PC-Gaming history

As I mentioned in my first post, one of my biggest hobbys, if not THE biggest hobby of mine is playing videogames on PC. Sometimes I really think that Im spending a little to much time for that but I am having fun, so its ok.
When I was younger I didnt have a own PC for a long time, so I only got in contact with videogames when I visited friends. I didnt really feel attracted by this in the beginning, but someday my friend got a game called "Midtown Madness", a racing game located in the city of chicago. We spent hours just driving around and crashing other cars. It was fun back in that time, though I have to say that I got my hands on that game about a year ago and it was way better in my memory. Anyway, because of this game I started to get into playing videogames and especially racing games. Then in 2003 when I was 11, I finally bought my first own insanely fast(AMD Athlon with a 1,8GHz CPU iirc) computer. At first I mainly played racing games like the first Need for Speed Underground(Unfortunately Midtown madness didnt run on that PC). Then for Christmas I got GTA Vice City and I fell in love with it. Imho its still one of the best videogames EVER created. From that time on I started to play action titles too. Today I pretty much play FPS- games exclusively, exept for a few exceptions.


So that was my rough gaming history, I hope you enjoyed it and perhaps start following me^^.
