    That's good news (and a good mag to - never read that before)! When I saw that picture of Braben I thought "Wow - he's got OLD!". Then I remembered that he's only two years older than me :eek: He still sounds the same as in the old days though :)

    LOL!

    Yes I know what you mean. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of some ugly old bald bloke in a shop window and think "Eurgh! WTF is that!?" and it's me :(

    Still. I refuse to age gracefully. Never too old to do anything.

Obviously hate gaming with a passion...

    I watched/observed and then secretly played on my brothers consoles but I was too young to remember what they were, just know I screwed up a game save apparently even though I got further than they did, was a Zelda type game but it wasn't Zelda.

    Anyway that lead to parents buying me a NES as brothers protested I wasn't allowed to play on their console. TMNT, WWF, Mario & Airwolf were among the first few games I remember. After that it was Mega Drive & Mega Drive 2 with the usual Sonic, Street Fighter etc.

    First experience with online gaming I believe was C&C Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge on 56k dial up modem.

    I remember trying to land on the aircraft carrier. It was hard to figure it out at first.

    Wow, that was soo long ago, I think my first true video I ever did for gaming purposes was a recruitment video I did for CyberNations, then after that it would be a video for Perfect World...back when it was strictly a Malaysia based server...Oracle and Delphi...that was ages ago.
