Well you guys, I was told I was the oldest around but you both beat me at that. Have to stick around for some time to regain my title, he? Well, I was planning so anyway.

Yo - I'm 20, MIS major at UT Austin (go horns!). Does anyone else play Strategy games like CTP...AND...3D shooters like Counterstrike? I fear I am a rarity this way.

p.s. If, by chance, you DO play Counterstrike...come to "El Nino - 24/7 Militia" (209.163.147.37:27022) and [TNG]Picard-GalacticPimp (thats me ) will smoke you!

Rare indeed! I'm an MIS major in Chino,CA. I play CTP2, Red Alert 2, & Counter-strike. HEHE And I've played at El Nino too! Perhaps I'll smoke you back!

Also I play at EvilDead 206.55.129.67:27017

Wow Joseph you sound alot like me. I remember getting my hands on every one of Sid's games as soon as they came out. Back then it was on 5.25" floppies and 4 colors for me! I remember thinking what a great thing it was to have 16 colors.

I too played the XCom series, RRT, Colonization, etc. Had a friend give me his copy of Civ (he hated it) and have been hooked since then. Didn't buy CTP 1 as I had heard some bad things about it. Saw CTP 2 today at Media Play and had a gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket - the rest is as they say is history.

BTW, my age is 41.
