The Origins Story

Amiga 500

Hi my name is Grant this is my first blog it’s all about gaming and computer related things. I would class myself as a casual gamer, I’ve been gaming for a while now. My first games devise was an Amiga 500 it was the size of a 24 inch LCD TV. The only game I can remember playing on it was Dune 2, which was kind of like Command and Conquer. My friend and I used to play this game all the time, we would go round each other’s houses and play all day. It’s funny that computers and monitors back then would take up the entire desk.

NES

Then we come to the Nintendo Generation I had the NES, SNES and the N64 with loads of games too many to mention. You could say I’m Nintendo fan boy, but it’s the console all my friends had and we used to swap cartridges. I do remember Golden Eye on the N64, a few friends stayed over one night and played multiplayer all night. It was my first taste of competitive multiplayer FPS action, this was before I had the internet.

PC

Now we come to my first of many PC it was Packard Bell 120 MHz, 8 MB ram, and 1.2 GB HD which come with the usual 1 GB worth of pre installed crap. Being the complete noob at the time, after 50 windows reinstalls I found out DO NOT delete anything with .Windows or .System in the name. So I went round my mate’s house and he fixed it yay, I had about a gigs worth of space time for some quake/C@C. They both run well for what I can remember I also bought a 32 MB ram stick and some voodoo fx video. I remember playing quake online with my 28.8k modern and what seemed to be a million Fps pwning noobs left right and centre, or maybe I was getting pwned it’s a bit fuzzy.


I hope you enjoyed a bit of my past gaming history this is my first blog post EVER I don’t have a face book or even twitter account. I will be writing about some games I’ve been playing later in the week cyas all.
