I kick off this reminiscing of sharing memories growing up.
I started my addiction with release of the pong game
and played and owned countless games and consoles sens then.
One sys I remember fondly is Philips VideoPack G7000
Remember played a lot of Munchkin and was the first time I came in contact with Basic

This was one of my first game ever own
Game & watch Octopus
Had a lot of consoles and tested different things
all from ColecoVision to Vectrex,
but the one I played the most,
until I went all computer, was The Atari 2600
growing up with epic games,
all from Infocom text adventures, dungeon master up to
epic adventures such as myst.
Played for years on end in Anarchy-Online and then WoW,
and now I quit Neverwinter, going back to solo games,
getting to old I guess, cant handle the skills part I guess.
Tried a few rounds with the cleric at 8.4K GS, well gear and good solid rotation,
and it aint working in da pugs, and Im not a leader, if I opinionated, or ask for direction
surten I would get either kicked or flamed, was also hard to find equal mature players guild.
So this old timer, going back under the rock remembering the good old day of mmo's as they should be.
Well, when you realize your not to old and can handle the skills part again I might see you around in the big bad land of NeverWinter

Thanks, who knows what future patches might do...
Back to the old school gaming...
In the late 70s when every one wanted action
I encountered a game that would change my life for ever !
It was called AdventureLand
In text only describing where I was and asking the most sinister question ever
What shall i do ? (clip here of the game)
I could control what happen, I was there, it was my quest !
I was hooked for life, been adventuring ever sens.
So if I had to choose a defining moment of gaming, this is sure it.

Thats sad, there are some good guilds out there, you just have to know where to look. Tyr Paladium, The Older Gamers, The Old Timers Guild, and The Guild of Icwind Dale are all very good guilds

for some reason I stuck with the Atari line, went trough the xe/xl models fast.
Think it has to-do with that the local store highlighted them more than others.
Now opens up the world of piracy, games on tape.
Parents getting worried as I started to send and receive large quantities
of padded brown mail bags.
As Im 44 years old now, got kids of my own,
giving them a laser gun or any sound generating toy, gives instant migraine.
Ok imagine this sound comes from your child's room on a regular basis
[more to come]
ps
@deathssickle Thnx m8, I will check them out
Right now only thing holding me here is this community,
curiosity of D&D (dice&paper game) and the future of the foundry.
had also videopac ;p nice to see a picture of it, the handheld thingy in 2nd post were also so nice ;p
imagine the time it would take if neverwinter had to load of tape hehehe
Lol WoW that 5.1 surround sound High Def quality

Still remember walking in the Computer Land store,
seeing the amazing graphics and hearing at the time unheard of, wow, 4 channel sound system.
Demo scene was relative a small world, but had a huge impact,
some of my childhood friends scored jackpot being part in creating Pinball Dreams,
many in the demo scene still works all around the world, one way or another in gaming.
Due to my involvement in the scene landed my first job, creating and producing
a game review show on Swedish national television.
But that's a whole new story.....
Part from making music and graphics,
I stuck to adventure gaming, all from text/click adventures to roleplay.
Now it is hard to pick favorites, one had one to many to choose from.
But I'm gona show two that I really sunk my teeth into
Dungeon Master
and Eye of the beholder
