Title: Just how adicted were you on first recorded tour.
Post by: Flayed1 on October 31, 2006, 09:00:51 AM
Just thought it might be interesting to see how much time we all have on our first tours....   The earliest tour  I can find for myself is tour 42 and I spent this long     131:40:01    in there......     189 kills total  :lol     I was so uber back then :D   Course only 383 this tour in 93:20. Guess I have today to improve that. :)

  I have always used the same name so that makes it a bit easier to figure. I know this might be hard to find for some of you with different names... Can you remember your first ever handle? :)

My first 'handle' was Deader.

DOS Air Warrior, 1990.
Amiga 500, 13" monitor, planes were 'T's on the screen if they were over a few hundred yards out.. hits were 'X's drawn over the primitive box shapes, were no texture maps in the game. If a plane was smoking it had a grey triangle behind it, regardless if it was parked or flying. No ground shadows. Arena cap was 30 players, max. It was rarely full :)

It took me awhile to get my first kill.

Air Warrior:

Didn't matter what I flew it all looked like a P-51 cockpit and I promptly went PNG after doing my duty and destroying two deadly yet friendly aircraft on takeoff.

I was most addicted on tour 23 when I was ranked 1 in both fighter / attack. On my first recorded tour I flew 2 hours (was on trial and my joystick broke).

The addiction grew up to the point where my wife declared it's either her or AH. Unfortunately I chose her. :rolleyes: :D

First handle was Rust.

Kinda surprised me to see it goes back to tour 12.

Not a ton of flying, but there.

42 kills, 21 deaths in 16 hours 9 minutes that tour.

CorkyJr shows up on tour 61

Most time I've ever flown in a month was 44 hours.  Looks like I average anywhere from 25-40 hours.

I don't remember what my first tour was but I played lots.  I was recuperating from an accident that left me missing 1/2 of a thumb and with a skull full of blood.  my son in law gave me my first puter already preloaded with AH.  I think eskimo gave me the pasty award and some basswhole BK said I sucked on the BBS.  the basswhole was right though.

I started during beta3, can't access those score pages for some reason.

In tours 11,12,13   I spent an average of 52 hours, now I do 25 tops. I've learned to control my addiction somewhat.

Tour 50 was my first...thanks to my AcesCrack pusher, and my little brother, Hack9.

Played 67 hours that tour, and 97 hours the next -- in addition to a more than full tmie job and family.

The only thing greater than my persistant (and now controlled) addiction has been my general lack of skill. Took me 8 tours to get over 1 KPD and 3 KPH.

It was probably around tour 30 or 40, I think my first 2 kills were in an M16.  That was on the name Panzer84 2 week trial.  Made my day when I landed those first 2.:aok   Those were probably my only 2 in ~100 hours of my 2 week trial.

Heh!

My first experience was Air Warrior in 1987, when I was a graduate student.  I was so amazed by it and captivated by it that I knew I would be instantly addicted, which I could not afford in money or time then.  So, I played for about an hour, quit, and didn't touch it or look at it again for a couple of years -- then I started playing a lot.
