Hi there, I'm Falski and I game too.
My first gaming machine was the BBC Micro. Dad was an electronics nut and, even though I'm from a working class family, he still saved up the pennies for one and aged 4 I remember playing such games as Strykers Run, Commando, Grannies Garden, Frak!, Elite, Cylon Attack, Citadel, Repton, Daredevil Dennis, Knight Lore, Safari Hunt, The Evil Dead and many many more.
During this time I used to take regular trips to Skeg and indulged in all the classic arcade games. Afterburner, Space Harrier, Paperboy, Gauntlet, I spunked coin after coin of my Nan's well deserved pension on coin-ops. Arcades became not only a place to game, but to also get high on candy floss, and get into fights.
The BBC lasted me some years, but then I got suckered in by the SEGA after seeing this add...........
Boom! I spent all Xmas day playing Ghostbusters on it & driving my parents nuts with that repetitive single soundtrack. Occasionally Hang On & Safari Hunt would get a go, but let's be honest they were both wank. Now hooked by the games & the brand, I indulged in some Master System classics like Wonderboy 3, Double Dragon, California Games, Outrun, etc. And then it happened.......The SEGA Megadrive.
Wow, just fucking wow. The second I booted up Revenge of Shinobi I was blown a-fucking-way. My jaw dropped to the floor as Joe jumped on screen to a thumping rock track as the thunder cracked & flashed in the background. What a system. I mean that whole era was awesome, but to this day I don't think there's a better embodiment of thunky, pick-up & play, in your face, high octane explosive action as you found on the Megadrive. Thunderforce 3, Golden Axe, Speedball 2, Batman, Ghouls & Ghosts etc. suddenly you had an arcade in your bedroom.
So during the whole SEGA era Nintendo was obviously the enemy, and I was well hyped for Sonic to come along and blow Mario away. Well he came along.......and he was wank. What a fucking travesty of a game. Built on speed? the game itself was actually slow as fuck (that water level, FFS), and suddenly the Mean Machines magazine published the release of The Super Famicom. Could I betray my beloved SEGA? Was this system worth all the hype? Of course, the second I saw Final Fight was part of an opening day release I whore my gaming ass out to Nintendo like
Crispy on a promise.
Opening day purchase, £220 with Super Mario World & Final Fight. WHAT. A. MACHINE. And whilst I wowed at Final Fight, I couldn't believe how much Super Mario World sucked me in. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, and for me still remains the best game ever. Layer upon layer of discovery, so so simple to pick up yet so much depth & playability. Quality title after quality title just kept coming, Actraiser, Castlevania 4, Super Ghouls N Ghosts, Street Fighter 2, Super Metriod, Top Racer and then.......
Boom! A double whammy. I borrowed Buck Rogers:Countdown to Doomsday for the Megadrive & bought Zelda: A Link to the Past within the same week. What are these? Games with stats? I remembered roleplaying on the BBC from text based adventures, but these were a superb balance of action, tactics & brainworks. Holy shit, why aren't I playing more of these???? Phantasy Star 3 & 4, Secret of Mana, Landstalker, Chrono Trigger etc. etc. they all followed, but then a mate said
"you know what I love about PC's.....RPGs"
Just as the SNES & MD were starting to burn out my bollocks dropped & ale & fanny became the main focus. Computer games took more of a back seat, but I still played them casually until I fell for an absolutely stunning, leggy blomd with massive tits and big blue eyes called Anna. I remember looking at her thinking "how the fuck does a geek like me pull a primo peice of snatch like that?" She was divine, a summers day you could fuck. And bizarely she fell madly for me. I couldn't believe it, she used to look at me like I was the greatest thing on Earth and do everything for me. Up until then it'd be a slog to get a lass to suck you off or take it up the arse, but not only would she do it she was mad for it. I'd drop her off home and she simply couldn't get out the car without sucking me off one last time, swallowing and the lot. She just had to have my cock in her, any hole any way, no faffing about with foreplay, just get it hard and get it in, up the trumper like she's done porn for 40 years.
So we had a wonderful Summer full or lust & love. Things went like the fairy tales and then.....I was in a relationship. A boring, mundane, one fanny only relationship and I needed to get a job etc. But I remembered those words
"you know what I love about PC's.....RPGs" - maybe if I go on a college course for PCs I can get one cheap? I did and then BOOM! BALDURS FUCKING GATE. Oh yes, the missus sat there for hours on end begging to be fucked & wanting some attention whilst I sank hours & hours into this wonderful game.
I turned into quite a cunt, got greedy for some fresh pussy, and swat her as I then went on to indulge in years of drink, filth & most importantly RPGs. I had a bad year in the early 00's, having several close people pass away & having a string of bad luck incidents such as a car accident & losing my job. So the next thing I'm drinking way too much and running through life chaotically. At this point I started playing in bands & had a wonderful routine of drinking, playing, drinking more, fucking some slut, drinking more, falling into some random flat I was renting & playing all night on CRPGs or the PS1 & 2. And then boom! Another love came into my life........
Kat. What a slag. What a wonderfully, beautiful, filthy fucking whore. She was 9 years my junior and 17 when I met her, and not only was she stunning submissive & fun, but she took filth to a whole new level. Pissing, girl-girl threesomes, brutally rough sex, it truly was a love which I'd never experienced since Super Mario World. Things just fell so perfect it was unreal, it was like fate smiled on me and gave me everything I wanted. She was a God-send and somehow managed to indulge my demons, whilst also sobering me up & settling me down. After a few years we moved in together and I spent the best December I've ever had tucked up in front of a raging open fire in our lush house, playing Dragon Age:Origins, Deus Ex, Divinity 2:TDKS, The Sabotuer etc. and ordering a whore for us both to fuck on payday once a month. It marked the start of the best relationship I'd ever had, mainly because I spent an absolutely FUCK LOAD of time gaming too. We were together for 9 years, and seven of that was pure bliss. She was fantastic, someone who just lifted my soul by being around her, and the whole life was just bliss.
Sadly, she thought she was missing out on living a life which she never had, and after 9 years we split. Which was a gut wrench and kicker.......but which co-incided with a new PC, Risen 2, and THE WITCHER 2 motherfuckers! When life gives you lemons, play games.
Now she's recently got back in touch regretting leaving and wanting me back. I'm with another lass & have been enjoying CRPGs on the PC, and trying to find any half decent console games on the utterly shite PS4. Sadly I've gone from being a super fit healthy lad to a decimated semi-disabled waste thanks to doctors mis-diagnosed & mis-prescribed drugs. Where I go from here who knows, but ones things for sure, I'll game. We'll all game.
TLDR: I like games too, and have a Merry Xmas.
I've an Owl & an Eagle on both shoulders, and their wings spread across my chest.
