I''d have to say The Legend Of Zelda. I loved that game. um Tiso, you refered to yourself as a game developer, do you have any actaul games? all I saw on your site was a pre-alg program. sorry, but I''m all over the technicalities.

Would you like to play a game...?

That and my c128 got me started thinking back there was a book that came with it thought you had to make sounds and colors I guess that''s what did iot for me.

To think that now I''m an application developer for an accounting system. I want to program games.....

Auto Destruct in 5....4....3....2....1....

Well Now,

With all these cool games being released around me they became a part of my life. And then I thought to myself I want to make games like these. Remember Battle Chesss for the Amiga.

On my first high-school year (1993, I think), I took a complementary computer class where we worked on LogoWriter on 286s (yuck!). It inspired me to take summer class of computer programming where we worked on "object oriented programming" (sort of) with IBM''s Linkway Live. I won the first prize for my excellent and vast code with a project about the brain.

I have been lent an old 386 orange-screened Toshiba portable computer, where I learnt BASIC. I did my first "large" game (an RPG) for a religion class, and I still think it is great today (76kB of crappy code, the first time I had to use subs because of a lack of memory).

I had my first (and only so far) computer in 1995, a P75 that I updraded to 133 last April, and I received Visual Basic 4 as a present this same year, I think. I took another summer course in programming in 1997 (this time called "Computers'' ressources" which pretty much ended up with working on HyperCard) where I ported an old DOS programming language, used to learn how to program, to the MacOS.

I started up learning C++ this same year, I think, due to the lack of performance of VB with game programming (the same game I am still working on today. I want it to be a masterpiece), and learnt OpenGL in the beginning of this year. And 3D still is slow on my 5y-old computer, in the time where 3D accelerators were still an exclusivity of SGI workstations.

I learnt about half a dozen other programming languages through these times, but nothing really important. I have now finished my high-school, my college and I''m heading towards university in CS.

I will have another computer soon

Well, I like the idea of controlling the computer. When I was about 3 years old, the only use I saw for a computer was a coin-holder. Yes, a coin-holder. I''d climb up onto my mother''s desk, and stick some coins in the A drive. I will admit that that wasn''t too smart, but hey, I was 3!

Once I saw the true power of a computer, I really wanted to see how it worked (not hardware-wise). Once I found out, I simply started to tinker with QBASIC. I got a few books and voila! Instant programmer!(not a good programmer, but one none the less) Eventually, I got tired of QBASIC, so I tried out VB. The simplicity of VB drove me crazy and I couldn''t stand it. So I went on to C++. Once there- ok, I''m going to stop here. I think I''ve answered the question....
