Ok, seeing how everyone has done a bit of their game history as well, I'll add mine (although it's nowhere near as impressive as some of you guys!).

I was going to do a full list, but spent half an hour typing and didn't even get to the year 2000, so I'll do a short little list in chronological order!

Secret of Monkey Island > Wolfenstien 3d > Doom 2 > Duke Nukem > Sam & Max Hit the Road/Full Throttle > FFVII/FFVIII/GoldenEye/general console crap > Half Life (my first video game love!) > JK:JO > Diablo 2 > Resi 4, FFX, FFXII, Soul Calibur, Timesplitters (1, 2 and FP) Pro Evo (4-2008) (another console phase) > bought new "gaming" laptop > Doom 3, JK:JO2, Beyond Good and Evil, HL2, Ep1, Ep2, Portal, Peggle "Oh well, nothing left to play from the Orange Box, oh wait, whats Team Fortress?"

Theres some big holes and some of it isn't in order, but hey, looks about right!

edit - 7 replies since I started typing  Shocked

My Amiga 1200 was awsome Cheesy
It had a printer, hard drive and a cool GUI OS Cheesy
I also had over 300 Floppy discs with games and apps

The printer was louder than a machine gun and it only printed on a cirtain type of paper but it was totally worth it

Started out with Pyro for the most part - then did an awful lot of spy-ing then an awful lot of demoman'ing with a few bits and pieces here and there.

Then once 'Meet the Sniper' came out I thought "Hay one day I will be as cool as him :V" and then played Sniper a lot, which is probably my main class at the moment.

In terms of other games, not many. First FPS was Duke Nukem, then mostly Half Life & CS, and a lot of IRC. Discovered Planetside at a LAN party which was my main game for about 3 years, and another 2 on and off. Now its TF2 and L4D Smiley

Not quite as illustrious as others! Tongue

When I preordered it back in sept. 07, I started playing pyro on 2fort. OMG it was the first time I started this game, and I guess I played it from 19:00 till 05:00 in the morning, only on 2fort as a pyro.... That was hilarious Cheesy

A year ago, I decided to do some competitive gaming in TF2, because before the orange box I played CS:S and often did some pcw's with my buddies. I realized, pyro istn really a standart class in 6on6play so I decided to start with my 2nd most played and loved class, the medic Smiley Now my mainclass is medic and Im still enjoying it to heal all the scrubnoobs out there Grin
