Wholfen Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I just wanted to give a Thx to Nexus, Bethesda, and all the great modders out there. I'm probably one of the oldest gamers you'll find. I'm 64 and been playing RPGs since Baulders Gate. Skyrim is the best game I've ever played, and with the help of Nexus and great mods it is becoming a perfect combo of playability and 1st class graphics. Thanks again to all envolved.

My first computer was an Atari 1200XL and loved Space War. The 1200XL came out when I was in my 30s. Built my 3rd PC a little over 2 years ago with AMD quad core black edition, oc'd to 3.5ghz (just using air cooling). running 8 gig ram and dual nvidia 260s in SLI mode on 32" monitor. A long way from the Atari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a beautiful game, not without it's flaws, but certainly the best game i've played for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first graphical RPG on PC was either Ultima or Wizardry, and Dragon Warrior was my first on console. Good times. You missed out on some great classics.

abaris Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 No worries. I bet many people's first video gaming experience was pong, including myself. Mine too. But it wasn't on the computer but on some sort of console you hooked up with an aerial cable. That was back in '75. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one with 4 modes? Single and double pong, 1 player or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gahnzz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I can't remember my first, but Adventure, Warlords and Mad Bomber from the 2600 stick out. I also played through all the King's Quest series, along with Police Quest, Space Quest and other games by Sierra On-Line. But "Adventure" was the first one that really made an impression. For all you whippersnappers out there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_(Atari_2600) And, I just want to echo what the OP said. Thank you to the community for always keeping the games we love (despite their faults) relevant, entertaining and cutting edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
