.<<<  How old were you when you bought TFT and why? >>>

I was all of 12 in 1977, and hung around this hobby shop that supplied me 
and my hyperactive friends with our D&D supplies. ( At this point I still 
remember Bal rogs and Hobbits being in our rule books! ) As I said, I hung 
out there ALLOT! And one day a game called Ogre came in. As I recall, I 
purchased Melee after playing that and being impressed by Melee right away. 
I had a best friend over, and we played a quick round of one on one comabt. 
My friends jaw hit the ground as we realised that this played INFINITELY 
faster than D&D, was far more realistic, and EXACTLY what we had been 
looking for. ALL of my friends came around after one run through.
I got Death Test when it came into the hobby store. As I recall, I got sick 
that day, and couldn't get to read it. Towards the end of a really bad 
bought of flu, I picked it up and ran an adventure in my mind. Turning the 
pages furiously as I concocted a story line of the events I was reading, my 
mother came in to take my temperature. It sems that by reading and 
engrossing myself in Death Test, I caused my temperature to go up over 100! 
I got to stay home an extra day, and complete the epic while my folks were 
at work. Ahhhh Deat Test and an extremely high metabolism. I still have 
both!
