hmmm....... why am i a gamer...
because i've always been... which is a lame answer but i remember playing games (or at least being on the computer) since at least preschool, probably before then; if i stopped now it would just feel weird to not play games, so even if i don't have any new games i just go back and play old ones.
maybe it's because my dad worked with computers and stuff like that, so i remember stuff from when i was probably three or four when i was playing around with dos. i played a lot of games back then: commander keen, old duke nukum, a game called "scorched earth" where you played against someone else and both of you were tanks--you couldn't even move around, just alternated taking shots at each other and then bought weapons and shields and stuff.... and then alternated taking more shots... heh, fun times.
i even remember those "adventure" games where there weren't any pictures or anything, you just type in a command for your character and then you get a written description of the room and stuff, hehehe.... i remember testing out how advanced the game's vocabulary was--see what words it would recognize. i also remember those educational games that we got to play in elementary school--math games, and then oregon trail, and dr. quandary's island.
and then there was wolfenstein 3d, and doom/doomII, and quake, and heretic and hexen, probably started playing those when my dad got 'em--i played all of those a lot but i don't remember finishing any of them except heretic, and i might've finished the first doom.... probably because i played for awhile and then when i came back to it i couldn't remember what i was doing so i just started the whole thing over again..... but anyways that's how i got into the fps genre.
then there were the strategy games--i started playing warcraft/warcraftII and then my cousin showed me age of empires so i played that, and AoE2 along with expansion packs. also played a little bit of civilization. so i ended up just playing a lot of strategy games.
and then there was half-life--my cousin showed me that game too. so i got back into fps.
