My Gaming Story 4 - From Console To PC

My first ever computer came when I was around Primary 6. It was like Mac 3.1 or some shit thing I don't even know about. During that time I was doing with stupid games like Disney Hercules and that sort of stuffs.

I got my first "true' Computer (Secondary 2), the one with Internet. ^_^

During that time, I spent a lot of money on PC games, particularly Chinese ones. Hundreds of dollars, mostly on those Chinese Martial Arts games, which were my favourites...



In Order: 绝代双骄, 武林群侠传, 三国群侠传,三国志 (ROTK)

And basically lots of those "Wuxia" style RPGs. My craze for them ended around Poly period. (which is actually due to their own demise. The developers began churning out extremely crappy ones)

And I started playing those Tycoon Games, or the "Simulation" genre games. It was, and still is one of my favourite genres today. I just enjoyed building something from scratch and seeing it grows into an empire. Theme Hospital, Theme Park, Hotel Giant, Restaurant Empire, Casino Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, Sim Cities... etc...

I've played practically every major Tycoon games out there. And I've been the CEO of restaurants, parks, malls, casinos, whatever you can think of.



The last 2 are the groundbreaking "The Movies" and "The Sims 2".

RTS/TBS is another one of my favourite genre...



1. Stronghold - The first Stronghold was one of the best RTS at that time. It reminds you of LOTR.

2. Warcraft III - If I were to name a game that have taken up the most of my time, it would be this. After FIVE years, I am still playing this game. From the days of climbing the ladder in clan "xxt" to simply playing dota in clan "oya", I've come a long way~



3. Heroes III - Addictive + Addictive = Obsession. I can play Hotseat with my cousin in this game for 10 hours straight. ^_^ And it still is the best in the Heroes Series.

4. Civilization 4 - The greatest turn based strategy game of all time. Enough said...
