Knightshade Belladonna WH0 G1VSA FL0CK GLOCKS 297	Posted - 2013.05.26 00:39:00 - [31] - Quote Mario Bros. , countless times of being yelled at to turn it off and go to bed by the parents..

I just thought of a much better answer to the OP's questiion, the "old timer" title, threw me off a bit., back to when I was young. There was one game that got in my blood that I spent years on. in fact I have never stopped. Many of thousands of hours have been dedicated to community content and modifications for one game. In 2003, when I was 38, I bought a used copy of Neverwinter Nights. I went on to create a number of mods for the game. I was well-known in the NWN community for my ability and inginuity to combine and edit the game's tilesets. I created, built and ran single-handedly my own 300 area Persistant World game server during 2004. Several years ago I received Hall of Fame status for a game mod I created in 2006. Because of my modding efforts in Neverwinter Nights I have learn't how to use a number of programs including: Paint Shop Pro Photoshop GMAX and 3DSMax Linux Debian plus numerous editors and tools specific to NWN Because of my experience with Neverwinter nights, I have done personal mods for Fallout 3 and The Witcher. Last year when I turned 47, I started doodling around again in 3DSMax. The result so far has been some Doctor Who related items. Namely Tom Baker's Sonic Screwdriver,(to scale, over 10,000 polys). TARDIS interior console and walls, (3rd/4th Doctor) and a TARDIS itself that I'm still working on. Oh, and half an Imperial Dalek. In Playstation Home, I own the name " Neverwinter" for my clubhouse (closed until I re-release my NWN server) There you go a nice detailed account to the OP's question. :) Cheers, Jackal_GB
IMPAIRS YOUR ABILITY Goonfeet 31	Posted - 2013.05.26 01:22:00 - [37] - Quote In the beginning it would have been pitfall for me on the 2600. In the 21st century Socom 1-CA then MAG, now Dust 514. Somewhere in the 90's Phantasy Star Online on the dream cast ate my life.
Liu Kaizong PROJECT 86 U 43	Posted - 2013.05.26 01:48:00 - [38] - Quote World War 2 Online back in 2001. Persistent world MMOFPS. Amazing game. Still around to some degree I believe.

I was scrolling through and getting worried I had not seen Super Mario Bros but you save it. I have to go with that also, it is the first "real" game I played and mastered.

Me, Ultima 4. I actually played it for 19 hours straight, in someone else's dorm room, while they slept. It was 1986, by the way, some of the respondents gave the year of their addiction, and that's a nice touch. I played the **** out of Ultima IV, but I was too young to damage relationships. My brother an I took turns, one would map dungeons and support while the other played. The one in this genre that really took my breath away was Descent. Damn I loved that game. The one that has done the most relationship damage was farming my WoW PVP title back in the day. I only got to Lieutenant Commander, but that was a slog. I did help our guild leader to become the first Grand Marshal on our server though.

Pent'noir Algintal Core Gallente Federation 90	Posted - 2013.05.26 04:55:00 - [50] - Quote My family had a commodore 64 and turned the closet into a mini computer room, which was just big enough for a chair and a small table.. I think I spent more time playing the ultima's in that closet than being outside. Parents would joke about sending me to the closet to get me out of their hair. The ultima's were my first experience of exp/gold grinding and eventually hex editing to see if I could kill lord british. If I remember right, in 1 and 2 you could grind to be strong enough to kill him but the others had to be edited. And so began my anti social issues at a fairly young age, the game even helped teach me how to read.

Etero Narciss Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 140	Posted - 2013.05.26 04:59:00 - [51] - Quote So many games... But Medieval: Total War was the first game that ever kept me up until the wee hours of the morning. For extra fun, I played it back before i understood the importance of upgrading video cards. My game sessions consisted of pitting white triangles against other white triangles, and a map that was literally all white (so I had to more or less guess which region I was in). I learned so many things enduring that.

I just realized where that's from. You sir get a +1 ... I can't belive I missed that the first time around... Need to find a peasant to fireball to clear my head.
