15 Years Ago Today...

So began my obsession with the little pixelated people called Sims.  Not once did I ever think I'd be sticking with something for 15 years and still love it as much as I did that first day.  I couldn't even imagine that there would be not just a 2nd version but now up to a 4th version.  It's gotten me through some tough times.  What fun it is to create this perfect little world where the biggest problem is not making it to the toilet on time!

Going back to SimCity I've been playing some sort of Sim game for over half my life.  Playing video games since I was a teenager which I guess isn't such a big thing nowadays but these were the days of Pong and the Atari 2600.  Moved on to the PC about 1991, discovered SimCity and besides my SNES haven't played much besides Sim games.  I even bought a PS2 just to play The Sims when my computer couldn't handle Sims 1 anymore.

I'll end this here before I got into a Grandpa Simpson like speech.  I just want to say that I am a Simmer for life.  I can see myself playing some version of this game for as long as it's around and as long as I can.  And that's just what I'm going to do right now.  Show my Simmies some loving.

Go 4th and Sim!
Simmer 4 Life!
