first one, with Mario Brothers. Played that to death.
After that it was the Sega Master System with the ever lovable Alex the Kid, picked up a few games from that, but nothnig really stood out.
The PS1 was a big step up, but again didn't play a lot of games on it.
It wasn't until I started playing Quake that I really enjoyed gaming. That (obviously) moved on to Unreal, and Unreal Tournament, and the joys of online gaming with a 300 ping.....hahah
From there I played a lot of Red Faction online, we even had our own clan, and probably the 2nd or 3rd best team in NZ. After this it was Red Alert and into BW.
The rest is history. Don't play as much as I'd like anymore, but I'm old and married, and work full time.

[mGGNemesis]

Funny how I find this thread after I was just sharing with some friends something similar. My first RTS games were probably Ancient Art of War at Sea and Dune 2. But before that my brother and I played Atari games and other smaller simple PC games. Then moved on to warcraft, c&c, sc1, master of magic, heroes of might and magic etc etc. Bought this super long cable to lan up between my brother's comp and mine across 2 bedrooms so that we can play broodwars... tried games such as diablo and descent but much prefer RTS games... though descent is pretty cool

[AusBox]

My gaming history in short.

Grew up playing games from a very young age.
PS1 -> Xbox -> X360 (PC as well. C&C1? Red Alert 1/2? C&C Generals? HELL YEAH!)

Joined ACL and started trying to get into competitive Halo/CoD.
SC2 was close to coming out, mate of mine was a massive fan of BW.

Started playing SC2, got to high diamond, went into Year 12, had to reduce playing.

Now: High School completed, heading to Uni, ACL adds SC2 to pro circuit. Looking to join USYD StarSoc. Gaming life looks awesome from here.
