The first game I ever played was the original Leasure Suit Larry when I was quite young.. I can't remember exactly when, but late 80's or early 90's.
After that my dad bought me and my brother a NES and we played a lot of games! turtles, duckhunt, mario brothers 1 and 2, Defenders of the Crown (I loved strategy games after that) .. you name it.. My father must have spent a fortune come to think of it.
Then me and my brother saved some money to buy a Amiga 500 .. We played so many different games - don't ask me how my brother could afford them all, but as far as I could tell they were all legal.
Then in 94 we got a PC, I think it was 386 80 Mhz or something. And here I started playing all the different games I could get my hands on that came out in those following years.
I started prefering strategy games, like Warcraft, Dune etc. But I got really hooked on RPG when I played the original Baldurs Gate. After that I've mainly played RPGs or RTS/TBS games (EU/HoI/TW etc).
