=== My Gaming History ===
=== My Gaming History ===
Although I'm relatively young, I grew up playing NES and Atari games, and I still have many of my NES carts (we went through maybe 4 systems but none survived).  PC games were also a big thing, since my brother purchased a Pentium 400 or something that I used to play [[Commander Keen]] games and [[Warcraft: Orcs and Humans]] on.  Eventually I killed that computer (I have no idea how, DOS is magical XD) and we got a newer one later which I used to play [[Ascendancy]], [[Civilization]], [[Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness]], and [[The Secret of Monkey Island]] on (all of which I sucked at).

I think I was 8 or so before I got my SNES (it was like $115 used with several games), which I still have.  I was given [[Shadow Run]] as part of the bundle, which after being stumped on as a little noob, I went and traded it for [[Secret of Mana]]; a great trade indeed (although I had to pay an extra $20 or so).  I feel bad for getting rid of that game though, I have only traded/sold like five games in my life and I've regretted every single exchange.  I remember writing an essay around this time and one of the main influences of the imagery that still stands out in my memory comes from the sprites and items present in [[Secret of Mana]]... wow.

I have only traded/sold around five games in my life and I've regretted every single exchange.  I remember writing an "essay" in the third grade where I basically wrote about a mix of reality and visual ideas from the sprites and items present in [[Secret of Mana]]... wow.


(Side note; sold games: [[Shadow Run]], [[Swat Cats]], [[Vagrant Story]], this one basketball game for Xbox though I gave it away instead of selling it; lost games T_T: [[Banjo Kazooie]], [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]])

At the age of 16 I got a student Visa with a low limit.  Thus the ability to purchase things online was now mine.  I went on a [[:Category:Sega Genesis|Genesis]] rampage and now have 1-3 consoles (I haven't checked my inventory for a while), about 10 controllers, several crazy adapters, a 32X without a connector cable (T_T), a Menacer Rifle, about 8 [[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]] cartridges, and many other games.

I recently acquired a PlayStation, and am borrowing (for a very long time) a PlayStation 2 (one that can't play PSX games, so I'm glad to have both systems).


That's about it, 'cept I've been buying games in between my whole life.
