I've been a computer game addict for as long as I can remember. Our first computer was an MSX machine (can't recall the model nor the manufacturer) in the early 90s. And it has mostly been about games always, though later on such actions as programming and web design have become big part of my computer life too.
I never imagined I'd need instructions on how to play well. I could internalize almost any game in very short period of time and after that always do reasonably well. But there were always better players. Always someone who 'fragged' you for the tenth time in a game, smashed your army to pieces in just minutes or drove that one tenth of a second better time in every race. That made me feel helpless and angry at the same time. Gaming had become more of an annoyance than fun! Often leaving the computer after a long playing session simply made me feel frustrated more than relaxed.
