I am 39 years old. Very soon 40. I qualified from forty, certainly passionate, perhaps even in love with the game. Almost fell in as little as a buddy of mine in the cauldron of magic potion in his village. I am a teacher and I live in central Paris. My love for computers this day of 80's, my father did not understand my attraction to what would be the heart of our lives few Years later, and certainly too close to her as well-I am offering my first Commodore 64 computer. Thank you again MY Belgian friend who I will always be very expensive, although today disappeared. It is on this machine that I took my first steps in programming. I still think that this is the practice of digital logic that decided my personal journey. And my way of thinking. I remember very well that while only the programming itself interested me. I considered also as a heresy, even what to think about using a computer to play. Ie to do something else span widen my brain! That way since ... This fundamentalism lasted some time. Until one day, I remember like it was yesterday, I passed the window of a shop on Avenue of the Republic (Paris area known players). I then fell to a demo of destitution Falcon (fighter plane simulator) running in a loop on the Atari ST. My passion for computer simulation, somewhat diluted today anyway, do I ever left. I am back at home with the above-said Atari and what I consider to be my first game: Falcon's first name (Actually, I had dabbled a bit a version of Flight Simulator on my Commodore 64, but go ...). The virus was introduced and I think it does leave me to my last day. The years passed quietly playing in games always better (the series of LucasArts, Half Life, Ultima Martian Dream, the most excellent Gabriel Knight ...) on ever more powerful machines (Amiga and PC). In 92-93, taking advantage of my military service, I tried what was a feat at the time. Entering the already highly professional video games closed. I start by dipping for video game magazines "of the time" (No "Tilt" no longer existed, but it has played just ... I knew Morgan Ferroïd among others). Then, in the context of articles on renderers and other modelers for a magazine specializing in computer graphics (another of my great passions past). By dint of pushing the doors, but especially encouraged by the quality of one of the greatest game in history Stunt Island I end up being hired as a marketing assistant at the then leader of the European game. Unfortunately due to ... well ... wage misunderstanding and perhaps also a difference of design, I only stayed there 15 days (!!!) before returning in "Paris, my good city" To finish my studies. The punters among you will admit that the future me because somehow ... That was already over the pan of professional video game in my life. I did not won anything equipment, especially as one of the magazines I never paid my pins! By cons, this time at home reinforced this irrational love for our common passion. It consumes me still today, almost 15 years later. Possessor of almost all current gaming platforms, mobile or salon, I think it is time now to structure my "unreasonable" through this blog. I hope to do something that might interest you somewhat ... at least! Below are some pictures "in-game" Stunt Island . The photo is the intro of the jacket at the time of the game I think.
