I wonder how and when people start gaming and what follows that make them love games or even become addicted

Video games were still in their infancy when I got addicted at age 11, to a Sinclair ZX81 first, and then to a commodore 64 - the ones where games loaded in from a cassette tape and took maybe 7 or 8 minutes! I loved adventure games from the word go... when I started work I found a text-based MUD which I was really addicted to, and I travelled from New Zealand (where I lived) to America and met about 12 people in California, Boston, Rhode Island, Vegas... it was a fantastic trip. Now I play Everquest (yup I pay to feed my addiction!) and still meet people from the game from time to time.

The first game that I got addicted was Diablo 2, which was really addicting. Next were Ultima Online (on Philippine shards/servers) GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, Need For Speed Underground 2, & Need For Speed Most Wanted.
What really makes me addicted to games is the flow of the storyline of the games. Sometimes, it's in the thrill of the action games or the fun in playing MMORPG's or multiplayer games.

Had the original NES but I didn't really get into gaming until college. We would stay up for HOURS playing X-Men: Mutant Academy and drinking. It was so much fun. I still love playing games best with other people. Now I'm fascinated by video game philosophy and theory

i first got started in gaming in the middle of 85 around when the old nes came out. i was hooked on the original mario and zelda. eventuallyy as games and systems progressed with better graphics and game play i got more and more hooked. now gaming is my BIGGEST hobby, and most expensive one next to my anime.
