In addition to being the WORLD'S strongest computer aided chess player (having written the chess program myself), I may be one of only a handful of people in the WORLD who can say the following: I was there (6 years old) playing PONG in 1972 when it first came out. My friend owned the Commodore PET and VIC-20 in the mid to late 70's and we wrote simple pong-like games on them. I was there when they unveiled SPACE INVADERS in 1978 with a pocket full of quarters. My friends owned the Atari 2600 and the 5200 and when I wasn't playing PITFALL or MISSLE COMMAND, I was at the arcade. I owned a Commodore 64 and 128. Can anyone say ZORK? I spent a MAJORITY of my youth (and my parent's money) in the arcades of the 1980's. Pac-man, asteroids, defender, etc. I regret to say that I actually spent a lot of time playing the Intellivision. When the arcades began to wane and I actually got a job and buy things, I purchased the following consoles over the years: Nintendo NES, SEGA GENESIS, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Game boy, PS1, PS2, XBOX, XBOX 360, all the while having the LATEST computer gaming system. (I'm not solely a console player or solely a PC player, I LOVE them both). Oh, I have played other systems that aren't really worth mentioning, so I won't mention them. I figure I have spent EASILY over $25,000 on computers/games in my time. Bottom line is this: I know I haven't played the most games of anyone here, or spent the most time infront of a TV or Monitor, or be the best at Unreal Tournament, but I may have the MOST overall BROAD experience with video games of anyone on the face of the EARTH. Please RESPECT my opinion when I begin posting on my blog. I KNOW what I'm talking about. Thank you.
