It's nice to see other people talking about video games, especially since my life was full of that kind of things when I was really young.

I think my first video game on PC was Age of Empires 1 and also House of the Dead. I loved Age of Empires for some reason, and whenever I played at a neighbor's house, I refused to even go to the bathroom, just to avoid loosing at the game.

I cried the first time I played House of the Dead being scared and frustrated because I wasn't able to kill everyone.

Then I played Shrek 2, Tarzan, and when finally my parents purchased me a computer, I had a lot of games to play like Gothic 1 & 2, Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and Need for Speed Most Wanted (the...2005? version of the game) and all kind of other games.

Mario (the classic version) was also really fun, I had the pleasure to try some TMNT games at some friend's house, same with Robocop, Contra, and others like that.

Video games, among other things, made my childhood fun, and I will never look at video games like a way of wasting time, more like a fun time to spend it.
