Brief gaming history (or how I got hooked on games): Pong in the 70s. After a long hiatus, I got a Famicom in 1985 in Japan (fond memories of blister on thumb). A Sega Master System followed that. The first computer game I played was the original Japanese version of Ys in 1987 on my NEC PC-8801FH-30. Many games followed, resulting in the massive game addiction I suffer from today.
