The very first strategy game I ever played was Genghis Khan by Koei for the early Nintendo system. I was hooked like an addict on drugs playing 12 hours a day and barely sleeping. I just could not get enough! By today's standards it would be like playing that game where you knock the dot back and forth Atari game I believe. Koei came out with several other titles for Nintendo and I played them all like Bandit Kings and Le Emperor and loved every minute of it! Koei had another title about the conquest of Japan but the title escapes me. Thanks to Koei I was forever hooked on strategy games. I tried them all from Civil War games to Medieval and even some modern and futuristic games. I was never really satisfied until I found Civilization. Wow just like Genghis Khan I could not stop playing putting very long hours at a stretch. And yes in case you are wondering I did not date much.:) I just did not care about anything else than my next conquest or next victory. Sid Meir came out with many newer versions and I played them all believe me. So now you know how I got hooked and in later posts I will discuss my current passions.
