Before the Xbox 360 I've never owned a console. The first game I played on my Sharp Mz-800 was called Nakamoto, a platform game where you could also create your own levels. This was back in 1986.



I also made my own games for the MZ-800, my best one so far was "boksen", a boxing game with vector gfx. It was slow and not very accurate, but I was proud on how I managed to compose and squeeze "Eye of the Tiger" out of the 3 tone sound generator. I used this machine well into the first years of the 90's, until I got a Commodore PC20-III. There I played Prince of Persia on Hercules monochrome.

After a year of horror and pain, I saved up enough money and bought a new PC, a AMD 386DX40 with 387 Co-processor. There I played a lot of games on and was active in the Demo-scene. I had that computer for many years as it was top-of-the-line when I bought it, and was one of the first in the Netherlands to have a CD-Writer so I could save a lot of data away from my hard drive. I played 4D-Stunts by Broderbund, The incredible Machine (a Rube Goldberg puzzle game), Lemmings, all the Leisure Suit Larry games (up to 5), and many more awesome games.



I then had a DX4-100 which was a piece of crap, followed by a PII-600 which was a good pc, I used it mostly for Doom3D, Duke Nukem, and Quake. I skipped the P3 era, and went for a AMD Athlon X2. During this time gaming was on a low, the only game that I was interested in was GTA3, and its sequel, Vice city. I did play a little Medal of Honor Allied Assault, and Wolfenstein 3, but that was pretty much it. That was also the time I was mostly active with building my combat robots, and that took a lot of time, and being a board member of the Roosendaalse Computer Club I hardly did anything for myself on computers.

Now I have only a laptop, and an Xbox 360, where I mostly play sandbox games like The Saboteur, and Assassins Creed II and Brotherhood.
