Like Golfer, I logged in to Air Warrior 20 years ago. It was also about 24 hours after I got my first computer. It would have been sooner but it took 16 hours to download AW through a modem. I left it downloading when I went to bed the night before and woke up to the "Download Conplete" message. I do not specifically remember my first mission but I do remember the excitement I felt when the game opened and I discovered a whole new world. There was a place I could go, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and make friends that were interested in playing the same kind of games I like to play. I probably played 30 plus hours the first 2 days I had it.
Nothing has changed. I feel really excited to log in, each and every time. I still find lots of friends that like playing the same games I do. "Games" is correct, there are many games to be played here in our micro, pixelated, universe. Play your game, I'll play mine, and ours will always overlap even if it is not exactly the same.
That my friends is the beauty of the thing.
It's another day in paradise my friends, let's go play.
