39 yrs here. Started with Squad Leader tabletop game and with C-64 comp games. I think first C-64 games were Knights of the Desert and a Normandy invasion game of same genre.

I remember getting those Microp(r)ose games for C64, wasn't "Red Storm Rising" one of them?

Definitely...had that one too. Wasn't that an excellent sub simulation, tho (for it's time) ?

Yes it was, expecially that snake torpedo thing the Russians had.

I still have this game on my PC and play it sometimes its kind of easy but gives a lot of fun... the only bad thing about it is that i do not know how to relad ordnance during the fight... or is it impossible[:D]

[BigJ62]

No idea been years ago since I played it.

Turned the big 5-0 a few weeks ago - and for all you younger guys out there: "Life is still GOOD....oh yah", you are as old as you let yourself become...makes me about 24 [:D]

I cut my gaming teeth on Milton Bradley's American Heritage series games like 'Hit The Beach' and 'Dogfight!' back in the mid 1960s. Then by 1968 I discovered the wonderful world of Avalon Hill - with Jutland and Battle of the Bulge....the beginning of a life long addiction. [;)]

44 here. I got started on&nbsp;Axis & Allies&nbsp;in a garage in Marquette, Michigan.&nbsp;Moved on to Red Storm Rising, then War in Russia. I live for the day where we get a World War 2 game covering the entire conflict, with WITP detail. </drool>

Oh wow! I forgot all about Dogfight! Man, that was fun.

[rtrapasso]

OK - pop quiz time for you Dogfight fans: who was piloting the Allied airplane on the cover of Dogfight (and no fair using search engines!) [:-] [:D]

Well, it looks like a Nieuport 17, in RFC markings....Hmmm Billy Bishop?


EDIT:
I'm leaning toward what 06 Maestro pointed out below...I rather think it's Albert Ball too.

Albert Ball, of course-eh, maybe.

[bradfordkay]

Gawd, I had Dogfight, too. I'd forgotten it as I really can't consider any Milton Bradley product a real wargame! I recall nothing about the gameplay...

40 here. Ooops, its after midnight. 41 now.
Had a date with a 21 year old last night, though. Man it was great! Shortly after we moved on to the fruit spreads, I woke up.

My dachsund sure gave me a weird look this morning....

[Redd]

I'll be 42 in january. My first game was Avalon Hill's France 1940. I never could find anyone to play it with, but I still bought many other games. Thank God for computers or I probobly never would have gotten back into gaming.

Happy birthday, AU Tiger!&nbsp;[:)]
