My First Computer Experience

My first computer experience was on the Compaq Presario CDS 744 back in the year 1995.  I was 6 years old and I used that computer to play "Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire."  It was my favorite game at the time, I even liked it more then my super nintendo games.  The reason that I liked it so much was because it was the first 3-D game I have ever played.  All the other games I had played like Super Mario Bros. were all 2-D side scrollers, but this game was 3-D and I thought the graphics for the game were amazing.  There was always one level I would get stuck on and that was when I had to manuver the Millenium Falcon thru what remember as a construction site of some base like the Death Star.  Years later I would play that same level and I was able to complete the mission with ease.  That game was the first of many other games I would love to play on the computer.
