  1. Mid-1970s - Saw an Odyssey 2 and an Atari 2600.

     

    1979 - First arcade experience (Tail Gunner). Brain fried and re-wired for VIDEO GAME ACTION!

     

    1980 - Arcade madness.

     

    1981 - Arcades on steroids. Saw an Atari 8-bit computer running Pac-Man. Blown away by it, yet couldn't afford one.

     

    1982 - Arcades go into super-hyperdrive. Got a ColecoVision as a gift from Dad.

     

    1983 - Even more arcade awesomeness. At the height of searching out any and all coin-ops in a 300-mile radius.

     

    1984 - Saw Marble Madness and was duly impressed. However, I started to notice the decline in arcades at the end of this year. Gradually becoming more interested in home computers. Gaming mainly on Apple II, TRS-80 Color Computer, and PC.

     

    1985 - Arcades started to disappear. :(

     

    The rest of the 80s - shifted from arcades and consoles to home computer gaming. Impressed by R-Type and Space Harrier.

     

    1988 - Purchased an Amiga 500 and popped in the game Blood Money.

     

    1990s - Kept a close eye on the polygon gaming evolution. Purchased a TRON upright coin-op. Played the prototype of Virtua Fighter in Las Vegas.

     

    1995/6 - Did game development on the Ultra 64 (N64 pre-release work-name). Discovered the limits of 1990s polygon-pushing capabilities.

     

    2000s - Got back into console gaming with the original XBOX and the GBA.

     

    Today - Total retro freak. FREEEEEEAK!!!!!!!!!!! No known cure. Looks like I'm stuck this way.

    Well, a long and clear history. lol
