A Bit of History<\/h2>\n

My love for gaming has a long history. I was lucky because my parents could buy a computer when I was very young. It was an IBM 486 ? and it belonged to my brother.<\/p>\n

My First Games<\/h2>\n

The first games I remember playing were Wolf and Doom. Wolf is a first-person shooter action game that still sticks in my memory.<\/p>\n
