The old TSR/Goldbox stuff was classic. NWN on AOL was my first MMO (I think it is considered the first graphical MMO since it came out in the early 90s and could support up to 500 players in the gameworld at one time towards the end of its run), but it was back when they charged by the hour to use the service so...yea.

A lot of the people I knew from NWN ended up playing on my EQ1 server

This one was also pretty amazing for the time, practically 3D!

Origin will always be my favorite company. I grew up playing Ultima from the C64 to PC. Here is some of my Origin Systems collection.

I had the Atari 2600 console as a kid and wore out countless controllers. For Arcade games, the Atari Assault was my first love. I lived in the country and didn't really get to play many arcade games until I was on a FBLA trip/competition and found this game in the reccenter. A couple of years later in 1989 and I found it again in the college reccenter. Fast forward 12 years and I snagged one on Ebay for like $300!!! It's in my basement now!

Ultima 5 was like 8 floppy Disks for C64!

Ultima was a great series as was Wizardry, but my favorite RPG series was probably The Bard's Tale, with 2 being my favorite of the bunch.

Holy crap! I haven't thought about this game in 30 years! I wore the keys out on my TRS-80 playing this by hitting the keys too hard. The Wizard was impossible to destroy.View attachment 401827

My first "computer".

Hell yeah! My first home computer as well. I actually honed my early life soldering skills putting together a bubble memory pack for it (which fit in the cartridge slot) My main timesink game on it was....

Which is a name I still use for my hunter in WoW, and introduced me to my lifelong favorite author.

This was my second too. Still have it and the original box. First one controller broke, then the second one and stuck it in a closet. Don't know why I never threw it out - been in one closet or another ever since.

My parents taught me a lesson about NWN on AOL and hourly phone charges......it wasn't nice. Then I did it again with either the NES or Sierra tips hotline, that was charged by the minute I believe...again lesson NOT learned.
