Page 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 How I started on Gamestotal.com I started using the computer around 1985 and mostly it was the computer games which attracted me at first. At around 1990 I started taking apart my computer. Back then it was the PC-AT and the 286. I can still recall that the games started off with 4 colors and gradually improved to 256 with the arrival of the VGA. It was at this time around 1991 when I started programming. My first language was basic. The best accomplishment was being able to produce 256 colors with a 4 color CGA computer. This was thanks to a friend of mine who is much older than me, which showed me some of the tricks-of-the-trade, so called. Both of us teamed up to make some software for companies and some games. He tried to sell some of the games and I think may have actually sold one to one company for a couple of hundred bucks. That was considered a lot way back then. Especially in Malaysia where you can cheaply buy pirated software/games for as low as USD$10 bucks. Yeah, it is true that you can get what ever software at that price. Of course with the recession and all prices has dropped to a mere USD$1.50 now a days for games/software. It is not that I condone piracy it is just too rampant over here in Malaysia. You can practically get it in small mobile-stalls (ones which they can pack up easily to escape cops and copyright people) at the corner of any road. Gee, I seemed to have side tracked. Now back to the original story.  Next
