As a kid, I never got into video games. I had an Atari and played a little pac man and ET. Then came the Nintendo. My lil cousin had one of the mario bros games, and I couldn't get off the first level. I just left them alone. Then Christmas of 2005 came, and I got my husband a GC for Christmas. Well one day I was alone, bored, and decided to try the Dino-Thunder I had been watching the kids play. Well that is all she wrote, because after that, I was hooked. I played that game several times over, till I could play the game, start to finish in a few hours. Then came my first Sims. I became a GC junkie. Now I have a new computer (much bigger too) and I am starting on the Sims PC games...
