I'm pretty old, i was hooked to PC gaming when the first PC got home, i was well versed in gaming since i owned a Family Game (bootleg spinoff of the Famicom) and a Mega Drive (licensed), So games weren't a stranger for me, but... i had one of the first PC gamer issues (licensed locally) and inside i found a CD with a demo for "dominion: Storm over gift 3", It was a RTS, a totally new genre for me, and since that day there was no turning back, spent the next two days without sleep trying to learn how to play that thing.
Awesome
Todd porter, wherever you are, i salute you
