I am just curious as to what year everyone began downloading and playing spiderweb software games... Poll Information This poll contains 1 question(s). 34 user(s) have voted.

I actually started playing Exile off of here back in late 1997. So guess that makes it 7 years for me... I've personally loved every game except Homeland... Many, many hours I've devoted to playing games over and over. I think I played through Geneforge 1 about 10 times...

Another "When did you start" topic? I see it's that time of the month again... :D I came here in May 2003 to ask a technical question on Avernum 3, and I just sort of stuck around. Took part in some BoE designing discussions because I was then working on my first BoE scenario (still working on it, btw, though a bit infrequently - every 2-3 months for a day or so). Also some of the debates on General, and then I saw the roleplays. Well, and that's why I'm still here. :) Edit: Oh, it's about the games. Well, I got E3 on a Shareware CD around Spring 2001. So that makes it 3 and a half years for me. BoE must have been in August 01, because I started playing around with the editor when school was starting. Then, perhaps in October, I got the idea for my first scenario. Which happens to be still unfinished, after 3 years and 9 nine days (and, probably, around 2 hours or so). Slowly catching up with Rhapsody in Blue in terms of longest development time. :P [ Tuesday, October 26, 2004 08:06: Message edited by: Her sails he wove of Silver fair ] -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

I started playing the games with Avernum 1 shortly after it came out, whenever that was. I think it was '99 or '00. I played BoE briefly in '00, making a scenario late in '00 (I think). Then I wandered away from Blades until this year, but I kept playing the other SW games. Finally, in Feb '04, I joined the community in anticipation of the impending release of BoA and have been around ever since. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I started with E1. I want to say it was all the way back in 1994, but I'm not sure that's absolutely accurate. It has been quite a while, at any rate. —Alorael, who can say with certainty that it was more than eight years ago. That's a lot of hours spent in virtual caves!

I think I found Exile III on a CD about five years ago. A few months later, I found BoE on another CD and started designing for that.

I started at about when Avernum 1 had been released and I read about it at some other site, and 2 was on the way.

I found Exile III on a MacWorld CD six years ago, I remember playing it gave me allmost the same feeling as when I played Prince of Persia for the first time... Joined the forums in 2001, posted a little, had a one year break, and then started to post again. -------------------- 33111-CRUSADER-4849 Posts: 662 | Registered: Friday, September 13 2002 07:00 |

Ya, I got the E3 demo on a CD, too. I think it was more that 5 years ago when I first played it, so there we go. However, 5 years ago I was only 9. I must have looked all over the map for the Agate Tower. :D -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Back when E1 was released. I don't remember what year that was, and I don't really care. I don't really play Spidweb games, just Quake 3 tournaments. My passion for PC games is dying... hopefully Half-Life 2 will bring it back. -------------------- The critics agree! Demonslayer is "a five star hit!" raves TIMES Weekly!

I remember starting by playing the E1 demo on a 1995 demo CD that my parents got. The graphics on it do not look anything like the graphics it has right now. So I would think the demo wasn't even the complete game or something... I never did register it. -------------------- "Friendship is two things: Trust, and sharing.

I played Exile 1 and 2 and didn't like them that much. I then played Blades of Exile and joined the community in around '98 or '99. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I got a demo disk with Exile I and Exile II on it. For some reason, they immediately captured my soul, so I played both demos all the way through and promptly forgot about them both for six months. This would have been around...1998, 1999, I think. Anyway, the really big day for me was when I decided to try and look up the cool cats who made these things. I did so, and the good times rolled. Even if I never did, and still haven't, registered the Exile games (except for BoE) because I ended up waiting for Avernum. Posts: 236 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |
