Gotta love the good ol' days of Quake/Quake 2. Then shortly after HL and CS, Rainbow Six/Rogue Spear. I still got the game around here somewhere.
Doom 2 was fun.

I've been a gamer basically since the days of the arcade but what really got me hooked on computer gaming were RPGs.

When my uncle showed us Wold3d on his laptop I thought it was the coolest thing ever! Parents said don't give our kids that game.. well shareware and bbs ftw! I really think the King's Quest series is what really hooked me.

Ah, how about the old DOS based game on the Tandy computer called Rogue.  Hehe, not that is going way back.

Well for me its hard to say when I got the bug. I remember my cousins had a black and white box with knobs that they hooked up to the family TV. I'm thinking it was '76 or maybe '77. Yes, it was PONG. But I don't think that's when I got bit. Many of my neighbors had consoles (Atari 2600, Intellivision, and the C64 too) that I didn't have to ask my parents for one. I could just go to the house that had the system I wanted to play and get my Jones on.

But to say what game really got me started in PC gaming. I would claim: Tomb Raider. The game that sucked me in i.e. the biggest time-sink when it was released: Omikron The Nomad Soul. I never finished that one because the first time I played it I lost track of time and my GF asked me if I was going to eat dinner. I asked her what time it was and she said 10:30 pm. Huh Shocked Wha?!?! Four HOURS after I stared playing. It was at least a month before I played it again. Smiley

I am disappointed for the LACK of any good multiplyer RPGs (not MMORPGs) on the PC or any platform for that matter.

I am looking forward to D3 of course but too bad there are not any other good RPGS out or coming out.

Dude I loved that game!  Also for the commador 64 I had a tape drive and a game that would only load half the time called "temple of Apishi" or something to that effect. Was a real cool rpg at the time. Cool
