[[ The 16-bit Years (1987-1993) ]]
   Classic DOS and 16-bit excitement! For the first time,
   video-games start to achieve their potential; more than
   beeps and bloops, they are story-tellers and world-
   builders. The Video gaming world develops its own
   culture too.

 I thought about it more and I am more convinced that this period is
when I enjoyed video games the most. I was playing a lot of Sierra
games at the time which I enjoyed a lot but I also discovered my love
for RPGs in this time frame with the Pool of Radiance gold box game.

That era would get a better mark from me if it wasn't for the fact that it was period in my life when I transitioning to my 'hobbies' became centred around going out and generally drinking. It's rather hard to get enthusiastic about playing games when your weekends consist of getting up in the afternoon with a head that feels like it's been used as football!
