My first game I remember playing was digger on atari! and then it was space invaders, followed by super mario bros. After Nintendo, I played civilization and I was pretty crazy about turn-based strategy. Played a bit of D&D, then Warcraft: Orcs vs. Humans came out. Followed almost all Blizzard games from then on. Played WC2, Diablo, SC, Diablo 2, WC3, WoW and now SC2. Casually, of course. I didn't even know that pro-gaming existed until this year! That's kinda sad. Always been too afraid to enter tournaments, and now I don't even have time to practice. Will try help out with the publicity of SEA e-games too. I'm really interested in that.
I started off with Simcity 2000 in primary school (it was on every school computer. Played a few other Sim- games, up to the Sims 2.
Played AoE - only played multiplayer a couple of times against friends, same with Age of Mythology. Got the expansion, The Titans, which I played for I dunno, 6 years? I made it into the top 25 at one stage when I was a fairly solid 1800, but mostly played around the 1750 mark. I didn't buy AoE3 because I didn't like the demo at all. It's such a change from a game that hasn't had a patch for 4 years or cheat bannings for 3.
I played Borderlands for a bit when TT got old, which was fun. I also like the Halo series, but don't own a 360, but I get my fix at mates' places.
I have played a LOT of games in my time and all blizzard games at least a decent period of time. I played a lot of warcraft 3 when I was about 14-15 I believe and attended some tournaments in the city at that time. At my peak I made it into the quarter finals of some big tournament and then lost to the guy who would end up winning it, remember.west. All blizzard games have been amazing and i've been addicted at some stage to them all.
The best game I ever played though and the one I spent most time playing was by far Quake 2. More specifically the mods Action Quake and Jump. No games will EVER compare.
I used to play WoW a lot 2-3 years ago and playing it for about 2 years, raiding everynight in a very good raiding guild. I then switched to console (Xbox) playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 competitively, ranked top 15 in Australia on the most active and most played competitive gaming website in Australia (www.cybergamer.com.au) I then moved to Call of Duty: Black Ops also on Xbox and getting into a very good team when I was on holidays practising up to 15 hours a day and ranking quite high in the cybergamer ladder beating many top teams. I picked up Starcraft 2 to play extremely casually with a friend back in about November and loving it so much I quit competitive Xbox to play SC2. I started taking SC2 seriously wanting to get better and better at it at the end of Janurary playing about 900 games from then to now.

Play Brood War as a kid, but only the campaign. Played a few RTS's over the years, but SC2 was the first I went online with.
Was mainly a console gamer as a kid and teenager. Still basically am, except I only play SC2 these days. Might change when all the bland stops coming out on consoles. But then Porotal 2 is soon, so that probably won't change.

Played my first game 2 RTS, red alert and wc1 when i was primary 3. started playing sc1 when i was primary 5 but back then, I only have 56k so i don't play bnet often. Sec 1 started playing diablo 2 at a insane rate for 5 years ( started wc3 when i was sec 4). Diablo 2 is the game I put played the most hardcore and was earning big bucks from selling high runes and build the prolly most geared barb and sorc in singapore at that time.
I played wc3 frm sec 4 until my ITE days ( and lots of dota ). Wc3 gave me the most memories. I still rmb meeting iceiceice at compass point and i was like WTF tis guy is so tall. Still rmb meeting ppl like mi2-ownu etc. The days when everyone will hang out at clan chns like DsD,mVp etc to look for friend 1v1 match, observers. Also rmb IRC when everyone spam IP and playing ladder match wid ppl like sagara and a human player whom i rmb was 1 of the best non-bnet player i ever since but cant rmb the name. Started with Z something...always use pink
During my dota days, I rmb hanging out at those irc channels looking for clan wars and getting a group of randoms kicking noobs ass everywhere ( unless we suay kana zenith den we tio trash ). Rmb winning clans like DN* and they went raging at us lol
After all tis, I played maple in between, again selling mesos earning money and that is the reason why I don't work part time last time. During my NS days in army I played WoW. When I ORD, I signed on and met friends who played SC2 and WoW. Recently I quit WoW and will focus on SC2 once again hoping to find the long loss community of wc3
I used to play Quake 1 competitively for a while and have really enjoyed way too many games in my time to remember. What I DO remember though is that all those games are basically "filler" in between Blizzard titles :P
SC:BW, SC2, War3 even WoW etc are all games that I enjoy more than any other. Quit WoW shortly after Cataclysm though. I really enjoyed playing SC:BW and War3 online, but have really got into SC2 as my first serious competitive RTS (as in I play it every day and attend tournaments).
I'm in that category of "**** I'm old", my first Blizzard game was Lost Vikings :P Have played and loved every single one since. Oh, also XCOM was for sale as a package on Steam so playing that a bit in between SC2 laddering
Hmmm If i were to name all the games in my cupboard, my hand would hurt.. But i think from a really young age i started to play Racing games etc.. (who doesnt love cars when they are a young boy!)
transitioning into rts started with the first command and conquer, to red alert, to starcraft and warcraft.. i remember very little as all these games where just for a bit of fun once and a while as kid.
I really got hooked on gaming when war3 and aoe3 came out..
Was ranked top 1st-10th for the last few years on aoe3 untill/as it died.. (think im still ranked around 20th rofl).
But yeh other than the odd fps (bf2, bfbc2, cod, CSS, etc.)
I really loved my RTS which consisted of:
(in the last few years)
C&C Generals ZH
Age of Empires 3
Dawn of War 1 & 2
Company of Heroes: O.F
Total Wars: Rome, Medieval 2, Empire
Starcraft 2!
But since aoe3 Died and i started to watch the GSL , i have been really hooked on sc2 wooT! ahha
OH and still play League of Legends for a break from sc2 when im having a bad time laddering XD
- Doom
- Raptor
- Wacky Wheels
- Duke Nukem 2/3D
- Command And Conquer (Red Alert 1,2,3, Tiberian Dawn/Sun/Renegade/Wars)
- StarCraft 1, Retribution, Brood War, but I was too young and I have absolutely no idea what was multiplayer.
- Final Fantasy 1,2,3,4,5,6,X
- COD 3, 4 (MW1), 5 (World at War), MW2, Black Ops - MW2 was the only FPS game I got into Multiplaying
- WarCraft 2 and 3 (Still play that regularly)
- Halo 1 and 2, don't have 3 because of no 360.

I'm a hardcore FPS competitive gamer.
I started playing competitively when I was 12, with games such as DooM 2 (only FPS I could play competitively at 300+ ping :P), Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, QuakeWorld and Counter-Strike: Source. I've also played competitively in Quake Live until recently.
Aside from that, other games I've played competitively are Pokemon (what of it) and Tekken 4/5. I lost interest around the age of 10 in games that didn't provide me with the ability to defeat someone or a high score ^_^

Started out on a Commodore 64 with games like Stunt Car Racer & Speedball 2.
Had a period without much gaming till we got a PSX. Played it to death before graduating to an Xbox then a 360. Played all sorts of game, though none competitively.
Played and enjoyed all sorts of games from every genre.
Finally bought my own computer, since Dad wouldn't let us have games on his. :/
Got into AoE 2 & Starcraft: BW. I've always enjoyed RTS games, but have also been terrible at all of them until I started with SC2. Loving SC2 and playing it when I can. Trying to enter a few tourney's here and might even find some local ones to enter at some point.
Started with an amstrad cpc6128 tape drive where you had to write your own games and save them one screen at a time or it was lost. played rambo on that alot then inherited a disk version of the same machine, various other things like tandy, c64, amiga 500, sega, then a 486dx 33 that was state of the art, played robocop and a game called epic on that. Saved some lunch money and purchased c&c and wc2 which i played over a modem with a friend of mine when we were in high school, upgraded the pc with a bnc network card and lugged that thing all over the country "mummy im going to my mates place, you are taking me and im taking the computer" played way to much quake "used to dream about it" and then got into ultima online which lasted me a couple of years. then psx ps2 and ps3 fps and now back too pc and sc2, doing a job i like and playing as much Sc2 as i can till the missus gets annoyed and tells me to go to bed.
this is almost always when in the middle of something crucial.
My history of gaming started when I was at the age of ten. A family friend who at that time was a somewhat computer technichan arranged my own personal computer. That pc was fast at that time and it was a 386 and during that time I first learned the game of Warcraft Orcs and Humans. As I was playing the game I first noticed that multiplayer can be played with a modem and through dialing with another person's computer, but then I was too young to understand that concept of multiplayer.
I also bought my first SNES, but I played almost all family computer games back then. Warcraft was the first game that I ever tried to play with a serious intent. I would repeat missions over and over. I still remember there were icons of conjurer and cleric, and that the fog of war was silly.
After some time I got used to warcraft and command and conquer: Red Alert was in hail. I played that game through my middle school (Grade 7 to first year high school). At that time I already had a 486 and the computer was powerful enough to run good games. I also played some Doom and Heretic too. But I was really fond of strategic games. I would skip club activities and then would go to the internet cafe by learning to take jeepney or a bus on my own (which my parents didn't allow).
During my second year of high school, Counterstrike and Starcraft was first introduced. I still remember the countless times I had to really skip my clubs / class to save seats in the internet cafe for usually eight to ten people. We would then play counterstrike and starcraft. I was zerg that time and I thought building a mighty all hydralisk force was already godlike. But it was eaten by one group of battlecruisers that time. We were still quite kids and didn't know more about strategies.
I skipped warcraft 2 and then during my fourth year in high school through maybe second year in college I played a lot of warcraft 3. I played with some good players from the Philippines ex: Jaczie and the like. I entered into small time tournaments in cafes as well and made a good tower rushing strategy. Well Tower rush was famous during that time. It was good to last , then when reality hit me when I was in third year of college, I was forced to resign in gaming for a good number of years.
Now I am already 28, I would like to make a comeback by playing some starcraft 2. I am still noobish at this game with only a platinum league rank. I still consider myself a bit noob because I always feel I get supply blocked a lot.
I also am playing Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion and would be playing Tekken Tag 2 when it comes out.
My favorite players of all time would still be SlayerS BoxeR for his endurance and resiliency and perseverance in starcraft as well as gaming world.
I play most of blizzard games just for fun. The most relax and fun I have is World of Warcraft and for me star craft is like a quick and intelligence type with quick response.
